Earlier this month, Brock Purdy tied the knot with his fiancée, now Jenna Purdy, in Des Moines, Iowa. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback's lovely wife recently shared photos from the couple's honeymoon in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
"Honeymoon w/ my husband," Jenna captioned on Instagram as part of a series of photos shared this week.
"Best day of our lives," Jenna wrote in a separate Instagram post. "I get to call my best friend my HUSBAND for forever and ever!!!!"
Jenna and Brock began their relationship while attending Iowa State University. Brock played football there before the 49ers selected him as the final overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Brock became the starting quarterback during his rookie season following injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo. This past season, he led the 49ers to the Super Bowl, where they narrowly lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Does 49ers QB Brock Purdy need Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel for success?

Rumors circulated before and during the 2024 NFL Draft about the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers losing one of their top two wide receivers—Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel. Such a scenario could have significantly impacted the team's success in the upcoming season and posed a potential blow for quarterback Brock Purdy, who has thrived alongside the dynamic duo on the field.
However, none of these speculations came to fruition. Both Aiyuk and Samuel remain on the roster, at least for another season, though their future beyond that remains uncertain.
Aiyuk is seeking a contract extension that would position him among the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. At the same time, Samuel already commands a significant salary following a deal rework in 2022.

The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up to elevate quarterback Brock Purdy to their highest-paid player status starting next year. Negotiations for a contract extension with the young signal-caller, entering his third NFL season, are on the horizon.
Purdy's on-field performance has far exceeded his current salary. Last season, he set a single-season franchise record with 4,280 passing yards and led the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance while earning a base salary of $870,000. Even for the upcoming season, his salary will only bump up to $985,000. That may sound like a lot to the ordinary person, but it is only a fraction of the team's salary cap.
However, Purdy's next contract is expected to catapult him into the ranks of the NFL's highest-paid players. That title

On Thursday night, Brock Purdy joined several former San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks at the Dwight Clark Legacy Series event in San Jose. During the event, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, one of the moderators, asked the 24-year-old to rewind a couple of years and reflect on how he burst onto the NFL scene in 2022.
Purdy's first significant playing time came when the 49ers lost two quarterbacks that season—first Trey Lance and then Jimmy Garoppolo. Purdy stepped in for Garoppolo against the Miami Dolphins, unaware that he would be the starter moving forward.
"Jimmy went down, and they're like, 'All right, you're up,'" Purdy shared. "So I'm in tune to what we're doing against Miami's defense and stuff on the sidelines. And so, when they said that I was
