Olivia Culpo Keeps Baby Number Two's Room Neutral—And Has the Perfect Reason Why

When it comes to preparing a nursery, expectant parents often feel the pressure to have everything perfectly styled and gender-specific before the baby arrives. But Olivia Culpo is taking a refreshingly practical approach to her second nursery.

The 34-year-old shared snapshots of her home renovations on Instagram on Sunday, June 28, revealing how she’s outfitting not one but two nurseries at the Los Angeles home she and her husband, Christian McCaffrey, purchased in August 2025. The setup is telling: one room for her daughter Colette, born in July 2025, featuring rosy tones, a wooden crib, a striped couch, and built-in bookshelves; the other for the baby on the way—a room kept intentionally neutral with tan furnishings, animal-print curtains, and brown-and-white accents because they don’t yet know the baby’s gender.

What makes Culpo’s approach so grounded is her reasoning. She doesn’t feel the need to rush a fully styled nursery before birth because, as she explained, newborns spend those first weeks eating around the clock and sleeping close to their parents anyway. In the early days, she points out, you really only need a bassinet and feeding supplies—maybe a good rocking chair if you’re lucky. The gender-neutral design isn’t a design trend; it’s just practical flexibility for a room that’ll evolve as the baby grows.

The room also doubles as a guest space for her sister Aurora Culpo’s children, Remi and Solei, so she deliberately kept twin beds in place. It’s the kind of multi-use thinking that speaks to real family life—not a Pinterest fantasy.

Culpo and McCaffrey, 30, announced the pregnancy last month with a post featuring a sonogram and Colette on Olivia’s lap. The couple married in July 2024 at the Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, after getting engaged in April 2023. Between managing two young children, a major home renovation, and life as an NFL partner, Culpo’s sensible take on nursery prep feels like a breath of fresh air in a world of over-the-top baby planning.
