Purdy and Brandt welcomed their first baby, a daughter named Millie, in July 2025
Brock Purdy has begun another NFL season with the San Francisco 49ers, with his wife Jenna Brandt cheering for him.
The couple was once a student at Iowa State University, but he played soccer and she was on the volleyball team. Blunt later transferred to the University of Iowa, but by July 2023 they were engaged. Purdy and Blunt got married less than a year in March 2024 in Des Moines, Iowa.
Brandt was Purdy’s biggest cheerleader, even after being called “Mr. Inlerevant” as the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Purdy proved everyone wrong when he started for the 49ers and defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers along with Tom Brady. The following season, the quarterback led the 49ers to the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Brandt congratulated Purdy on the field when the Niners decided their place in the coveted game. “The best feeling. God is good – always,” she captioned the pair’s photos and videos she accepted after the victory.
The pair are now in a parent-child relationship. In July 2025, Purdy and Brandt announced they had welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Millie Joleen Purdy.
