Olivia Culpo Shares She's on a Diet Days After Giving Birth

Olivia Culpo is sharing a sweet look into her postpartum journey.
After giving birth to her and husband Christian McCaffrey's first child—a daughter named Colette—in early July, the Culpo Sisters star posted a video of her mom Susan Culpo surprising her with several desserts, including a chocolate chip cookie and a raspberry blondie bar.
"Here goes my diet," Olivia joked on Instagram Stories July 23, adding in the caption alongside a skull emoji, "I told her I’m on a diet."
And the 33-year-old has been taking things in strides since returning home from the hospital following her C-section. As she quipped in a July 17 Instagram post featuring herself and her baby girl wearing coordinating robes, "Mommy-daughter matching, diapers and all."
Olivia also poked fun at online criticism over her decision to pack flameless candles in her hospital go-bag. Sharing a photo of the battery-powered votives on a shelf, she wrote on Instagram Stories July 15, "Look what I still couldn’t part ways with."
"These have really been AMAZING post c-section," she continued. "I got roasted a little for what I packed—but I ended up using it ALL."
Describing herself as a "comfort queen," Olivia added, "When you’re recovering from a C-section and stuck in the hospital for 3-4 plus days, having your creature comforts is no joke."
So, what else did Olivia pack for the hospital? As seen in a July 11 TikTok, the former Miss Universe also brought along extra pillows, fluffy throw blankets and two twin-sized comforters for herself and Christian, who she married in 2024.
“I’m such a pillow snob,” Olivia explained. “I knew that I was going to need specific pillows, it’s just like a me thing. I don’t know what the hospital pillows are like but I am not taking my chances. I need to get my beauty sleep."
In addition, she also packed two sleep masks, mini fans, aromatherapy spray, her "favorite pajama sets," and "all-cashmere black outfit" and, of course, her flameless candles.
As she sheepishly admitted of the latter amenity, “This is the most ridiculous thing."
