Olivia Culpo Sparks Debate With Hospital Bag Picks — But Fans Say She's Got It Right
Packing for labor is rarely glamorous — unless you're Olivia Culpo. The model and influencer's hospital bag video is going viral for being both luxe and (possibly) practical. Culpo, 33, who announced the birth of her daughter with NFL player Christian McCaffrey earlier this week, has sparked conversation with a TikTok showing exactly what she packed for the hospital. Since being posted on July 10, the video has received more than 1.9 million views and nearly 4,000 comments. 'I worked really hard on this, and I know how overwhelming the whole process is,' Culpo says at the start of the clip. 'I committed a while ago to making a video. I've watched so many of these and they're really interesting.' It quickly becomes clear Culpo isn't a throw-it-in-a-duffel-and-go kind of packer. 'Everything in this first suitcase is, like, my comfort stuff,' she explains. 'Two fluffy comforters, twin size for Christian and I ... Two sleep masks. I have one mini fan. I actually got another one.' She continues, sharing that she also intends to pack items for aromatherapy, a plushy robe from Chasa and a photo of her dog. Culpo topped off her list of comfortable items with what she describes as the "most ridiculous" thing she's packed: a set of flameless flickering candles. When it comes to outfits, Culpo has those covered, too — from a matching lounge robe set and 'all of my favorite pajama sets' to an 'all-cashmere black outfit,' nursing bras, and products for foot swelling. Culpo ends the video with a dose of self-awareness: 'I hope you guys find it useful, but if you didn't find any of this helpful and you think I'm ridiculous... then I slightly agree with you.' While some viewers were surprised by the sheer volume of what she packed, others defended her approach. "As a labor bring whatever you want," wrote one viewer. "Comfort is important, especially if you have a C-section and a longer hospital stay." When one user questioned Culpo's decision to include so many white bedding a clothing items, she replied, 'If you're bleeding enough after a C-section to soak THROUGH your pads/diaper/bandages and onto your bedding, that's a serious medical issue, not a packing fail,' she wrote. 'Also… the hospital sheets are already white. Are you going to ask them if they have other colors for you lol.' In large part, her inclusion of the candles had people debating. "The flickering candles made me literally LOL," one commented, while another said, "Everyone hating on the flickering candles hasn't given birth LOL having mine made my room so much more peaceful!" "I am SOOOOOO happy I had these," Culpo replied. "They come with a remote control.. I had a c section so I couldn't get up to turn on or off the lights (which are horrible and fluorescent anyway) .. I wanted to be able to see the baby at night etc. No one will ever convince me these were a bad idea I'm sorry." In the end, most users just wanted to know what actually worked for the model at the end of the day. 'Omg are you kidding,' one person commented. 'That is so much — you have to do another video and tell us what you actually used lol. This article was originally published on

Danniella Westbrook and her boyfriend are said to have been friends for six years before taking things up a notch and things turned romantic between them Danniella Westbrook is "deeply in love" with her new man who she's '"ready to marry", it has been reported. The former EastEnders actress is currently in a relationship with bareknuckle boxer Chasa Symonds, who she first met in a pub six years ago. The pair seem to be as loved up as ever as Chasa has said he will support the star through he facial surgeries. They first met in a Croydon pub and were friends first before deciding to make things romantic. A source has since claimed that Danniella is in a "love bubble" and is ready to be with her boyfriend for the foreseeable. It's also said that she is ready to take the next step and tie the knot with Chasa. A source told OK!: "Danniella feels that she's found her soulmate. Chasa doesn't judge her one bit and doesn't care what has happened in her past. He understands all about the issues she's been through but is supportive – he just wants to make her happy. She's really smitten and feels like she can trust him, which is a really big deal for her. "This is something she's prayed for for a long time, it could be something special. She is thinking about marriage and definitely wants to tie the knot with him, it's a no brainer for her and she's ready to commit fully. They're in a love bubble so wedding bells are definitely on the cards." Danniella recently took to her Instagram page to discuss their romance, she said: "Seven years ago you walked into a pub in Croydon to watch the football and walked straight into me. And we spoke and laughed all night share chocolate brownies and our fate was sealed... "7 years of chats and texts and seeing each other through some dark days via dms .. we always said one day it will happen, what's meant to be won't pass us by… And here we are finally together and living the life we always wanted together. We saved the best for last and it was definitely worth the wait . #andtheylivedhappilyeverafter." Danniella's nasal septum collapsed from excessive cocaine use more than two decades ago. She has since revealed that she is still trying to repair the damage caused and the effects of osteoporosis. Her appearance has since changed due to corrective surgeries but Chasa is reportedly prepared to support his girlfriend through any more. Danniella spoke in 2023 about how she hated the results of her facial reconstruction that she had that year. This came after having to wait seven years to find a surgeon willing to do the operation due to the condition of her septum.

