Inside Olivia Culpo's over-the-top baby shower as fans think she's joining the new Real Housewives franchise
Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey offered a peek inside their ultra-luxe baby shower—and it was nothing short of a dream.
The model, 33, and her NFL superstar husband, 28—who tied the knot last June—looked every bit the glowing parents-to-be in a sweet photo carousel Olivia shared to Instagram on Thursday.
Nearly two months after announcing her first pregnancy in March, a source told the mom-to-be was already 'over six months along' at the time—meaning baby McCaffrey could be arriving sooner than fans expected.
Now, the superstar couple is showing how they're getting ready to welcome their little one in serious style.
No detail was spared for the lavish affair—extravagant table settings, elegant florals, luxe décor, and picture-perfect food and drinks made the entire event feel straight out of a magazine spread, as seen here.
And the over-the-top celebration didn't just wow the guests—it sparked buzz online that Olivia may be hinting at her next role: Bravo reality star.
Fans are now speculating that the stylish mom-to-be might be eyeing a spot on a new Real Housewives franchise.
On Wednesday, the network officially announced The Real Housewives of Rhode Island —and the timing of Olivia's lavish baby shower couldn't have been more perfect.
'THIS is the kind of Real Housewives of RI that Bravo should be putting forth,' one fan raved in the comments. 'The most elegant baby shower of all time.'
'That would be great,' another chimed in, while a third gushed, 'Omg I couldn't be more obsessed with every detail!!!'
Though Olivia hasn't commented on the Bravo speculation, she certainly leaned into the over-the-top celebration, calling it the 'baby shower of my dreams' and thanking everyone who helped pull off 'the best surprise ever.'
Olivia announced that she is pregnant nearly two months earlier on March 10 and took to Instagram to give her fans a first look at her baby bump.
The media personality posed in black and white photos while wearing a sleeveless, maxi dress that elegantly flowed around her.
She could be seen gently cradling her stomach and typed out in the caption: 'next chapter, motherhood.'

Culpo also uploaded a sweet video while joined by McCaffrey to give a behind-the-scenes look at a maternity photo shoot that they did outdoors.
That same month, a source told that the model was already six months along at the time of the pregnancy announcement.
'She started telling very close family members she was pregnant around Thanksgiving,' the insider said.
'Olivia has done a very good job at hiding her pregnancy with baggy clothing and covering her tummy with purses. She even used her dog Olive to help cover her bump.'
The source also added that Culpo 'is thrilled to be having a baby with the love of her life.'
The star later jumped to her TikTok account in March to share a clip as she opened up about her traumatic first trimester in a video that had been recorded back in December 2024.
