Christian McCaffrey Announces Deal With $47 Billion Corp as Mom Reveals Full Circle Moment for 49ers Star

Despite being born into an athletic family, Christian McCaffrey’s entry to the NFL was not a cakewalk. Christian’s father, Ed McCaffrey, may have won three Super Bowls during his NFL career, but it was a brown-haired woman with a soccer player’s stamina who truly pushed the future Niners running back to achieve his NFL dream and carry forward his father’s legacy. In Lisa McCaffrey’s own words, all her sons were competitive, but none were like Christian.

Talking to Chris Ballard of Sports Illustrated, Lisa recalled her journey from not wanting a boy to traveling 25 weekends in a row to watch her sons, including Christian, play at 47. Given his lineage and background, Christian was destined for greatness. But had it not been for his mother, the 28-year-old may not have come this far. So, earlier this week, when San Francisco’s star RB scored an early-season touchdown, once again, it was Lisa, who ensured at least one parent was present for every big moment, cheering for the 28-year-old.

Picture this: Christian McCaffrey cruising through L.A. in a sleek Cadillac. Not just any ride, but the Escalade IQ—Cadillac’s latest electric marvel. It’s a scene straight out of a movie. But for McCaffrey, it’s real life, having become a global ambassador for the brand earlier this year. But the veteran RB’s partnership with the $47 billion automaker isn’t just about cars.

This one also feels personal. Why? On May 21, Cadillac and McCaffrey shared a clip on social media promoting the model. Captioned, “Elite performance knows elite performance,” the clip featured Christian grinding in the gym, lifting weights to prepare for his elite performance. But when it comes to recovery time? The 28-year-old hopped into the automobile, where he meticulously advertised every unique feature his ride had to offer. But that wasn’t the only highlight of that clip.

Soon, McCaffrey’s mom, Lisa, jumped into the conversation with an exciting tidbit. “Literally brought you home from the hospital in an Escalade #fullcircle ❤️,” she wrote in the comment section. That’s what we call a full-circle moment!

Having said that, the San Francisco 49ers player reportedly became the second athlete in the world, besides tennis star Frances Tiafoe, to serve as an ambassador for the luxury vehicle brand. The latter announced the news of McCaffrey’s deal through a social media post on April 21, captioned, “Welcome, @christianmccaffrey — Let’s Take The Cadillac. #BrandAmbassador.” But looks like not just on the professional and business front, McCaffrey’s responsibilities are also expanding in his personal life.

Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo are glowing with excitement

Less than a year after tying the knot back in June 2024, Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo announced they were expecting a child together. The couple shared a clip on their social media handles back in March featuring a beautiful maternity shoot. Olivia captioned her post, “next chapter, motherhood 🤍“. 

And ever since then, fans have been speculating whether it’s a girl or a boy. However, Olivia, who wants to wait till her due date to find out, recently shed light on the internet debate. A few days ago, the soon-to-be parents hosted a baby shower that included the couple’s loved ones. Olivia shared a sneak peek from the event on her Instagram, writing, “I am your mom… And I have no idea who you are. I thought you were a boy. Now, everyone thinks you’re a girl, so I think you’re a girl.”

As for Christian, he’s going more toward a mini-version of himself. “I’m your dad, and I think you’re gonna be the boy,” he said. Let’s wait a bit more till we find out, shall we?
