Claire Kittle is all about the 49ers today, but her past is tied to the Packers.
In a message shared Tuesday on Instagram, the wife of 49ers tight end George Kittle opened up about what football means to her ahead of Saturday’s divisional-round showdown between San Francisco and Green Bay.

Claire posted a photo of herself Tuesday wearing a Packers T-shirt as a child. Instagram“Next stop ✈️🏈 The Frozen Tundra,” Claire began. “My family is filled with diehard Packer fans. We were brought up in a home where football Sundays always meant a full house and chilli on the stove. Some of my fondest childhood memories were created during the Favre era & Lambeau was practically a national monument to us kids.”
Claire added that while the “Midwest is where [she] learned to love football,” she “fell in love” with the sport in San Francisco.
Claire has supported the 49ers both at home and on the road during the 2021 season. Instagram
The Kittles have been married since 2019. Instagram“The person I care for most in this world gets to live his dream each day. He gets to wear #85 in red & gold. He gets to play for the San Francisco 49ers,” Claire said of Kittle, her husband of nearly three years.
“I know many of you were raised to be super fans too and that’s why we love it here. This is a big one & we’re pretty damn excited,” she added.
