George Kittle Gets 'Jealous' Over Wife Claire's Actor Crush

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle humorously revealed feelings of jealousy when his wife, Claire, discussed her celebrity crushes on a recent podcast episode. The conversation occurred during an appearance on "The Kittle Things" podcast, which also featured 49ers quarterback Mac Jones.

When the topic turned to Mount Rushmore-style lists of celebrity crushes, George Kittle stated that his wife occupied all four spots on his list. However, Jones prompted Claire to name her own crushes, encouraging her to make George jealous. "I'm so jealous. I'm very insecure about this," George Kittle remarked with a laugh.

Claire Kittle then shared her list, which included actors Channing Tatum and Robert Downey Jr., citing his role as Iron Man. She also indicated an admiration for Michael B. Jordan. George Kittle responded with playful banter, expressing dissatisfaction with the conversation about his wife's other celebrity affections.

"Well, obviously. No, that's a given. I think I talk about him enough," Claire responded when asked if George himself was on her list. When Michael B. Jordan's name came up, she added, "Yeah, I like Michael B. Jordan." George Kittle responded, "I don't like this segment anymore," eliciting laughter from himself and Jones.

Though the exchange was lighthearted, Claire Kittle's admiration for Michael B. Jordan was evident. The New York Giants, Jordan's favorite football team, are scheduled to play the San Francisco 49ers on December 6, a game George Kittle might be particularly motivated to win.
