"I'm so excited and so grateful to be pregnant. It's been a long time coming. It's a really special experience," Culpo said.
She also described McCaffrey as a "natural" who was eager to embrace fatherhood. In the same interview, Culpo expressed gratitude for her mother's support throughout her pregnancy, realizing how much she needed her. "My mom has been so helpful, especially in the beginning. It was tough, but also memorable, and I'm so grateful for her. It's funny how when you're about to become a mom, you realize how much you need your mom," she added.
