In an Instagram story, Culpo\u2019s younger sister,\u00a0influencer Sophia Culpo, previously said she received an invitation to the pair\u2019s engagement party. It\u2019s unclear when and where the festivities will take place. McCaffrey presented Culpo with a stunning oval-cut engagement ring with side stones designed by\u00a0New York-based jeweler Ring Concierge.<\/p>\n<p>McCaffrey recently wrapped up his sixth NFL season. He was traded to San Francisco from the Carolina Panthers during the season. The 49ers reached the NFC Championship but lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost to Kansas City in the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>After playing in just 10 games total the previous two seasons, McCaffrey suited up for all 17 this season, earning him second place in the\u00a0Comeback Player of the Year\u00a0voting. He made his second Pro Bowl last season after rushing for 1,139 yards and scoring 13 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>McCaffrey will be back with the 49ers for 2023 with uncertainty at quarterback. While Brock Purdy is on schedule for rehab, San Francisco will likely have to choose between Trey Lance and Sam Darnold for Week 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oliva Culpo and San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey became engaged in April after dating for three years.
