In a year that has felt truly ripped from storybooks, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has added another chapter to his improbable saga – getting married to his longtime girlfriend Jenna Brandt. Brock Purdy’s rise from the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft to leading the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl has captivated fans.

Behind this Cinderella story lies the unsung heroes – the close-knit Brandt family from Sumner, Iowa. The real MVPs in Purdy’s life aren’t just the icons he’s toppled, like Tom Brady. It’s the values instilled by the Brandts – a family rooted in community, and hard work on and off the field.

It was that mindset that likely drew the Iowan to Purdy when they first met as students at Iowa State University. While she starred on the volleyball court, he was beginning his journey toward football stardom. Their relationship was solidified through shared adversities

While the spotlight shines on Purdy’s meteoric success, it’s his wife Jenna’s upbringing among her parents and siblings that provided the stable foundation for the quarterback’s journey. As fans look for the secret to the Mr. Irrelevant-turned-49ers savior’s fairytale season, the Brandts may just hold the answer.

The quiet strength of Brock Prudy’s in-laws

In the tiny town of Sumner, Iowa, a family of devout Christians has nurtured a quiet strength that defies the fame and glamour of the limelight. Jenna Brandt’s parents, Kevin and Amy, have raised their four children–Jenna, Kaylyn, Isaiah, and Morgan–with a steadfast commitment to values that is beyond individual glory, instilling in them the ideals of community and selflessness.

While Jenna’s on-field accomplishments as a multi-sport athlete at Sumner-Fredericksburg High School have garnered attention, it is the family’s unwavering dedication to privacy that truly sets them apart. Jenna herself has refrained from sharing pictures of her parents on social media, with her mother maintaining a hidden profile and her father, whose handle “farmer.kevin.brandt” hints at a potential interest or occupation in farming, abstaining from public posts.
