SI Swimsuit would like to wish a very happy birthday to Claire Kittle<\/a>! Our February 2026 digital cover model, who was photographed by Katherine Goguen on Captiva Island, Fla<\/a>., turns 32 today. <\/p>\n

Last weekend, Kittle celebrated her big day early, as her husband, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, threw his lady a lovely birthday bash as the Tailgate Beach Club celebrated its grand opening at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 16. And since the festivities featured Claire clad in swimwear, we thought it the perfect occasion to take a look back at her moment in the spotlight with SI Swimsuit earlier this year. <\/p>\n

The content creator and former collegiate basketball player traveled to the Sunshine State for her brand debut, which also resulted in Christen Goff<\/a>, Brittany Mahomes<\/a>, Haley Cavinder<\/a>, Ronika Love<\/a> and Normani<\/a> landing their own digital covers. And while each of the six women have their own incredible, flourishing careers, they do share one title in particular: they are the significant others of professional football players. <\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, at the end of the day, [WAG] is just a shortened word to describe a group of people, right? I think all of us do a good job representing ourselves, representing our husbands and representing the NFL in general,\u201d Kittle said <\/a>at the time. \u201cI think that\u2019s really how you change the narrative around something: leading by example. Words can mean whatever, but you have to take action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kittle has certainly done so\u2014she founded the HOSS Tailgate Tour last September, and the following month, Kittle and fellow 49ers WAG Kristin Juszczyk created the Wife\u2019d Up, Mic\u2019d Up series on YouTube.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m most proud of is that I started a brand called \u2018HOSS,\u2019 which stands for \u2018The House of Sport and Sisterhood,\u2019\u201d Kittle told SI Swimsuit <\/a>earlier this year. \u201cAnd with that, I traveled around to a couple of different football games, hosted tailgates and brought women together to meet and hang out, share stories, contact info, make friends and then go to the game together.\u201d<\/p>\n

As she celebrates another trip around the sun, we\u2019re taking the opportunity to review a few of our favorite snapshots from Kittle\u2019s time on the SI Swimsuit set in Florida earlier this year. Plus, find her complete gallery of images here<\/a>\u2014it may be Kittle\u2019s birthday, but these poses are the gift that keeps on giving!<\/p>\n
