Brock Purdy may have been dubbed “Mr. Irrelevant” once, but his college sweetheart Jenna Brandt has always been his biggest cheerleader. He is now the NFL’s seventh-highest-paid quarterback, and Jenna continues to cheer him on in his fourth season in the league, now also joined by their daughter, Millie Joleen Purdy.
When Did Brock Purdy Get Married?
Purdy and Jenna got engaged in July 2023. They tied the knot in March 2024. The couple, who have been together since college, welcomed their daughter, Millie Joleen Purdy, in July 2025.
Jenna was born on Oct. 26, 1999, and grew up in Sumner, Iowa, with her parents, Kevin and Amy Brandt, and 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.
Purdy and Brandt first met while attending Iowa State University, where they were both freshmen in 2019. Jenna continued her volleyball career as a setter for the Iowa State Cyclones before transferring to the University of Northern Iowa in 2021. Despite the change, the couple maintained a long-distance relationship and made it work, staying connected throughout college.
They went official on Instagram in late 2022 when Jenna shared a series of photos featuring Purdy and her family spending time on a farm. She captioned the slideshow, “my roots and my boy,” while Purdy chimed in the comment section to call her “my girl.”
Much like his quick and decisive decisions on the field, Purdy wasted no time securing his future with Mrs. Purdy and proposed to Jenna on a dock in Saint Cloud, Fla in July 2023.
“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 post, Jenna 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.”
They exchanged vows in Des Moines last year, celebrating their love surrounded by family and close friends. Jenna walked down the aisle in a stunning strapless, mermaid-style wedding gown, while 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy looked sharp in a classic black tuxedo.
In July 2025, the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Millie Joleen Purdy. Sharing the joyful news on social media, they wrote, “Millie Joleen Purdy…life just became a whole lot sweeter.“
The announcement offered a glimpse into the couple’s happiness as they embrace parenthood, marking the next exciting chapter in their life together.
49ers Players’ Outlooks for Week 7
Here’s what PFSN’s Kyle Soppe wrote on the notable 49ers players’ fantasy outlooks for the Week 7 matchup against the Falcons:
Mac Jones
I don’t want to say that the clock struck midnight on Mac Jones over the weekend because he still threw for 347 yards against the Buccaneers, but he didn’t account for a touchdown, threw a pair of picks, and lost 51 yards via six sacks.
I can’t really put all the blame at his feet; he’s working with a backup cast and doing the best he can, but when Jake Tonges is consistently a featured part of your attack, there’s some downside to consider.
What Jones could do in this spot intrigues me should he get two valuable pieces back (George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall), though that remains to be seen, and it’s just as likely that Brock Purdy (toe) returns to start for this team.
I love that Jones funneled 24 of 37 targets (64.9%) to his three primary weapons, and that five different players had catches of more than 15 yards. He’s done enough, along with the scheming excellence of Kyle Shanahan, to be worthy of your consideration when he gets a chance, but I’m only going this direction this week if he has more in the way of reinforcements.
Christian McCaffrey
Robinson technically pulled ahead of Christian McCaffrey for RB1 honors through six weeks in terms of PPR PPG.
“Technically pulled ahead.”
The fact that it’s that tight is insane to me. Robinson is averaging 5.8 yards per carry, while McCaffrey is at 3.1 and has not had a rush of more than 15 yards this season. I can’t imagine the rushing numbers getting worse, and the fact that he can improve dramatically is difficult to comprehend.
CMC scored his first rushing touchdown of the season over the weekend against the Buccaneers (he’s scored in four of his past five games) and is pacing for 130 receptions.
We are spoiled to have these two stars sharing a field this week.
George Kittle
The top of the TE board has been brutal this season. Brock Bowers has been banged up, Trey McBride’s QB missed Week 6, and we haven’t seen George Kittle since the opener.
The latter could be rectified this week, as there is cautious optimism that we get San Francisco’s former All-Pro back from the hamstring injury that he suffered after turning 13 routes into 12.5 PPR points in the Week 1 win in Seattle.
Outside of “bad injury vibes” for the 49ers, I can’t imagine a world in which you’re not jumping at the opportunity to reinsert him into your lineup the second he’s deemed active. He set career highs in fantasy points over expectation, red-zone target rate, and PPR points per target in 2021, production levels I’d expect to return sooner rather than later.
Is there risk involved with betting on a tight end who is at less than full strength? Of course, but there’s more risk in betting on the inferior talent that you’ve been replacing him with over the past month-plus, so I’m not wasting time overthinking this one.
For those who celebrate, National Tight End Day occurs one week from Sunday.
Jauan Jennings
Do we really know what a healthy Jauan Jennings looks like?
He’s been battling rib and ankle injuries for a month now, and while he’s taken the field twice over that stretch, he’s produced under a half-yard per route and has been a shell of himself. I’m done guessing.
There are situations where I’ll jump the line and be early, but this isn’t one, given the lingering nature of these ailments. When this roster is whole, are we sure that there is a fantasy-viable role for Jennings to step into?
Ricky Pearsall is going to be tasked with stretching the field, and that opens up the short passing game. That’s good for Jennings’ profile, but with George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey soaking up those looks in bulk, I have Jennings looking at more of a five-target type of role, and that’s a low-end flex at best in a Brock Purdy-led offense.
Injuries could continue to vault Jennings into a reasonable role this week, but the Falcons are the best YAC defense against opposing wide receivers this season. Should Pearsall sit, I’ll end up ranking Jennings and Kendrick Bourne in the same tier, one that sits just outside the top 30 at the position.
