The 34-year-old spoke out about the comments in a TikTok video shared on September 23. Culpo said, “I want to talk about pregnancy weight gain. I feel like everybody’s always so surprised by like, ‘Oh my god, she really blows up.'” She continued, “I take a lot of pride in the fact that I am growing a baby. Every time I see that I’m growing, I always think that my baby’s growing—and that means that my baby’s healthy.”
Culpo said there is “no need to be worried about pregnancy weight gain.” She noted that “everybody’s getting skinny” these days. She also reminded other pregnant women that they are doing “the most selfless thing” for “the best reason ever.” The model and actress said, “A lot of people—including myself—compare, like, ‘Oh, this person got so skinny so fast.’ You don’t know if that person was breastfeeding. You don’t know what that person’s supply was like. You don’t know what that person’s labor was like. The only thing you can control is what you’re doing as a mother for your child. Everything else is just noise.”
Culpo said she has a strong support system in her husband as she navigates the physical changes that come with pregnancy. She joked that McCaffrey is “so in shape” and “annoyingly perfect in every single way.” She also called her changing body “the most vulnerable part” of pregnancy and added that it is all part of the “beautiful sacrifice of motherhood.”
The couple, who first fueled romance rumors in May 2019, revealed on Instagram on May 8 that they are expecting their second child. Culpo and McCaffrey got engaged in April 2023 and exchanged vows at a Rhode Island chapel on June 29, 2024.
