The season where George Kittle has some injury issues, the Niners crumble to a 6-7 record. Coincidence? Maybe. But when Kittle has played for the 49ers, their 63-46 winning record paints a different picture altogether. But that’s not why we are here. Guess that injury bug…or some bug got transferred to his wife Claire as she couldn’t attend her sister’s big night at the Levi’s Stadium.
The 49ers got the dub over the Bears. George cooked! But it was also his sister-in-law Emma, who came in hot after that. She led the annual WON Wellness Night at Levi’s® Stadium, hosting a yoga class, wellness services, and a Q&A. Claire, stuck at home battling a 24-hour bug, posted on her IG story: “Sad I missed you all at Emma’s wellness event! I was battling a 24hr bug… It looked amazing!” A family of all-stars, on and off the field!

Emma also posted snaps from the big night on her ‘gram as she stood on the Niners’ gridiron as she captioned it: “Me and the moon at @levisstadium last night ❤️ Face is still hurting from smiling so much.” This is actually an IT Wellness Event conducted by Women of the Niners (WON) community.
So, you know, the George Kittle connection came in handy for both the parties. Emma got her annual thingy to do, to give back to the community. As for WON, they got a wellness expert to lead a yoga class and engage in Q&A sessions.
A fair deal? Oh, hell yeah. But not so fair enough for Claire, who couldn’t witness her sister but was there to cheer for her husband.

Claire made sure to be there to witness George Kittle in full rhythm!
George Kittle was on fire Sunday, and Claire Kittle made sure to bring the heat herself—fashion-wise, of course. The 49ers security blanket delivered a secure performance against Chicago, catching all six of his targets for a whopping 151 yards and a touchdown.
What’s your perspective on:
Does George Kittle's presence on the field make or break the 49ers' success?
Have an interesting take?
Oh, and let’s not forget the history he made along the way. With just his third catch, Kittle became the third tight end in NFL history to hit 500 receptions and 7,000 receiving yards within his first eight seasons, joining legends like Antonio Gates and Travis Kelce. Talk about keeping good company, huh?
Even Brock Purdy couldn’t help but gush. “He is a baller. You get the ball in his hands, and he can get all the YAC after. He’s just so explosive,” Purdy said. Explosive might be an understatement. Kittle’s 151 yards marked his fifth career game with 150 or more receiving yards, putting him in an elite club alongside Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe and, of course, Kelce.

Claire, meanwhile, brought her own game-day energy, donning a sleek black halter top paired with golden accessories that screamed confidence. Her Instagram post was all about the gold—matching clutch, earrings, necklaces, and heels to represent No. 85. Claire’s outfit wasn’t just a look; it was a vibe. Minimalist yet bold, her style mirrored George’s dominance. It was a spicy end to the sweet victory.
