Christian McCaffrey's wife, Olivia Culpo, has shared her thoughts on the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles that have displaced thousands of people.

A 32-year-old model thanked first responders on Instagram early Wednesday morning as thousands of firefighters responded to multiple wildfires that broke out Tuesday evening near a nature preserve in the foothills northeast of LA.

She expressed gratitude to the firefighters who are working relentlessly to safeguard communities and wildlife, while also requesting prayers for those affected by the devastating fires in a post on Instagram Stories.

In 2019, Culpo and McCaffrey started dating and got engaged in April 2023. They officially married over the summer in Culpo's home state of Rhode Island.

In September, reports indicate that they bought a $14.5 million mansion in Los Angeles, which was previously owned by actor George Clooney and was purchased from Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks in 1995, according to Page Six.

In October, McCaffrey and Culpo revealed on social media that they are residing in a San Francisco home during the football season.

The Los Angeles Fire Department has called upon all off-duty firefighters as the state has deployed over 1,400 firefighting personnel.

Currently, four fires are burning, with the Palisades fire being the largest, having already burned 4.5 square miles.
