“Idk, ask my wife..” This is the new motto for a 49ers wide receiver now. And what a motto it is, too. Wedding bells are ringing loud this NFL offseason. From Haley Cavinder’s recent engagement to Jake Ferguson, to DK Metcalf and Romani announcing their engagement in March. Adding to this list of happy couples now are Brandon Aiyuk and his wife Rochelle Searight, with their wedding behind them on April 13th. Folks, the king now has a queen; bow down.
Rochelle had once said, “You deserve ultimate happiness & I will do everything in my power to make sure that happens.” And that’s exactly what she did. The couple only recently celebrated their relationship anniversary (April 10th) with a throwback to their college romance days. And just a few days later, they tied the knot. In Rochelle’s own words, “Our unbreakable relationship is the culmination of our love.🤍” These aren’t just words. Being married to Brandon, celebrating their relationship, Rochelle is having the time of her life, reliving her special day.
She has been posting fun and beautiful moments from their wedding nonstop over the past week. Her latest Instagram post is a carousel with the caption, “I need an excuse to post my last batch of wedding photos, so happy 1 week of marriage 😀😂” and what a carousel of emotions it is too. From pictures of Brandon and Rochelle dancing to sharing candid moments with the guests, to the two of them flaunting their rings to the camera, this post has it all. It even has a pic of Brandon flexing his new “I do” bling with pictures of the couple within it. He’s surely gonna love wearing it around his neck.

Brandon had torn his ACL and MCL back in October, and this was a cause for concern among the fans. But with this short clip, fans are now excited to see Brandon on a steady path to recovery. According to ACL / MCL healing timelines, which are approximately 9 months, Brandon has a good chance for a full recovery just before the new season kicks into high gear.
