After reports surfaced that Olivia Culpo nor Christian McCaffrey could afford a Super Bowl suite, the model is squashing the rumors, calling it “fake news.”
McCaffrey, who is a running back for the San Francisco 49ers and is set to play in the Super Bowl in a few days, reportedly could not afford a suite for his fiancé or family at the big game. Shockingly, the information came straight from McCaffrey’s MOM!
Culpo, however, is saying otherwise.
Olivia Culpo Says Super Bowl Suite Rumor Is ‘Fake News’

Christian McCaffrey’s mom, Lisa McCaffrey, spoke out about the Super Bowl on her “Your Mom” podcast, claiming that Super Bowl suites were so expensive, that her son, who brings in approximately $16M per NFL season, nor her soon-to-be daughter-in-law, who has an estimated net worth of $7M dollars, could not afford a suite at Allegiant Stadium.
“We looked into a suite, and none of us can afford it,” Lisa said. “Not even Christian [McCaffrey], money bags over there — nor money bags Olivia.”
“So, we are not in a suite,” she added. “I’ll tell you that right now.”
Lisa went on to seemingly blame the Taylor Swift hype for the price hikes, adding, “Long story short, they are outrageously expensive … I don’t know if it’s the Taylor Swift factor, I don’t know if it’s the first time in Vegas factor, there is just so much going on.”
“The big corporations buy out all the suites and then they give it to their clients as perks or their employees as perks,” she continued. “That’s who is buying the big suites.”

But it looks like the tables have turned as Olivia Culpo took to social media to announce that they do, in fact, have a suite for the big game on February 11.
“Fake news! Happy Birthday Lisa, I bought you a suite,” she wrote alongside one of the initial reports.
It is unclear who will be in the Super Bowl suite, but it is expected that McCaffrey’s mom, fiancé, and close friends be in the stands to cheer on the San Francisco 49ers.
It is also unknown if pop icon Taylor Swift will be able to attend the game to cheer on Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, as she has a big show in Tokyo the night before.

This news comes just after Christian McCaffrey put his Carolina house up for sale. This doesn’t come as too much of a surprise as he now plays with the San Francisco 49ers after being traded from the Carolina Panthers.
The eight-acre property in Mooresville, NC was listed last week for $12.5 million. It features six bedrooms, a one-bedroom guesthouse, and a three-car garage — plus a home gym, an ATV, a jet ski, and a boat are all included in the sale.
It seems McCaffrey will be planting his roots in San Francisco now that he signed a two-year deal with the team — and what would a better housewarming gift be than the Lombardi Trophy!?
The Super Bowl will take place on February 11 in Las Vegas.
