Olivia Culpo has suffered a "little bit of an identity crisis" since giving birth

Speaking on The Squeeze podcast, Olivia shared: "There's totally a shift.

"Whether or not you want there to be or not, you have somebody that's physically dependent on you. So, I'm not going to sugarcoat it: Yeah, it's scary."

Olivia has been career-focused for many years, and she worries how she'll balance motherhood and her modelling career.

She said: "I'm just kind of a worry wart that way, like I'm very ambitious."

Olivia married Christian in 2024, and she feels fortunate to have such a supportive influence in her life.

The model explained: "I'm so grateful that I have my husband because while I'm totally working and I'm doing everything in my power to keep working and I'm so happy to have the opportunities that I have. Let's say they all went away - would I have the same ability [without his support] 10, 12, 15, 20 years ago to light that fire up my butt when I have somebody who really needs me, which is my baby? No. And I would choose my baby 10 times over obviously."

Olivia admits to relishing the challenges of motherhood.

She said: "It's been so fun.

"Every day is so different and I'm really just trying to sit in because I know it goes by so fast. Everybody says these are the days that go by quicker than you could have ever imagined."

Olivia previously admitted that her pregnancy proved just how much she needs her own mother.

The model - who announced her pregnancy back in March - explained that her mom has been hugely supportive of her over recent months.

Olivia told People: "I feel like I have a lot of respect for my mom and one thing that I realised through this experience of becoming a mom is actually how much I've needed my mom, which I didn't anticipate.

"She's just been so helpful to me, especially in the beginning of my pregnancy. That was really tough. It's just kind of an interesting thing, and I'm just so grateful to her.

"It's just an ironic thought that you need your mom the most when you're about to become a mom. That's just genuinely how I felt."
