George and Claire Kittle provide valuable insights for fellow NFL couple Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift on maintaining a strong and healthy relationship amidst public scrutiny and media attention.
Before the premiere of Netflix’s “Receiver,” the San Francisco 49ers tight end and his wife emphasized the importance of two simple elements for a successful relationship, especially in the demanding environment of the NFL.
“Talking as much as you can. Communication is key!” stated George.
Claire, his wife of five years, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the vital role of communication.
Establishing a Communication Routine
The Kittles follow a nightly ritual that they believe could benefit couples like Swift and Kelce.
“Something Claire suggested, which we’ve done for a while, is every night before bed, always say ‘I love you’ to each other,” shared Kittle with PEOPLE magazine.
“Regardless of any disagreements or frustrations, it’s a great way to end the day.”
Claire humorously added her take on this practice.
“That’s what I’d say! Well done,” she quipped.
Kelce and Swift have successfully managed their hectic schedules, supporting each other despite their busy lives. Swift notably flew from her Eras performances in Tokyo to Las Vegas to cheer on Kelce during Super Bowl LVIII in February, with Kelce reciprocating by attending many of her concerts.
Claire acknowledged the attention that comes with being part of an NFL power couple and emphasized that amidst the world’s chaos, maintaining a strong relationship is paramount.
