George Kittle is soaking up his final days of summer break before reporting to the San Francisco 49ers training camp this week. But right before heading back to Santa Clara, George and his wife, Claire, traveled to New Jersey for the massive FIFA World Cup Final. They got to watch Spain lock down an absolute thriller, defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra time.
Claire kept the good vibes going way after the game ended. She jumped on social media to share a really cool, laid-back picture from their trip. It was a double-date shot with their close friends.

Claire penned on the story, “More to share from this weekend but the highlight was time with our people. To think we’ve been making memories together for almost a decade now is really cool. Thankful for you both and the gift that this weekend was spent together. Next up Niners and Preds seasons!!”
She tagged both her and George’s handles and closed it out with three heart-hand emojis.
Claire has built a massive following of her own through her Kittle Things podcast, her HOSS Tailgate Tour, and a stunning feature as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit digital cover model in February 2026. The fashion community is still talking about herstunning look at Miami Swim Week.
It is a massive full-circle moment for a couple who first met as fellow athletes at Iowa before tying the knot in 2019. While they do not have kids yet, traveling and unwinding with close friends like the Forsbergs has become a regular part of their routine.
George unfortunatelytore his right Achilles during January’s Wild Card victory over the Eagles. That injury cut short his highly productive 2025 run, where he managed 57 receptions for 628 yards and seven touchdowns.
General Manager John Lynch has mentioned he is optimistic Kittle can return for Week 1, and that highly anticipated comeback officially begins as training camp kicks off.
