Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, recently celebrated a significant milestone in his personal life by marrying Jenna Brandt, his longtime partner and a former collegiate volleyball standout. The couple exchanged vows on March 9, 2024, in their home state of Iowa, marking a joyous occasion after Purdy’s challenging season plagued by injuries. He initially proposed to Brandt in July 2023, sharing the joyful news on Instagram, where he described their relationship as making life “easy” and joyfully noted that she said “yes” multiple times.
Surrounded by friends, family, and former teammates, the ceremony was a proud moment for both Purdy and Brandt, who have supported each other through their respective athletic journeys. Just a year after their wedding, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Millie Joleen, in July 2025.
Brandt herself has an impressive athletic background. She was a standout setter at Iowa State University before transferring to the University of Northern Iowa, where she played a critical role in the volleyball team’s success and earned accolades such as all-tournament recognition. Graduating in 2022, she reflected on her time with the UNI volleyball program as a “dream come true” that profoundly impacted her life.
The couple first met at Iowa State, where Purdy was making strides as a quarterback while Brandt excelled on the volleyball court. Their relationship has thrived amid Purdy’s rise from being the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, known as “Mr. Irrelevant,” to becoming a key player for the 49ers. Brandt has been a constant presence at 49ers games, standing by Purdy as he led the team to an NFC Championship Game appearance in 2022 and a Super Bowl run in the following season.
As newlyweds and new parents, Purdy and Brandt are now facing the challenges of a competitive NFL season. The 49ers are currently navigating a tough 2025 season, holding a 7-4 record and competing fiercely in a challenging NFC West division against the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, where every game has pivotal playoff implications. Despite the scrutiny and challenges accompanying their lives in the public eye, Purdy and Brandt stand united, balancing their professional and personal endeavors with resilience and support for one another.
