Claire Kittle, the wife of San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, has become a star in her own right over the past few years.
Kittle, who played for the Iowa women’s basketball team, created her own brand called HOSS Tailgate Tour. Earlier this year, her brand received a nice boost when she posed for the February digital cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
“I want to say yes to more because I’m really good at saying no,” Kittle said. “This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and being an athlete my entire life, I love something to work towards. A goal. And so it’s just really cool that [SI Swimsuit] even thought of me in the first place.”

Prior to the start of the 2026 season, Kittle went on a “girls trip” to Hawaii. It didn’t take long for her to share vacation content on Instagram.
“When your best friend spends her summers in Hawaii>>>” she wrote for her Instagram caption.
The Kittles are enjoying this NFL season.
Despite not even being a year removed from suffering a torn Achilles in the playoffs, George Kittle has looked fantastic for the 49ers this season.
Through the first three weeks of the season, Kittle has hauled in 12 passes for 174 yards and three touchdowns. After knocking off some rust in Week 1, he quickly rediscovered his All-Pro form.
The 49ers are hoping Kittle has another big game this Sunday against the Broncos.
