Back in Week 7 of the 2024 season, Brandon Aiyuk went down with a torn MCL and ACL. It was a brutal blow—and just like that, his season was over. Since then, fans have been holding their breath, waiting to hear when he’ll be back.

According to injury expert and physical therapist Jeff Mueller, the average recovery time for an ACL/MCL tear is around 9 to 10 months. So yeah, there’s a strong chance Aiyuk could make his return by Week 1 of the 2025 season. And if his recent moves are any indication, it looks like he’s already stepping into a fresh chapter.

Saturday was one for the books for Brandon Aiyuk. Just days earlier, on April 10, his longtime girlfriend Rochelle Searight shared a sweet photo of the two on Instagram, celebrating their anniversary with the caption, “April is our month.” Turns out she meant it—because on April 12, after seven years of dating, the couple tied the knot.

The San Francisco 49ers‘ official Instagram account shared a beautiful snap of the newlyweds, writing, “Congrats to the Aiyuks” with red and gold heart emojis. In the featured post, Aiyuk looked sharp in a black-and-white tux, while Rochelle was stunning in a shimmering white gown. The floral backdrop, the love in the air – it was picture perfect.

In addition, plenty of familiar NFL faces showed up to celebrate the big day. George Kittle reposted the team’s photo on his story, quietly showing love to his teammate. Jayden Daniels, who’s facing a tough time after losing his friend Kyren Lacy, also showed his love for the WR. The QB has known Aiyuk since their Arizona State days in 2019 and was also spotted at the ceremony in a black suit.

Other teammates like Ji’Ayir Brown, Ricky Pearsall, and Kyle Juszczyk were there, too. Juszczyk even dropped a series of photos from the celebration and gave his man a heartfelt shoutout: “Congratulations to my brotha @brandonaiyuk!!” While the vibe was mostly full of love and good energy, Juszczyk’s wife did catch a few comments online about her outfit choice.

Kristin Juszczyk wasn’t trying to steal the spotlight—she was simply there to celebrate love. She and her husband, 49ers star Kyle Juszczyk, were among the guests at Brandon Aiyuk’s wedding to his longtime love, Rochelle Searight. The ceremony was beautiful, the vibes were sweet, and everything was picture-perfect. But then… the internet did what it does.

Kristin shared a few photos from the wedding on her Instagram stories—some fun shots of the bride and the girls. That’s when people started talking. Why? Because of her dress.

While most women wore black and the bride was in white, Kristin showed up in a light satin dress. Some fans thought it was too close to white and began leaving hateful comments. But the fashion designer has had enough.

Indeed, Kristin was there to support love. She didn’t break any rules. She didn’t steal any thunder. Just a guest, cheering on two people, Brandon Aiyuk and Rochelle Searight, who’ve been together since their teens.
