McCaffrey and his longtime girlfriend, Olivia Culpo, announced on Instagram that the couple got engaged earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>The couple collaborated on a post captioned \u201c4.2.23\u201d with two infinity emojis. 30-year-old Culpo and 26-year-old McCaffrey met each other in June 2019. Culpo previously dated Nick Jonas for a few years. McCaffrey ended an exciting sixth NFL season. He was traded from the Carolina Panthers to San Francisco, who got to the NFC Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the 49ers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, who ultimately lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. After only playing in 10 games the last two seasons, McCaffrey played in all 17 games this season, earning him the second-place spot in the Comeback Player of the Year voting. Last season, he made his second Pro Bowl after rushing for 1,139 yards and scoring 13 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>McCaffrey and Culpo posted on Instagram over the last couple of days about a recent \u201croad trip,\u201d and many commented it was about time the NFL star proposed. McCaffrey proposed while the couple was on a getaway in Utah with a ring designed by\u00a0Ring Concierge\u00a0(with the couple\u2019s pup Oliver Sprinkles standing by!). Culpo\u2019s ring is a Whisper Thin three-stone oval with epaulet side stones in two-tone of yellow gold and platinum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe worked with Christian to thoughtfully design a ring that encompassed Olivia\u2019s trendsetting style while still remaining timeless \u2014 a beautifully cut Oval flanked with Epaulette side stones in a handcrafted gold and platinum setting,\u201d shared Nicole Wegman, founder and CEO of\u00a0Ring Concierge.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cqv_0OLvsPd\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cqv_0OLvsPd\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Olivia Frances Culpo (@oliviaculpo)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Last November, Culpo told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/why-olivia-culpo-broke-her-no-athletes-ever-again-dating-rule-for-christian-mccaffrey-exclusive\"><em>Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> she was willing to break her\u00a0rule against dating athletes\u00a0again after her previous failed relationships because McCaffrey was different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s just the best; I feel like he is really everything that I could ever ask for,\u201d she said of McCaffrey. \u201cSo I never have to worry about anything.

We have a lot in common in that respect. I feel like you can really tell who a person is by the people that raise them, and I love his parents so much. They have a great relationship.\u201d The two first met when friends set them up,\u00a0Culpo shared in an Instagram post\u00a0celebrating their third anniversary.
