Kristin Juszczyk Designs Her Own Success Story While Supporting NFL Star Kyle
San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk and his spouse, Kristin Juszczyk, are devotedly supportive of one another.
Kyle holds an All-Pro title with the San Francisco 49ers, concurrently, Kristin manages her distinct fashion label. Despite her enthusiasm for backing Kyle, Kristin consistently pursued her professional aspirations.
“For women wedded to NFL players who wish to establish their own careers, it often necessitates an independent venture,” Kristin shared with Niners Nation in October 2021. “Many professions don't allow for seasonal employment during football. Furthermore, numerous individuals reside outside of their team's playing city, which complicates career progression for these women.”
The pair, whose initial encounter was in Maryland, moved to California in 2017 following Kyle's transfer from the Baltimore Ravens to the 49ers.

“I could genuinely reflect and ask myself, ‘What path do I desire? Should I pursue real estate? Should I retake this entire course?’” Kristin recounted to Niners Nation. “Licenses are state-specific, meaning I would need to acquire mine anew here.”
Kristin eventually opted to embrace her lifelong passion for sewing, particularly after finding joy in designing distinctive game day apparel to support Kyle. Kristin's inventive creations quickly garnered notice from other NFL significant others, such as Taylor Swift, Brittany Mahomes, and Simone Biles.
“She is undeniably brilliant!” Kyle enthusiastically posted on X (previously Twitter) in January 2024, following reports that Swift sported a Travis Kelce-themed puffer jacket to cheer on her partner at a Kansas City Chiefs match. “The jacket is incredible.”

2014
While Kristin was a student at Towson University in Baltimore, her path intersected with Kyle's during his tenure with the Ravens.
“Our introduction happened on Facebook,” Kristin disclosed during an October 2025 installment of “The Squeeze” podcast. “I had recently transferred institutions, and my uncle John was visiting his child at a proximate university. He possessed Ravens tickets, and [my cousin] declined, prompting him to ask me, ‘Would you like to join?’”
Although Kristin had no prior experience attending a football game, she agreed to her uncle’s invitation to the Ravens vs. Panthers match.
“We were seated behind the bench, and upon seeing Kyle, I thought, ‘My goodness, No. 44 is incredibly attractive,’” she remembered. “I had the program since it was my initial visit. I decided, ‘I’ll take the program. I’ll take all the souvenirs.’”
Kristin promptly reviewed Kyle’s statistics, motivating her to locate him on Facebook upon her return home.
“I sent him a friend request, and he began liking my pictures from several years back; it was evident he was observing my profile. … He was liking numerous photos but never sent me a message.”
Kristin ultimately initiated contact by sending Kyle a direct message, which sparked a private conversation and culminated in him inviting her on a dinner outing.
“Our dinner lasted four hours,” she stated. “I recall departing and thinking, ‘Remarkably, I believe I just encountered my future husband.’”
Kyle and Kristin appeared together on Instagram for the first time a year subsequent to their initial date. “Enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Boston with this gentleman,” she posted in January 2015 during a romantic trip.
May 2017
Kyle asked Kristin to marry him on a seaside location after they had been together for three years.
“WE ARE BETROTHED! It still feels surreal, yet my heart couldn't hold more affection than it does presently,” Kristin shared on Instagram then. “It is an honor to cherish you eternally.”
July 2019
Kyle and Kristin exchanged vows in upstate New York, with prominent 49ers players, such as Matt Breida and Jerick McKinnon, among the guests.
From that point onward, they initiated a distinctive anniversary custom.
“Kyle and I resolved to begin a fresh tradition yesterday evening! On the occasion of our wedding anniversary, we intend to don our bridal gown and tuxedo (for as long as they remain fitting) and contemplate our evolution and transformations since the preceding year,” she posted on Instagram in July 2020. “I adore establishing customs with you, I CHERISH our newest family member, and I relish wearing my wedding dress because only wearing it once seems unjust.”

May 2020
During the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, Kyle and Kristin enlarged their household by adopting Mozzarella, a Vanderbilt Samoyed dog. They have subsequently welcomed a second canine, Pierogi, into their home.
“I spotted these creatures and was immediately captivated. I thought, ‘We must acquire one of these,’” Kyle revealed exclusively to Us Weekly in July 2024. “We commenced brainstorming names and my wife suggested Mozzarella; it was the most straightforward choice of my existence. The moment I heard it, I declared, ‘Regardless of gender, Mozzarella will be the name.’”
Kyle mentioned then that they selected Mozzarella due to Kristin’s family being of Sicilian descent. For Pierogi, their intention was to honor Kyle’s Polish background.
September 2023
Across the 2023-2024 NFL season, Kristin’s attire for game days garnered significant attention in the spectator areas. She showcased puffer jackets, corset blouses, short skirts, and various distinctive garments crafted from Kyle’s jerseys.
“Women desire to wear apparel that makes them feel at ease, and for myself, I endeavor to incorporate silhouettes and forms I typically wear into daily life,” she articulated during a January 2024 discussion with the Bay Area’s KRON4 News. “I consider, ‘How can I emulate this aesthetic within athletic wear?’”
January 2024
Subsequent to Kristin receiving a request to create a puffer coat for Mahomes, who is the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, she impulsively fashioned a complementary design for Swift. (Swift has been romantically involved with Chiefs tight end Kelce since the summer of 2023.) Unexpectedly to Kristin, Swift donned the jacket at the Chiefs’ AFC Wild Card match.
Following numerous media outlets and admirers disseminating footage of the jacket across social platforms, Kyle ensured his wife received due recognition. “Entering in her jacket designed by Kristin Juszczyk,” Kyle remarked on an image of Swift entering Arrowhead stadium.
Once Brittany shared images on her Instagram, Kyle was among the initial responders. “Absolutely phenomenal jackets,” he commented.
January 2024
Kristin appeared to invoke the 49ers' NFC Championship triumph by stitching “Super Bowl BOUND” into the lining of her bespoke jersey puffer jacket sleeves. After the team's win against the Detroit Lions, she and Kyle were photographed on the field alongside George and Claire Kittle, and she also shared an affectionate kiss with her husband in the team's changing room.
February 2024
The pair enjoyed a tender exchange on the sidelines prior to Kyle stepping onto the Super Bowl LVIII field to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas.
June 2024
Kyle and Kristin attended to show their backing for his 49ers colleague Christian McCaffrey at his Rhode Island nuptials with Olivia Culpo. Several weeks thereafter, the Juszczyks lent their presence to support his teammates George Kittle and Deebo Samuel at the unveiling of Netflix’s Receiver documentary.
During the red carpet event, Kyle discussed with Us his experience of witnessing Kristin’s design enterprise thrive.
“It has been utterly phenomenal,” Kyle expressed excitedly in July. “It represents a fulfilled aspiration. I have consistently affirmed her exceptional talent, and it is truly gratifying that others are now recognizing it as well.”
March 2025
Kyle was let go by the 49ers on March 10, following eight seasons with the team. Within hours of this announcement, Kristin responded by posting an image of one of their dogs appearing displeased on her Instagram Story.
“Current sentiment,” she wrote as the caption for the picture, depicting the canine reluctantly sporting a baseball cap.
A few days afterward, Kristin affirmed on Instagram that Kyle’s “chapter is far from concluded” and that their allegiance to the Niners remained “forever steadfast.”
