The 2025 Pro Bowl Games started on Jan. 30, and San Francisco 49ers fans will once again see one of their long-time stars take the field.
Tight end George Kittle happily accepted an invite to play in the Pro Bowl, with the event wrapping up with some more skills challenges and a 7-on-7 flag football game on Sunday, Feb. 2. However, someone who may be happier than Kittle himself about the selection is his wife, Claire, who shared a picture on Instagram of the 49ers’ star celebrating another Pro Bowl selection.
Another Pro Bowl Season for George Kittle
You would be hard-pressed to find someone more excited about the achievement than the 49ers TE’s wife. She posted this picture of her husband with the caption “Pro bowl baby” to celebrate another fantastic season.
Since entering the NFL in 2017, he has established himself as one of the league’s premier tight ends. This marks his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl selection and his sixth appearance in just eight seasons
The Pro Bowl nomination was certainly deserved for Kittle. In 2024, the tight end had one of his best seasons yet, accumulating 1,106 total yards, the most he’s had since 2018 and good for third among all tight ends. This also marked his fourth 1,000-yard season in his illustrious career.
Kittle was near the top of the tight end leaderboard in many other receiving categories, nothing out of the ordinary for him. Kittle was top five in both receptions (73) and touchdowns (eight) a huge factor in him being selected as the starting tight end for the NFC.
With another incredible season under his belt, his wife was there to celebrate her husband’s latest accomplishment, just as she has throughout his career.
The Kittle Power Couple
The Kittle love story began back in 2012 when the couple met at the University of Iowa before they started dating eight months later. The couple got engaged in 2018 and eloped to Nashville, Tenn., then a year later tied the knot. Claire is very vocal in her support of her husband while attending every one of his games no matter if it is at home in San Francisco or on the road.
Claire grew up a basketball player and continued her career into her university years until a series of knee injuries forced her out of the sport. Claire has since shifted her focus towards influencing as a fitness and fashion model across social media, where her following goes far beyond being the wife of a football star.
Throughout George’s career, Claire has been one of his biggest supporters, attending every game, whether in San Francisco or on the road. The two have become one of the NFL’s most popular couples, frequently sharing their love and achievements with their millions of followers.
With another Pro Bowl appearance secured, Claire had yet another reason to celebrate her husband’s success. Soon after the Pro Bowl, the couple will get to enjoy a well-earned offseason together before George shifts his focus back to the 49ers’ Super Bowl aspirations for the 2025 season.
One thing is certain: Whether on the field or off, George will always have Claire cheering him on.
