In 2022, the model revealed during an episode of TLC reality show The Culpo Sisters that neither she nor McCaffrey were ready to start a family just yet. "I've talked to Christian and we're on the same page about having kids, we both want to have kids, but the timeline of that is something that is not in the foreseeable future," she explained (via People). "He is completely and totally focused on football and he should be. He's not ready to have kids. It's not really an option."

Culpo continued, "I always thought that by 30, I'd be married and have kids...I'm definitely the kind of person who likes to have a plan. Right now, I have no plan because I have so many question marks, so I'm freaking out...It's definitely very, very stressful." She also revealed that she'd ideally have "four or five or six" kids.

During the episode, Culpo discussed her endometriosis diagnosis, and the "pressure" the condition had placed on her fertility journey. "I wish I didn't put so much pressure on myself," she explained (via People). "I have this ticking time bomb but it's because I have had the reproductive scare, and he's four or five years younger than me." She continued, "I'm so worried about putting pressure on my relationship in a way that's not going to move it in the direction that I want."
