Picture this: Christian McCaffrey, the NFL’s powerhouse running back, cruising through L.A. in a sleek Cadillac Escalade. Not just any ride, but the Escalade IQ—Cadillac’s latest electric marvel. It’s a scene straight out of a movie, but it’s real life for McCaffrey, who recently became a global brand ambassador for Cadillac. The veteran RB’s partnership with a $44 billion luxury automaker isn’t just about cars. Nope. In fact, it marks McCaffrey’s another venture into luxury brands.
And let’s be real—it feels personal for the running back. Why? Well, McCaffrey grew up watching his dad, Ed McCaffrey (the former NFL wide receiver), in McDonald’s commercials. Now that he himself is a global brand ambassador of a luxury automaker, no wonder it’s a full circle moment for the back. The interesting part?
Well, on Thursday, Cadillac and McCaffrey shared a clip on social media as they’re promoting the latest Escalade IQ. “Elite performance knows elite performance,” the caption reads. The clip features Christian grinding in the gym, lifting weights to prepare for his elite performance. But when it comes to recovery time? Yeah, the guy had a recovery session in an Escalade IQ while announcing the arrival of the latest Cadillac marvel.
But that wasn’t the only highlight of that clip. Soon McCaffrey wrapped up, his mom, Lisa McCaffrey, slid into his comment section, and recalled that one moment when she brought him back home from the hospital in an Escalade. Literally. “Literally brought you home from the hospital in an Escalade #fullcircle ,” Lisa commented. Classic tale.
While she hasn’t revealed the timeline of the event, considering the running back has sustained a fair share of injuries in his NFL career, we can assume that Lisa might have brought him home often. In an Escalade. Last month, the 28-year-old veteran RB became the brand ambassador of Cadillac.
The $44 billion corp announced the news through a social media post, captioning, “Welcome, @christianmccaffrey — Let’s Take The Cadillac. #BrandAmbassador.” The post features the Niners‘ RB in a black suit in front of a Cadillac. And just like that—the next thing you know, the guy’s in another business deal. In short, it’s safe to say that 2025 has been a great year for the RB so far. Why?
Well, a couple of months ago, McCaffrey and his wife, Olivia Culpo, announced that they’re expecting their first child together.
Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo are glowing with excitement
Less than a year after tying the knot back in 2024, Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo announced the soon-to-arrive of their first child together. The couple shared a clip on their social media handles to share the happy news back in March with a beautiful maternity shoot. Olivia captioned her post, writing, “Next chapter” and “motherhood.”
And ever since then, the fans have been speculating whether it’s a girl or a boy. However, Olivia recently shed light on the internet debate as it has already become a family affair. A few days ago, soon-to-be parents hosted a baby shower for their first kid that included the couple’s loved ones. Olivia shared a sneak peek from the baby shower 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.”
Things are getting pretty interesting in the McCaffrey household. See, Olivia had earlier guessed that it was a boy. But now that everyone surrounding her is expecting it to be a girl, she might be having second thoughts. But Christian? Oh, that’s the interesting part. The soon-to-be dad wasn’t sugarcoating it and is confident that his kid will be a boy.
“I’m your dad, and I think you’re gonna be the boy,” he said. While it’s too early for us to predict whether it’s a boy or a girl, as the baby is expected to arrive in December. But one thing’s for sure: as the couple is getting closer to welcoming their first kid, they’re surely glowing with excitement.
