‘Forget Taylor,’ their fans say. Meet best-known wives and girlfriends of the 49ers

The wives and girlfriends of San Francisco 49ers players are a glamorous, high-profile group of women, including a former Miss Universe, a psychiatrist and several social influencers who happily share what life as an NFL WAG is all about.

And in this small world of wives and girlfriends, several have direct and indirect ties to the most famous of the Kansas City Chiefs’ WAGs — Taylor Swift — and her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

In fact, Swift boosted one of the 49ers wives to national fame last month.

As the 49ers prepare to avenge their 2020 Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs, here’s a quick look at some of the women who will be cheering for the California team on Feb. 11.

Kristin Juszczyk

Thanks to Swift, life for the wife of 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk will never be the same, no matter who wins the Super Bowl.

Fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk, who taught herself how to sew, landed in the national spotlight after Swift wore one of her custom coats to the frigid Chiefs-Dolphins game in January, an oversized puffy red jacket made from one of Kelce’s No. 87 jerseys.

What happened next after she was featured in multiple news stories: Juszczyk signed an official licensing deal with the NFL allowing her to use NFL logos on men’s and women’s apparel.

Juszczyk, married to the footballer since 2019, is one of the more prolific social media users among the team’s WAGs. She has nearly 900,000 followers now on Instagram.

In August, she and fellow 49ers wife Claire Kittle and three other NFL WAGs shared pictures of their preseason trip to Turks and Caicos.

Actress Olivia Culpo, engaged to 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, is one of Juszczyk’s biggest cheerleaders. She modeled a custom bustier by Juszczyk at the 49ers-Packers playoff game.

“That was fun thank you @kristinjuszczyk for the amazing fit,” Culpo wrote on Instagram, where she posted several pictures of the outfit.

Olivia Culpo

Fun fact about Culpo: The model and former pageant queen used to date Nick Jonas and appeared in the video for his 2014 single “Jealous.”

She has been engaged to McCaffrey since April.

With 5.4 million Instagram followers, Culpo became famous when she won the Miss Universe pageant in 2012.

Her movie credits include “The Other Woman,” “I Feel Pretty” and most recently last year’s thriller “Clawfoot.” On TV she starred in the reality show “Model Squad” and the drama “Paradise City.”

In 2020 she was featured on the cover of the Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

A theme that quickly popped up among 49ers fans after their team got into the Super Bowl: Move over Taylor Swift, we’ve got Olivia Culpo.

Claire Kittle

Claire Kittle met her husband, tight end George Kittle, during their freshman year at the University of Iowa in 2012. He played football, she played women’s basketball.

She told ESPN in 2019 that he stopped her on campus to compliment her pink motorcycle helmet.

The 49ers drafted him in 2017, the year after they both graduated.

After punting their original plans and eloping, they celebrated heir second wedding anniversary in 2021 with an elaborate ceremony in Nashville.

In November, George Kittle was named to Forbes magazine’s “30 Under 30” sports notables list for his work co-founding Tight End University with — lookie there — Kelce and retired Carolina Panther Greg Olsen.

Mahogany Jones

Mahogany Jones has reportedly dated wide receiver Deebo Samuel since the 49ers drafted him in 2019. She has a mathematics degree from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and also ran a clothing company, Shades of Mohagany.

Now, she’s a model and influencer, sharing snippets of her life and her daily outfit choices with nearly 275,000 followers on Instagram. The couple’s son makes frequent appearances in her posts, often photographed on the sidelines wishing his dad good luck before games.

Lauren Maenner

Model and public relations specialist Lauren Maenner has dated defensive lineman Nick Bosa for more than a year, but they’ve kept the details of their relationship mostly private.

She did, however, post photos from the NFC Championship Game that put the team in the Super Bowl. They were rare photos of them hugging and kissing in public.

Mindy Armstead

The wife of star defensive tackle Arik Armstead is a psychiatrist and mother of two with 536,000 Instagram followers.

Mindy Armstead told the “Today” show that “it’s not easy” keeping their lives on track, like last year when her husband broke his leg, upending their daily lives — “not the most glamorous side of the NFL,” she said.

“No one else can understand that pressure to be kind of this emotional powerhouse and support system for your significant other,” she said of her fellow WAGs.

“I think we really band together, and you end up making super-fast friends because of that. We’re all part of this team. We’re anxious and worried, and we’re thinking about, ‘Are things taken care of at home so that they can focus on the game?’”

She and her husband launched The Armstead Academic Project, an educational program for low-income, at-risk children in the Sacramento and Bay areas.

She recalled the last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl four years ago in an Instagram post relishing the rematch.

“Forget Taylor,” one follower wrote on the post. “I think watching your little fam bam’s support is the cutest.”

Paloma Adams

Social media influencer Paloma Adams has dated offensive lineman Trent Williams since at least October 2022, when she revealed their relationship in a TikTok video with the hashtags #NFLGirlfriend and #Boyfriendreveal.

Fun fact about her: She used to date former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Peyton Barber.

The Spelman College graduate from Atlanta — Palomasynclaire on Instagram — joins Williams in his ritual of eating McDonald’s before every game. “That’s me and Trent’s superstition,” she told the “Today” show.

She is good friends with Mindy Armstead and Kayla Nicole, Kelce’s last girlfriend before Swift. Adams was seen with Nicole at the 49ers-Eagles game in December.
