The Juszczyks might have the most incredible love story.

The 49ers Faithful — and entire NFL world, really — has grown to adore the relationship between 49ers veteran fullback Kyle Juszczyk and his wife and beloved sportswear designer, Kristin.

The couple has had several adorable viral pregame, postgame and in-game moments over the years, including showing off their unique handshake or Kyle finding Kristin in the stands after scoring a touchdown.

But how did the lovebirds meet? The Juszczyks recalled the incredible story on a recent podcast crossover with George and Claire Kittle, “Kittle Things and Wife’d Up, Mic’d Up.”

“I had just transferred to Towson University. We’re going to bring Uncle John into this. Everyone has an Uncle John, I feel like,” Kristin said. “My cousin was going to a nearby college. [Uncle John] got tickets to go see the [Baltimore] Ravens. I had never been to an NFL game before. My cousin didn’t want to go, so he texted me like, ‘Do you want to come to the game?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, of course, why not? I’ve never been.’ They were playing the [Carolina] Panthers. You guys were whooping ass. So we got nosebleed seats, but they were whooping ass, so everyone left. It was like a 30-point difference.

“So Uncle John was like, ‘Let’s go behind the bench. Let’s go down there!’ So we go behind the bench and long story short, I saw Kyle on the field and thought he was very handsome. And I had a pamphlet because it was my first ever NFL game, so I was taking everything they were giving to me. I was looking through the pamphlet and I was like, ‘Oh my God, he’s only 23! He went to Harvard? OK, check.’ And then I went to Aunt Lisa — as a joke — like, ‘I’m going to marry that guy one day.’ I swear to God.”

Little did Kristin know she would be manifesting her reality.

But before the two eventually tied the knot in 2019, there was a bit of a cat-and-mouse game being played over social media.

“A few weeks later, I told my friends about it and they were like, ‘Just request him on Facebook,’ because this was before Instagram was big. And then Kyle started liking my pictures from like five years ago.”

Kyle revealed he wasn’t just liking any of Kristin’s photos, but specifically the ones of just her. If her friends or family were in a photo, it didn’t earn a like from Kyle.

He wanted to make it clear that he was only focused on her.

Still, the stubborn professional athlete never took it further than a photo like.

“He never messaged me! He was just being a creeper and liking my pictures,” Kristin shared. “A week goes by and I got a little liquid courage and I said, ‘Hey, what are the chances I’ll bump into you downtown?’ “

As Kyle remembered, the Ravens, the team he spent his first four NFL seasons with, had a game that week. So he responded to Kristin, informing her of just that, stating the chances were “not very good this weekend,” but that he’d love to go to dinner sometime.

So the two met at a restaurant, and Kristin recalled being “so nervous” because she was just 20 years old at the time.

But the nerves quickly went away as the two instantly hit it off.

“We literally closed down the restaurant,” Kyle said. “We were there for like three and a half hours. Neither of us were willing to get up and go pee, even though we both had to go so bad. So after three and a half hours, we were like, “OK, they’re closing the restaurant, we should probably go pee before we leave.’ “

The couple agreed they had “the best time” at dinner and “just knew right away” they were meant to be.

And the rest is history.

Hey, shoutout to Uncle John.
