Christian McCaffrey Defends Olivia Culpo After Hate Over Wedding Dress

Published: 1:18 PM PDT, July 3, 2024

Christian McCaffrey isn’t standing for any negativity against his wife, Olivia Culpo.

On Wednesday, the San Francisco 49ers star, 28, came to his wife’s defense in the comments section, under a video taking aim at her Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown. 

On Tuesday, social media influencer Kennedy Bingham shared a video on Instagram and TikTok where she criticized Culpo’s wedding dress, from the structure to the controversial designers. For the big day, Culpo, 32, wore a white gown by Dolce & Gabbana that featured long sleeves, a crepe crew neck and a 16-foot lace veil. 

In the video, Bingham disagreed with the way that Culpo described her dress as “modest” and ultimately believes that the gown was “nothing,” and noted that it had an “absence of personality.” Furthermore she went on to claim that the former Miss Universe and running back were pushing a conservative agenda.

“It’s very clear that this was not a wedding,” Bingham said at the end of her video. “This was a conservative campaign, and it wasn’t even well done … You took this disingenuous pick me route that honestly felt more like you were thinking about your narrative than your actual marriage.” 

McCaffery was not impressed.

“What an evil thing to post online,” he wrote in the comments. “I hope you can find joy and peace in the world, the way my beautiful wife does.” 

Culpo also took to the comments to defend her dress and her stance in a back and forth with Bingham. 

“Wow what an absolutely evil person you are,” she wrote in a screenshot shared by the creator. “I hope no one ever tears you apart in this way because it’s extremely hurtful. I love this dress and it was everything I ever wanted and more.” 

Culpo also returned to the comments to clarify another one of the creator’s claims — which was that she lied about getting eyebrow enhancements during her wedding day. 

“Also, no I do not have eyebrow lamination or lash extensions. I’m sorry that infuriates you.”

Culpo and McCaffrey tied the knot over the weekend during a romantic ceremony in the model’s hometown of Rhode Island. The model took to Instagram to celebrate her big day and her dream dress with a series of photos.

“One more for the dress of my dreams,” she wrote. “Thank you @dolcegabbana for executing my vision perfectly. I cried the first time I tried it on. From the very first sketch, this was it for me. My dream dress. 🥹🤍.”

In 2022, prior to their dreamy 2023 engagement, Culpo gushed about the NFL superstar to ET.

“He’s just the best, I feel like he is really everything that I could ever ask for,” she said at the time. “So I never have to worry about anything.”
