The San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle needed just 33 yards on Monday, December 30, 2024, to secure his fourth career season with at least 1,000 receiving yards.
Highlights
- Kittle reached a significant milestone with 1,079 receiving yards on the year, marking his fourth career season with over 1,000 yards.
- George is married to Claire Little on April 9, 2019. They share one puppy named Deenie.
- His wife, Claire Kittle, revealed that she struggled with an ectopic pregnancy.
While Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce leads all NFL tight ends with seven 1,000-yard seasons, Kittle joins an elite group tied for second place.
Last week, Kittle revealed that his annual goals include 10 touchdowns, 1,000 receiving yards, and 75 catches. Heading into Monday’s game, the All-Pro tight end had 8 touchdowns, 967 receiving yards, and 68 receptions.
Kittle shared,
“Any time you can get any of those, and you can achieve those goals, regardless what’s happening in the season, that’s always a good thing, “I would much rather be winning football games, but to have that as a cherry on top is awesome.”And just, the more seasons that you can stack up like that, the more fun things you can do down the road.”

George Kittle’s Wife, Claire Kittle, Learned Her Pregnancy Was Ectopic
Football tight end George Kittle met Claire Kittle during his first year at the University of Iowa and have been inseparable since they married on April 9, 2019.
The couple eloped after engaging in 2018 and now live in Nashville, Tennessee, during the NFL offseason.
Claire played basketball at Wahlert Catholic High School, becoming the school’s third-leading scorer and a McDonald’s All-American nominee.
She played for the Hawkeyes all four years at the University of Iowa, averaging 1.6 points and 1.9 rebounds per game.
Unfortunately, a recurring knee injury ended her career during her senior year of college.
Claire ran a personal training business while she and George lived in Iowa City.
In 2018, she entered her first bikini fitness competition, training for 19 weeks and ultimately losing 20 pounds for the show.
George’s wife, Claire, loves to throw parties. In July 2023, they hosted KittleFest at their home in Nashville.
According to an Instagram post, the small backyard music festival included performances by Jelly Roll, Tyler Rich, and Whelan Stone.
Claire threw George a 30th birthday party in California a few months later.
She decorated their home with her husband’s favorite things, including sneakers, superheroes, and video games.
Earlier, on February 14, 2023, Claire revealed that she had an ectopic pregnancy in an Instagram post. She wrote,
“On Christmas morning George and I took a pregnancy test while the rest of our family waited to open presents downstairs,” . “We were about to see the greatest gift, a positive test.”

She included photos of her and George kissing before a Christmas tree, a snap of her positive pregnancy test, and a video of George telling their family they were expecting.
In the caption, Claire noted that she learned that the pregnancy was ectopic during a doctor’s appointment weeks later. She wrote,
“Fast forward to Jan 10th I had a routine ultrasound putting me right around 7.5 weeks pregnant. The nurse giving my ultra sound went silent for awhile and I asked ‘I’m still early there’s probably nothing to see yet right?’ ” “She responded with ‘I see a pregnancy here it’s just not in the correct place, it’s ectopic…’ I felt my soul leave my body as I knew exactly what that meant.”

It is a serious condition where a fertilized egg grows outside the uterus. That was a risky condition, and hence, emergency surgery was needed.
She recalled deciding to go into surgery that night and ended the post by recognizing her husband and family. Claire wrote,
“We leaned on each other like we never have before,” “Im thankful my mom, dad and Georges parents were all here to help us.”
