George Kittle’s wife shocked everyone when SI announced as one of the icons in their latest digital cover. Claire sizzled with an itty-bitty red bikini as she showed off her incredible body on the cover, along with an interesting write-up about the term ‘WAGS.’
Claire has been awfully quiet since her cover picture went viral, but recently came out to talk about her photoshoot for SI and revealed that she always wanted to be part of the work with the magazine and managed to make her dreams come true.

“I finally have a free second after quite possibly the craziest week of my life. I cannot believe I get to say I’m a SI Swimsuit digital cover model! I’ve wanted to be a part of the SI family for as long as I can remember. Timing truly is everything and I wouldn’t want it written any differently. To the SI team, thank you for bringing my name up in conversations and making my dream a reality. I worked my b*tt off for two months to look and feel my absolute best and I’m so proud of that strong girl. Here’s your sign to say ‘yes, why the hell not’ to the pinch me scary opportunities that call- they always turn out to be the most rewarding. I can’t wait til I’m 80 and my granddaughters think I’m an icon,” she wrote. “Confidence is King, Queens ⚡️” Claire Kittle wrote inher Instagram post.

Between the two of them, it looks like George Kittle beat his wife in making it to the cover of Sports Illustrated. Back in college, the tight end made it to the cover of Sports Illustrated for football and it is only right that Claire gets to have her moment now.

Kittle went on to remark that now he can openly admit to people that his wife is definitely “cooler than him” since she got to pose in a swimsuit for Sports Illustrated. George has definitely been Claire’s biggest cheerleader and vice-versa and fans have loved the couple for this.
