Olivia Culpo Reveals She's On Dieting Days After Baby Colette's Arrival

Olivia Culpo is handling motherhood the best way she knows how in a way that's all her own, filled with her charm, humor, and desserts. Just days after giving birth to her and NFL star Christian McCaffrey's first child, the former Miss Universe took to Instagram to offer fans a no-frills peek inside her postpartum world, leaving them with a combination of real-life details and a few relatable chuckles.

Hosea, 33, the model and TV personality, gave birth to baby Colette earlier this month via C-section. Now, as she gets used to motherhood, Olivia has already shown that she's not about to lose her spirit any time soon. On Instagram Stories in late July, Olivia revealed that her mom, Susan Culpo, came by with her arms full of raspberry blondie bars and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. "Here goes my diet," Olivia joked to her followers, adding a skull emoji and the admission, "I told her I'm on a diet." That moment perfectly captures Olivia's ability to remain grounded and whimsical in the face of all major life transitions. It's about moving forward with authenticity. And for Olivia, indulgences come sugar-coated.

This is far from the first time the Culpo Sisters star has been candid about the realities of postpartum. On July 17, she shared a snuggly snap with baby Colette, as the two wore matching robes. "Mommy-daughter matching, diapers and all." It's an uncomplicated yet endearing acknowledgment of the muddy thrill of early motherhood. Olivia also went into quirky, unapologetic mode by responding to criticism of her hospital bag essentials. Posting a picture of flameless candles on a hospital's shelf, she wrote, "Look what I still couldn't part ways with." It was her openness and her humor that resonated most strongly with fans, who became inspired by her to believe that motherhood doesn't have to mean sacrificing one's sense of personality.

Although it's bound to raise a few eyebrows to speak of "dieting" so soon after giving birth, Olivia's comment was obviously a tongue-in-cheek line and not a statement about any postpartum pressure. It's nice to see a celebrity mom hit back at the unrealistic standard placed on women who have just given birth, with a cookie in hand and a laugh that she won't hold back. In Olivia Culpo's world, being a mom is glamorous, gritty, and filled with giggles, and we're here for it.
