Meet Kyle and Kristin Juszczyk: A Harvard grad turned 49ers star and his wife, who designed a jacket for Taylor Swift
Kyle had a first-team All-Pro season. Kristin did the same in her industry.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will garner most of the headlines at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday, but they aren’t the only power couple making waves this season.
Kyle Juszczyk and his wife, Kristin, have built a brand and their own following as well.
Kyle, who played at Harvard University from 2009-2012, is currently a veteran fullback for the San Francisco 49ers. He’s earned eight straight Pro Bowl nominations and was named first-team All-Pro for the first time this year.
He doesn’t always stuff the stat sheet, but he’s one of the most reliable players on the roster and is coming off a game with two catches and a carry against the Lions.

If he makes a key play, don’t be surprised if the broadcast mentions his wife, Kristin, who has gained popularity in the fashion world with her stylish game-day fits. She takes team merchandise and repurposes it in a unique and flashy manner.
Kristin got her big break when Swift sported one of her custom jackets to support Kelce during a playoff game in January. In the weeks since, Kristin’s Instagram following has increased by nearly 500,000.
“Just appreciation,” Kyle said at the time. “Just so stoked for her because I know how hard she’s worked, how hard she grinded. To see Taylor wearing it and it looked incredible. It was just awesome. We were just so happy in our house.”

Olivia Culpo, fiancée of 49ers star Christian McCaffrey, and Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, have both worn her products as well. Taylor Lautner donned a custom Lions jacket at a game, and Deebo Samuel, Simone Biles, and Klay Thompson, among others, have tried their own, too.
Kristin created a Super Bowl vest and is donating the proceeds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. As of Friday, according to The New York Times, the highest bid is at $32,8000.
