Olivia Culpo is embracing her pregnancy journey and sharing glimpses of her growing baby bump with her fans followers on social media. Over the weekend, the 32-year-old former pageant queen shared more about her pregnancy journey as she prepares for the arrival of her first child with her husband, Christian McCaffrey.

Olivia took to Instagram to share photos and videos. In one of the photos, she can be seen relaxing in bed wearing a gray cardigan paired with a form-fitting brown jumpsuit. She also posted a casual, bare-faced selfie where she completed her look with a corduroy hat.

She has been very active on her social media platforms, and took to TikTok to share a fun moment about her pregnancy, breaking down her symptoms and engaging in the “old wives’ tale” tradition of gender predictions.

While she revealed she doesn't know the sex of her baby yet, her “intuition” is telling her it might be a boy. However, she also noted signs that could indicate it’s a girl, such as acne, morning sickness, and headaches.

Olivia pointed out that cravings for salty snacks, a lower heart rate for the baby, and a lack of moodiness might suggest she’s expecting a boy. She jokingly admitted that while she doesn’t have the answer, she is enjoying the mystery while the couple eagerly await the arrival of the baby.
