The San Francisco 49ers might be in offseason mode, but one of their stars had a major win away from the field. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk tied the knot with longtime partner Rochelle Searight on April 12 in a gorgeous, tree-lined ceremony that brought out close friends, family, and a few familiar NFL faces.
49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk’s wife, Kristin, shared one of the first public reactions to the intimate event.
Kristin Juszczyk Sends Love With a Simple Instagram Message
While the couple kept many of the wedding details under wraps, it didn’t take long for the NFL world to catch on. Kristin Juszczyk — known for her vibrant fashion game and steady support of her husband Kyle — shared a three-word Instagram story on Sunday that said it all: “Congratulations you two!”
Short. Sweet. Straight to the heart.
The post was one of the first reactions to their wedding that fans got, and it wasn’t long before social media began filling up with snippets of guests, laughter, music, and subtle elegance.
Searight, a cosmetologist and influencer, looked stunning in an off-shoulder white gown, while Aiyuk smiled through it all — just months removed from a devastating injury.
Before the lights of Levi’s Stadium, before the draft-day call in 2020, there was Arizona State. That’s where Aiyuk and Searight first met and where their journey quietly began.
Now, four years after moving to California together, the couple finally said “I do” in a picturesque outdoor setting. The ceremony was private, the energy electric, and the vibes were unmistakably joyful.
One of the standout moments? Aiyuk, recovering from a brutal ACL and MCL tear, walked down the aisle in a white tuxedo — hand in hand with his four-year-old son, Braylon, who was dressed to match. The father-son duo made a stylish entrance, and so did the guests.
Former ASU teammate and current Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels showed up in a sleek black suit and shades, channeling Hollywood energy like it was second nature. Instead of flower petals, Aiyuk’s boys showered him with airborne dollar bills as hip-hop blared through the air. The moment was pure celebration.
A Much-Needed Moment Amid Aiyuk’s Rehab Journey
Injury rehab isn’t easy, especially when it follows a contract extension worth $120 million. Aiyuk’s 2024 campaign ended prematurely on Oct. 20 after he took a brutal hit from Kansas City Chiefs safety Chamarri Conner. The play resulted in a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee, and surgery followed just three weeks later. While his return timetable remains uncertain, the 49ers wideout has stayed connected with the team throughout his rehab.

The wedding offered a brief — and much-needed — break from the grind. It reminded fans and teammates that while careers can stall, life off the field can still carry its own championship moments.
