The San Francisco 49ers had a good season, with a 12-5 record in the NFC West and getting into the playoffs. Stars like Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams, and George Kittle among others led the team to become a formidable side.
They were knocked out in the Divisional Round by eventual winners the Seattle Seahawks with an embarrassing score of 41-6. Now, the players are enjoying the offseason with their spouses and children. However, Williams has sparked backlash after a recent action of his has gone viral on social media.
Trent Williams arrives at NFL Honors with girlfriend Paloma
The annual NFL Honors event was held in the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco. The league’s brightest talents attended the event, which was about celebrating them. Williams was also there, being one of the most dominant offensive lineman this season. His contributions allowed the 49ers to rank high in team offensive stats, ranked fifth in passing yards with 4,157.

But it wasn’t the players contributions that got him attention that night. Instead, it was who he attended the event with. His partner was popular Instagram and TikTok model Paloma Adams. They arrived hand-in-hand, with the woman wearing a sleek black gown which complemented Williams outfit perfectly. The two are said to be dating since October 2022.
This shocked many as he did not go with Sondra Williams, who is the mother of his three daughters Micah, MaKayla, and Madison. She gave birth to a stillborn son which devastated both of them. In reality, the two had been separated since 2019, and their divorce was only finalized in December, 2025.
The two have been together for many years, and been through so many hurdles together. It surprised many that Williams will leave her like that and start a relationship with a new woman. Williams’ future at the 49ers is also uncertain.
49ers explore giving extension to Trent Williams
Williams will be in free agency after his current contract with the 49ers expires in 2026. They are now thinking of offering an extension to the player but have doubts about it. Currently being 37-years-old, he is only going to fade in his performances and the franchise must consider that.
They may give him the extension due to salary cap reasons. The player is going to carry a $38.8 million cap this year, and is the largest for any offensive tackle in the league. If they give him an extension, it gives them extra flexibility with their cap space as they can restructure the previous unpaid $16 million bonuses with him.
Williams himself is not at all badly performing, and may be of service for a couple more years. It makes sense for both parties to agree to extend his stay in San Francisco.
Trent Williams will be focusing on next season, whether that is with the 49ers or another franchise.
