While Kyle Juszczyk prepares for his 14th NFL season with the San Francisco 49ers, his wife Kristin Juszczyk continues making headlines away from football.
Her latest appearance at the 2026 ESPY Awards turned into a standout moment, and it even caught the attention of WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, who quickly reacted to Kristin’s latest “side quest.”
Kyle Juszczyk’s Wife Kristin’s Venture at the 2026 ESPY Awards Caught WWE Star’s Attention
The fashion designer and entrepreneur stepped into a different spotlight by hosting the 2026 ESPY Awards Red Carpet broadcast. Kristin handled interviews and welcomed celebrities throughout the evening at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City.
Soon afterward, she shared several behind-the-scenes moments and highlights from the night on Instagram, giving fans a closer look at her latest venture.
“New side quest activated! Hosted the ESPYS red carpet last night with @elleusa !! Truly had the best time ever!! One thing about me…I love a mic 🤣,” she captioned the post.

Naturally, her supporting husband, Kyle Juszczyk, celebrated in the comments. “A natural with a mic in your hand!” he commented.

Then Bella also joined Juszczyk in the comments, showing her support by dropping three fire emojis under the post.
The reaction carried extra meaning considering Bella’s decorated wrestling career. She is a WWE Hall of Famer, media personality, and two-time WWE Divas Champion who still owns the record for the longest single Divas Championship reign at 301 days.
However, this interaction hardly came as a surprise because Kristin and Bella have built a close friendship through fashion, regular outings around New York City, and constant support for each other’s careers.

Bella has repeatedly backed Kristin’s growing fashion brand, often filling the comments section with encouraging messages and red heart emojis whenever new designs or collections make their debut.
Now, the ESPYs were not Kristin’s first experience behind a microphone. She also worked as a co-host of the YouTube series “Wife’d Up, Mic’d Up.”
Then there is Kristin’s fashion career, which is also commendable. Over the past few years, she has transformed her custom game-day designs into a thriving business that attracts some of the biggest names like Taylor Swift, Simone Biles, and Caitlin Clark.
She also formed a close bond with Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, and designed a custom puffer jacket for her.
In January 2025, alongside entrepreneur Emma Grede, Kristin launched her own fashion label, Off Season. The brand brings her signature DIY-inspired style to officially licensed NFL, NBA, WNBA, and Formula One apparel.
The brand has expanded its reach even further by partnering with Team USA on a special collection ahead of the Milano Cortina Olympics, adding another milestone to its growing portfolio.
