The 49ers are missing out on Super Bowl 2022, but some members of the San Francisco family will be cheering on a few Bengals close to their hearts come game day.
Claire Kittle, the wife of 49ers tight end George Kittle, celebrated pal Sarah Taylor on Monday, hours after her husband, Bengals receiver Trent Taylor, punched his ticket to the Super Bowl.
“At least one of us is going to the Super Bowl Team TT all day,” Claire wrote on her Instagram Story, appearing to capture a FaceTime call with Sarah.
“If anyone deserves it it’s these two,” Claire added in a separate post.
Sarah, a mental performance coach, has been married to Taylor since 2020. Taylor was drafted in the fifth round by the 49ers in 2017 and signed with the Bengals last year.
Following the Bengals’ overtime win against the Chiefs in Sunday’s AFC Championship, Sarah lauded Taylor on Instagram.
“Hard to describe the feeling of watching someone you love live their dream. I’ve watched this man battle some of the toughest times with such poise and grace. He’s the same regardless if things are going his way or not,” she wrote. “Nothing thrills me more than to be on this journey with you @trent5taylor & I can’t wait to keep watching you shine.”
Taylor replied to his wife’s heartfelt message, “Moment I’ll never forget. Love you sugar.”
The Bengals will face the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 13.
