San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and Jenna Brandt are married!

The couple tied the knot in Des Moines, Iowa, on March 9, 2024.

Purdy and Brandt first met as students at Iowa State University, where he played football and she was a setter on the volleyball team. Brandt ultimately transferred to the University of Northern Iowa in 2021, but by July 2023, the two were engaged.

Brandt has been Purdy's biggest cheerleader — even after he was dubbed "Mr. Irrelevant" as the last pick of the 2022 NFL draft. Purdy proved everyone wrong after the 49ers' starting quarterbacks, Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, both suffered injuries. During his first career start, Purdy defeated superstar Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The next season, the quarterback ultimately led the 49ers to the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas. When the Niners clinched their spot in the coveted game, Brandt congratulated her Purdy on the field. "The BEST feeling. God is good - all the time," she captioned a photo and video of the pair embracing after the win.

Brandt was there to cheer on Purdy during his first-ever Super Bowl appearance, though the 49ers were ultimately defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime.

Brandt was born on Oct. 26, 1999, and grew up in Sumner, Iowa, with her parents, Kevin and Amy Brandt, as well as her three siblings — Kaylyn, Isaiah and Morgan.

She attended Sumner-Fredericksburg High School, where she played on the volleyball team all four years and was a two-time team captain. Brandt also competed in track and field and played on a club volleyball team.

At the start of her senior year, she committed to Iowa State University's volleyball team and graduated from high school in 2018.

She's very close with her family

Brandt comes from a tight-knit family, who can often be seen making appearances on her Instagram account. She says spending time with her parents and siblings is one of her favorite things to do, and even shared that her siblings were a big part of why she chose to attend Iowa State.

"Family time is big to me. I love hanging out with my family," Brandt said in an introductory video for her Iowa State team, adding, "I also like to volunteer around the community."

After graduating high school, Brandt headed to Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, where she declared a major in Kinesiology. That same year, Purdy also committed to Iowa State, making the pair freshmen simultaneously. While the couple hasn't revealed exactly how they met, it's likely that they first crossed paths while on campus.

She was a competitive volleyball player throughout college

Brandt continued her volleyball career throughout college as a setter for the Iowa State Cyclones. During her freshman year, she also tried out for the U.S. Collegiate National Team and the USA Women's Volleyball National Team fold. She went on to play with the Cyclones for three seasons, including a trip to South America to compete against international teams.

Then in late 2020, Brandt announced her plans to transfer to the University of Northern Iowa, writing on Instagram that she was thankful for the "opportunities, experiences and friendships" she made at Iowa State. Looking forward, she shared that she was "pumped to join the Panther family."

In 2022, Brandt wrapped up her collegiate volleyball career, calling it a "dream come true to wear" the UNI jersey and thanking the university for the "life changing experience."

She and Purdy made their relationship Instagram official in November 2022

Although Brandt and Purdy had made some social media appearances together during the summer of 2022, they didn't make things Instagram official until November of that year. In a post on Brandt's account, she shared a series of photos featuring Purdy and her family spending time on a farm.

Brandt captioned the slideshow, "my roots and my boy," while Purdy chimed in the comment section to call Brandt "my girl."

As a fellow athlete, Brandt has been incredibly supportive of Purdy's football career. She has been spotted at several 49ers games — including the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas — completely decked out in team merchandise.

"Always cheering you on, babes," Brandt captioned a photo on Instagram in October 2023 of her and Purdy hugging on the sidelines. In the comments, he replied: "My girl ❤️."

She and Purdy got engaged in July 2023

Purdy proposed on a dock in Saint Cloud, Florida.

"My Jenna girl forever. I can’t wait to be your husband and grow together in Christ. Here’s to forever babe. I love you JB!" the quarterback captioned a series of engagement photos on Instagram.

In a separate Instagram post, Brandt wrote, "WE GET TO DO LIFE TOGETHER…FOREVER! Brock Purdy - I love everything about you & your heart for Jesus more than any words can say."

The celebrating continued as the wedding got closer. In February 2024, Brandt shared photos from another party on her Instagram Story, where she posed in front of a balloon backdrop in a white dress. She reposted a photo from Purdy's sister with a caption that said, "Mrs. Purdy in 3 weeks 💍."
