Sports Illustrated model Olivia Culpo has recalled how she was nervous to meet National Football League star Christian McCaffrey.

On Thursday, she Instagrammed a couple of pictures to celebrate three years of togetherness with McCaffrey (right) and wrote: “Three years ago I was not looking for a relationship. When my best friends Kristen & Tyler called me and asked if I would be open to meeting their friend Christian I was apprehensive. I was worried it would be the same old story all over again and that all guys were the same. While my expectations were low, I knew I couldn’t close myself off and make decisions based on fear.”
