The NFL offseason is winding down, but Sophia Culpo is making sure the spotlight stays on her. The sister-in-law of San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has set social media ablaze with a sizzling new swimsuit photo from her recent trip to France.
Culpo, whose sister Olivia married McCaffrey in June 2024, shared a series of vacation snaps that quickly went viral. In one standout image, she poses confidently in a chic swimsuit, and the reaction from fans has been nothing short of electric.
"Sophia lookin absolutely like a STAR," one fan gushed in the comments. Another simply wrote, "Gorgeous," while a third added, "So beautiful and amazing." The post has racked up thousands of likes and comments, proving that Culpo knows how to command attention online.
While Olivia Culpo is a former Miss USA and Miss Universe and a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, Sophia is carving out her own viral niche. Her growing social media presence has made her a familiar face to NFL fans, even if her connection to McCaffrey is what first put her on their radar.
McCaffrey, who has been busy preparing for the upcoming season, has nothing but praise for his wife and her family. "I have the best wife and she did a great job of doing that," he told PEOPLE. "I never have a hard time having fun and keeping it to myself or keeping it to us, but it can get so stressful. And I think I say I have the best wife because there’s nobody that plans better than her."
Off the field, Sophia's personal life has also drawn curiosity. She previously dated NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios, with the pair announcing their split in 2023. In an interview with People, she opened up about keeping relationships private: "I think keeping what’s personal and what’s so special to you private, it’s the best thing for you and your relationships. But we all live and learn, and we’re all just doing our best."
Before Berrios, she had a two-year relationship with attorney Michael Stevens. More recently, she teased a new romance in a TikTok video, though she's kept the details under wraps.
As the McCaffrey-Culpo family continues to make headlines, Sophia's latest post is a reminder that she's a star in her own right. Fans are already eagerly awaiting her next upload, and if this week's reaction is any indication, she won't disappoint.
