San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle’s wife, Claire, and 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk’s wife, Kristin, have become popular creators having started their YouTube Show, Wife’d Up, Mic’d Up. It is full of heartfelt, important moments the two go through, along with capturing their lives as WAGs.

After the 49ers’ 36-30 win over the Cardinals, however, fans got a fun look at the nature of the friendship.
“When Claire gets happy, I get abused. She has cute aggression with me,” Kristin shared. Out of happiness, Claire Kittle picked Kristin up and put her down twice, with a big smile on her face.
“Won at home against the Cardinals,” shared Claire. “Three and 0. That was great. It was a little bit ugly in the beginning. First quarter, second quarter. More like midsection was a little ugly, but we pulled it out. It’s a great conference win.”
There was yet another moment when Kristin was a victim of Claire’s excitement. Brock Purdy nearly scored another passing touchdown, but the throw was incomplete. Claire yelled out an expletive, caught Kristin by her shoulders and shook her, while the latter helplessly absorbed all that energy.
Claire Kittle had every reason to be happy. Against the Cardinals, George Kittle gave his 100%. He caught six passes and led the Niners with 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Both of Kittle’s touchdown receptions came at a crucial time for San Francisco, ultimately providing the difference in a game the 49ers won by six points. His first helped the narrow three-point lead the Niners held over the Cardinals in the fourth quarter. The second score came after a penalty on Kittle erased a rushing touchdown from Brock Purdy. The moment became a talking point later on, but everyone was ultimately happy with how Kittle redeemed himself.
With 55 career touchdowns, Kittle has now matched Vernon Davis for fourth place among 49ers players.
Wide receiver Mike Evans was ruled out against the Arizona Cardinals after suffering a rib injury during the second quarter and was carted off the field. Then came the third quarter, when All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams left the field on a cart after suffering a neck injury.
Even though the players dealt with the heartbreaks on the field, in the stands, it was the wives who found comfort in each other’s company. Both Kyle and George joined San Francisco in 2017, so it has been almost a decade since the wives have known each other. The pair have a strong rapport with each other.
Claire and Kristin’s YouTube show is a big hit online. The purpose was to show their lives and the game from a wife’s perspective. Far away in the stands, it gets tough for them sometimes.
One such raw moment was when Kittle tore his ACL in the playoffs last season. Claire can be seen shouting “Get up, George,” while apparently holding back tears. She also cursed in frustration and pain. Kristin was later seen rubbing her back to offer comfort.
Kristin and the rest of the booth took a shot in George’s honor, dedicating the win to him.
“Why we wanted to do this show was really to show you guys the raw authenticity of it,” Kristin told TODAY.com. “There really weren’t that many moments that weren’t in it.”
Perhaps the two friends are in for yet another exciting season, with three victories all in the bag for the 49ers.