Daniella Westbrook wedding 'on the cards' to 'soulmate' ex-addict boxer
Things appear to be hotting up between Daniella Westbrook and her bare knuckle fighter boyfriend Charlie Symonds - with a source claiming marriage is even on the cards Danniella Westbrook has had her fair share of life dramas – but after going public with a new man, a source claims she's in a 'love bubble' and 'ready to commit'. The actress, who joined EastEnders at 16 years old and played Sam Mitchell on and off until 2016, appeared to be smitten with bare knuckle boxer Charlie 'Chasa Real Talk' Symonds on a sun-soaked break to Greece. Danniella and Chasa are believed to have been friends for six years, but have clearly taken their relationship to a new level and were seen packing on the PDAs. The mum of two, 51, was beaming as she and Croydon-born Charlie kissed and splashed around in the water. And now a source claims exclusively to OK! that what started as a close friendship has grown into something much deeper – and they've already talked about next steps. 'Danniella feels that she's found her soulmate. Chasa doesn't judge her one bit and doesn't care what has happened in her past. He understands all about the issues she's been through but is supportive – he just wants to make her happy. She's really smitten and feels like she can trust him, which is a really big deal for her. 'This is something she's prayed for for a long time, it could be something special. She is thinking about marriage and definitely wants to tie the knot with him, it's a no brainer for her and she's ready to commit fully. They're in a love bubble so wedding bells are definitely on the cards.' It's been more than two decades since Danniella's nasal septum collapsed from excessive cocaine use, and she revealed a few years ago that she was still trying to repair the damage caused, as well as the effects of osteoporosis. Her appearance has since changed dramatically thanks to corrective surgeries, but our source claims she would happily go under the knife again to achieve bridal perfection, adding: 'She would definitely have more surgery and get some tweaks before getting married, she's very much dedicated to repairing her looks and looking the best she can. 'She's already had a lot of operations, but she wants to go on until she feels content. Now she's found 'the one' she wants to make sure she's looking her best.' The former Dancing On Ice star, who has battled addiction for much of her adult life, revealed that her life had'changed dramatically' since losing her dad in January 2024, and she'd 'pulled herself back from the brink again.' She wrote on her socials last month: 'I got myself back into recovery and [have] taken the right opportunities that have come and do come my way. I feel so grateful, blessed and useful.' She gave her intrigued fans a peek into her budding romance when she hinted in another recent snap of the pair that 'a holiday romance was brewing', and that 'it may just become an everlasting love'. Charlie, 42, is a retired English professional welterweight boxer and is currently signed to Conor McGregor 's Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where he walks into the ring as the 'Croydon Bomber' The pair are believed to have reconnected in Dubai at the BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships) where Chasa was competing – and have been enjoying quality time together since. He opened up last year about his own experiences of drugs, confessing he'd 'gone down a dark road' but had been in recovery for more than seven years since hitting rock bottom. After going public, it seems Charlie and Danniella's fans are especially keen to see them go the distance. On one of the most recent snaps of them on Instagram, one follower urged the bare knuckle fighter to 'wife that one up, bro' – to which they both replied with red heart and hand-clapping emojis. Another person added: 'Please stay together forever' while another wrote: 'I've not seen you two so happy in a long time, long may it continue.' Things also seem to be looking up for Danniella when it comes to her relationship with her two children – Kai and Jodie – who she's been estranged from at various points in their lives. In 2023, the actress claimed she was heartbroken after her grown-up daughter Jodie, who she shares with ex husband Kevin Jenkins, had 'cut' her out of her life with no explanations. After a few followers posted on Jodie's social media urging her to get back in touch with her mum, she responded with a polite: 'If you don't know the situation please don't comment, thank you.' But it seems time can be a great healer and as of last month, things appeared to be improving. 'Having both my children back in contact with me and rebuilding what I broke is something I never thought I would get a chance to do,' Danniella said. 'The blessings just keep on coming one day at a time.' Our source says the TV star takes full responsibility for what's happened in the past but is determined to get things back on track. 'She's learned from her past mistakes, she's back in touch with her daughter and is so happy about it. She'll do everything she can to make sure things remain positive between them.' Hopefully Danniella gets the happiness she wants .
