How cute is this outfit?\u201d She then brought Colette closer to the camera, chanting, \u201cGo, Daddy, yay!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proud mom also gave fans a behind-the-scenes look as she cradled her daughter on the field and introduced her to fellow NFL wives Claire Kittle, Sarah Taylor, and Kristin Juszczyk.<\/p>\n<p>Other moms could relate to the emotional milestone. Country star Jessie James Decker, whose husband Eric once played in the NFL, commented on Culpo\u2019s post: \u201cSo beautiful. Brings back so many memories having this very moment when Eric played and Vivi was born. Cherish it ????.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just days before the game, Culpo reflected on her new season of life during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. She admitted motherhood has been a whirlwind, saying, \u201cShe\u2019s only two months old, so I\u2019m still in the thick of it. And it\u2019s just the time that everybody talks about going by so fast, so I\u2019m trying to soak it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cEverything changes so fast, so it\u2019s very overwhelming, but I just take each day for what it is and just roll with the punches because a lot of things change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Culpo and McCaffrey, who began dating in 2019, tied the knot in Rhode Island in June 2024 after a 2023 engagement.
