Olivia Culpo is positively glowing as she shows off her second pregnancy during a sun-soaked getaway to Los Cabos for husband Christian McCaffrey's milestone 30th birthday celebration.

While the trip was technically all about her NFL star husband's big day, Olivia had no trouble stealing the spotlight in a tiny royal blue bikini that put her growing baby bump front and center.

The model looked radiant and relaxed as she and the San Francisco 49ers running back hit the water ... soaking up the sunshine, and embracing full vacation mode during their Mexican escape.

Denver Broncos star Jonathon Cooper went before a judge to address his recent arrest ... with his attorney entering a not guilty plea and requesting a prompt resolution in the case.

Cooper -- who was expressionless in a black shirt and pants -- was present in a Douglas County courtroom on Monday ... where his lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, emphasized the importance of getting the matter taken care of so the linebacker can get back to his day job.

Cooper did not speak during the brief appearance. A motion hearing is set for early next month.

Antonio Freeman caught an 81-yard touchdown from Brett Favre in Super Bowl 31, but as iconic a moment as that was for the retired Packers great, he tells us it wouldn't even come close to watching his own son win a World Cup!

If you weren't aware of the cool connection ... 21-year-old Alex Freeman, a defender, is a member of the Team USA soccer team, which is just days away from playing in the world's biggest and most-watched sporting event.

TMZ Sports talked to Antonio, and asked him how his Super Bowl XXXI win would compare to watching Alex win a WC.

We've got the sweet scoop ... Travis rolled up to an Andy's Frozen Custard in Kansas City, MO Thursday night and ordered the Travis Kelce 87 Concrete frozen custard ... and he stunned the girl who was working the drive-thru when he pulled up to the window.

The employee, who owns Hidden Files Studio clothing brand, tells TMZ ... the Kansas City Chiefs star was super "down to earth and humble" and let employees take pics with him. She says he thanked her manager and expressed gratitude for his fans.

TMZ is zeroing in on the wedding venue for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce .. and now we know they'll be tying the knot in the heart of New York City's busiest borough.

A source with direct knowledge tells us ... the wedding's going down July 3 in the "middle of Manhattan."

As for the venue ... there's a buzz Taylor and Travis will by tying the knot at Madison Square Garden, but no word yet if that's indeed the place. Reality is ... the bride and groom have lots of iconic options for their big day -- Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, the NYC Public Library ... the list goes on.

Taylor and Trav are, obviously, doing all they can to keep their choice top secret, because our source says she's been reaching out to her guests over text with more info ... though it's unclear if formal invites were ever sent out.

TMZ broke the story ... Taylor hopped on the phone and personally called her famous friends to save the date, but did not, initially, provide details on location.

As we first told you ... Karlie Kloss and Benson Boone have both scored coveted spots on the guest list, but Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh, might not be so lucky.

O.J. Simpson's longtime attorney is ripping into Tanya Brown, blasting her idea to cancel The Juice's famous No. 32 NFL jersey as "weak-minded" and "flawed."

In fact, "weak-minded" was exactly how O.J. viewed Tanya when he was still alive ... O.J.'s estate executor Malcolm LaVergne tells TMZ.

LaVergne says O.J. felt Nicole Brown Simpson's sister didn't have much of a career, which made him sad for her.

Tanya floated the idea of the NFL benching O.J.'s No. 32 jersey earlier this week, when she spoke to TMZ ahead of the June 12 anniversary of Nicole and Ron Goldman's 1994 murders. Tanya says the number remains deeply tied to trauma for lots of folks connected to the case.

LaVergne says Tanya trying to cancel the jersey number O.J. wore for 11 years in the NFL as a star running back with the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers is just utterly ridiculous.

We caught up with the athlete-turned-TV star out in NYC, fresh off the news of Mr. Unlimited's retirement and move to CBS Sports ... and he's confident Wilson will THRIVE in his new gig -- 'cause he's already seen what he can do.

Burleson said Wilson's so talented on camera, he could have gone to any network ... so that's why he had to put the full-court press on the former Seahawk when he visited the set last year.

Tanya Brown, the sister of Nicole Brown Simpson, wants the NFL to make a major change ahead of a painful milestone ... bench O.J. Simpson's iconic No. 32 jersey number and turn the focus back to Nicole and Ron Goldman.

Speaking to TMZ ahead of the June 12 anniversary of Nicole and Ron's murders, Tanya says the number remains deeply tied to trauma for many people connected to the case.

"It's also the 32nd year of Nicole and Ron's murders," Tanya tells us. "Every time I see someone on the field with that number, it brings me back and I have trauma."

Russell Wilson is retiring -- the superstar quarterback penned an emotional goodbye to the NFL ... although he won't be going too far from the sport.

The Super Bowl champion made the move official on Wednesday ... days after he inked a deal with CBS Sports as an analyst.

In his retirement post, Wilson reflected on his love for football ... and how his passion turned into obsession.

Brandon Aiyuk is officially a wanted man in Northern California ... after the wide receiver posted video of himself ripping around the streets near the 49ers stadium, leading to a police investigation and a warrant.

TMZ Sports confirmed there is an arrest warrant for misdemeanor speeding out of Santa Clara County.

Stefon Diggs is breaking his silence on that viral spat with Cardi B ... and from his point of view, it wasn't much of a fight at all.

The NFL star wideout was asked about the now-viral video showing him and Cardi in a tense exchange outside a Maryland coffee shop ... and he brushed off the drama, insisting the two are doing just fine.

But when asked if he and Cardi are back together, Diggs didn't exactly give a straight answer ... saying, "That's a beautiful talented mother, and I love her to death. You have to ask her."

The "Madden NFL 27" cover was revealed on Wednesday ... and this year's athlete in the spotlight is Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams -- painted nails and all!!

The video game giant shared the standard and deluxe versions for its latest installment in the franchise ... and they both highlight the 2024 No. 1 overall pick's signature look.

In the standard copy, the cover shows Williams winding up a mid-air throw over the Windy City skyline ... and the deluxe option has him doing his "Iceman" celebration with custom nail art inspired by Chicago, the Bears, and EA Sports.

Not only is Williams the first Bears player to get the nod ... it's safe to say he's the first cover athlete to rock painted nails, too -- which is cool, considering the accessory choice has been criticized in the past for not being "masculine" enough for the leader of a football team.

Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett being teammates isn't all that far-fetched -- the retired NFL superstar just told Pat McAfee he's at least "thinking" about running it back with the Los Angeles Rams after Monday's blockbuster trade.

The former punter shot Donald a text on Tuesday's show ... and his response is quite interesting due to all the speculation surrounding a potential comeback.

According to McAfee, AD said the Garrett addition "for sure got me thinking" about a return ... but added he's 35 and two years removed from the game, so he'd have to "see if that fire can light back up."
