Tensions are running high in San Francisco after the 49ers announced plans to release long-tenured fullback Kyle Juszczyk — just ask Claire Kittle.
After it was reported on Monday, March 10 that the Niners intend to cut Juszczyk, 33, Claire, the wife of 49ers tight end George Kittle, voiced her displeasure on social media.
“It will never make sense,” Claire, 30, wrote, via her Instagram Story alongside a photo of her, George, 31, Kyle and his wife, Kristin Juszczyk, from the premiere of Netflix’s Receiver in July 2024. “I thank the Lord for bringing us together in 2017. You boys are everything an organization could dream of, on and off the field. I’m so proud of you.”
Both couples got married in 2019.
Kyle and George both joined the 49ers in 2017 — Kyle after signing with the team after spending the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens, George after being selected by San Francisco in the 5th round of the NFL Draft.
In a separate post via her Instagram Story, Claire shared a picture of the couples on the field after the 49ers won the NFC Championship Game in 2024.
“Just rip our hearts out why don’t you 💔,” she wrote. “8 years a Niner, 12 year vet, 9 consecutive Pro Bowls, 2x All Pro, 2024 49ers Captain.”
George responded to the news of Kyle’s release by sharing a series of photos from throughout their friendship via his Instagram Story.
“Day one juice 💔 🧃,” George wrote alongside a picture of the pair from their first year together with the 49ers. In another post, George called Kyle his “family.”
Kristin, meanwhile, also responded to the news about her husband via her Instagram Story. The fashion mogul, 31, shared a picture of one of the couple’s dogs looking annoyed, while wearing a baseball hat. “Mood,” she captioned the image.

After spending some quality time with Travis Kelce, San Francisco 49ers star Kyle Juszczyk thinks the Chiefs star and Taylor Swift are well-equipped for the long haul. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Juszczyk, 33, made a direct comparison between his teammate Christian McCaffrey — who married Olivia Culpo last month — and Kelce, […]
The day after Kyle’s release was announced, Kristin shared a photo of her legs sprawled out across an entire row of empty seats on a plane. “The world knew,” she wrote.
Kyle has yet to respond directly to his release, but after the 49ers’ season ended in disappointing fashion earlier this year — the team failed to make the playoffs after taking the Kansas City Chiefs to overtime in Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 — Kyle hinted his time in San Francisco might be over but said he had no plans on retiring.
“I know I’m not done,” Kyle told ESPN. “I’m definitely not done playing. I’ve seen zero regression. I think especially, I mean, you can turn on the last two games and please show me where I’ve regressed, so I have no plans of stopping.”
