Juszczyk’s wife, Kristin Juszczyk, added, “The best mom and dad there ever will be. We love you guys so much!!”
Culpo and McCaffrey began dating in 2019 and were engaged in April 2023. In June 2024, the couple officially tied the knot in Culpo’s home state of Rhode Island.

The former Miss Universe received harsh criticism following her nuptials over her wedding dress choice, which McCaffrey came to the defense of on social media at the time, calling one critic’s take “evil.”
In an August interview with Fox News Digital, Culpo spoke out against the online “trolls.”
“I feel like trolls [are] people who are so upset with their lives that they have to spread hate,” she said. “Really, that’s what it comes down to. You have to keep that in mind and feel bad for them.”
“It’s hard when you’re on the receiving end of someone who wants to make you feel really bad,” Culpo continued. “We have to imagine the head space that that person is. And when you really think about it, that’s sad. That’s sad for them.”
“They have to live with themselves. You just have to look at it, and then you get to walk away. But they’re stuck with themselves, so it’s sad. I really do hope that there’s a world where that doesn’t exist, because it’s really just an indication of that person suffering a lot.”
