He credited Olivia Culpo and their families for helping him balance his career demands with fatherhood.

"I feel guilty at times," McCaffrey said on Aug. 5, via E! Online. "I'm sleeping well in the hotel bedroom while she's doing the dirty work. But I'm super thankful for her and she's doing an incredible job."

He added that the separation is eased by occasional visits from Culpo and her mother to the 49ers’ California training facilities.

Since returning home from the hospital, Culpo has shared pieces of her recovery journey with her more than five million Instagram followers.

Culpo poked fun at her hospital packing habits on July 18, which included flameless candles and plush bedding. She described herself as a “comfort queen” during her recovery period.

San Francisco’s season opener against Seattle is set for Sept. 7. As it approaches, the couple is committed to navigating parenthood together, even if it means balancing bottle prep with playbook study.
