San Francisco 49ers‘ Kyle Juszczyk is often seen hyping up his designer wife, Kristin. Last year was a monumental year for the designer after her custom-made jackets themed on NFL teams and players went viral. Taylor Swift was seen wearing a Travis Kelce-themed jacket made by the designer, after which her popularity skyrocketed. But, this season has started on a different note.

Fox News reported recently, “Designer Kristin Juszczyk, wife of 49ers fullback, says she had to shut down a request from Kamala Harris.” Fans were going into a frenzy about what had happened. But Kristin explained everything in a series of Instagram stories. Requesting her fans to read the complete headline, she wrote, “Please don’t just read headlines.” Calling out the media giant for confusing everyone with such a headline, she further wrote, “It’s hilarious how news outlets create a completely misleading headline to push their own agenda.”

For those of you who are still wondering, let’s explain. Last year, Kristin’s fame was spreading like wildfire. VP Kamala Harris requested Kristin for a 49ers’ custom jacket through her agent. However, she was so busy with her deals that she had to deny the request. The designer claimed she had no other option as she didn’t have anyone to help her sew the jackets. Seems like a fair reason.

What’s interesting is her motive behind starting a custom jacket business. Bored with the limited jackets available to support her spouse, she channeled her creativity to design a few. It was liked by fans and created waves on social media. So much so that she signed a licensing deal with the NFL to use their logos in her jackets. And the rest is history.

While she has clarified her stance on the news, let’s check out what’s happening with her husband at the 49ers.

Kyle Juszczyk’s pay cut to stay at 49ers

While Kristin is climbing up the ladder of success, her husband suffered a financial setback early in the offseason. GM John Lynch gave the fullback 2 options; either accept a $1.8 million pay cut or leave the team. Associated with the franchise for the last 7 years, he accepted the financial loss out of the love he has developed for the eam. Alternatively, he might have chosen to stay because of their strong claims of the Super Bowl, which they missed by a whisker last year.

While discussing the scenario, Kyle Juszczyk revealed that the Niners are giving him the best opportunity in his career. Expressing his happiness at his role in the team, he added, “My ego took some shots, but at the end of the day, I want to be on a team that all these superstars are getting paid more money because that means they did something great the year before. I feel a part of that.” This year might prove decisive in his choice; and we’ll have answers soon.

The fans only hope to win the Lombardi Trophy in the upcoming season. The locker room has bonded well in the training camp and would be pumped up to get on the field.
