George Kittle talked about his wife Claire’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit digital cover debut. The magazine unveiled the February 2026 edition of its special digital cover on Thursday featuring partners of NFL stars.
Kittle opened up about his wife’s debut in the magazine in an exclusive interview with Sports Illustrated. He talked about her pictures and also about one “negative” thing.
“The only negative is that it came out at 5 AM this time, so we woke up to look at it, which I was excited for,” he said.”It was a blast. She had an opportunity, and now she’s just crushing it. People are like, ‘Oh wow, Claire is cooler than you.’ I’ve been saying this for ten years, my wife is cooler than me, and now you guys are finally starting to believe it.”
