Brock Purdy and Jenna Brandt: A Journey through the Timeline of their Relationship
Discover the captivating timeline of the relationship between San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and Jenna Brandt, spanning from July 2022 to October 2023, filled with love, milestones, and unforgettable moments
Jenna Brandt has always seen Brock Purdy as anything but "Mr. Irrelevant."
Despite being tagged with the less-than-flattering nickname when he was chosen as the final pick of the 2022 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers, Purdy proved his worth as he took on the role of starting quarterback for the team after both Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo were sidelined with injuries during the season.
In December 2022, Purdy achieved the milestone of becoming the first quarterback to defeat Tom Brady in his debut start, leading the 49ers to a 35-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Meanwhile, Brandt was in attendance at Levi’s Stadium for the game.
"Cheering you on, BP," she wrote as the caption for a series of affectionate snapshots on Instagram at the time. In the comments, the athlete replied, "Love you J️."
Purdy and Brandt apparently crossed paths at Iowa State University, where they were both freshmen in 2018. Purdy, originally from Arizona, and Brandt, a native of Iowa, played volleyball for the Cyclones. In December 2020, Brandt announced her transfer to the University of Northern Iowa to complete her collegiate career and undergraduate education. Meanwhile, Purdy completed four seasons at Iowa State and officially declared his intention to enter the NFL draft in January 2022.
