Congratulations Pouring In For Former NFL Star Colin Kaepernick
Colin Kaepernick hasn't received an NFL contract for the 2025 season, but congratulations are in order for the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback.
Prior to his fallout in 2016, Kaepernick had a fairly successful run with the 49ers. He led the franchise to a Super Bowl appearance during the 2012 season and set a single-game record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in his postseason debut against the Green Bay Packers. The former second-round pick from Nevada finished his NFL career with 12,271 passing yards, 2,300 rushing yards and 85 total touchdowns.
Off the field, Kaepernick has been with radio personality Nessa Diab since 2015. They welcomed their first child together in August of 2022.
"I thought long and hard about sharing our life changing news today. I decided to do so because today is the first day in a few weeks where I stepped out for work with a new life title—MOM," Diab wrote on Instagram. "Colin and I welcomed our amazing baby to the world a few weeks ago and we are over the moon with our growing family."
Earlier this week, Diab shocked the world when she revealed that she's been married to Kaepernick for a few years. NFL fans were unaware of that.
That being said, NFL fans are wishing Kaepernick and Diab all the best.
"Congrats! Former 49ers star QB Colin Kaepernick got married to his longtime girlfriend, TV host Nessa. The beautiful couple have been together for over 10 years now and have one child together. Colin still trains every day to make his NFL return," content creator Dov Kleiman wrote on X.
"Congratulations to the Kaepernick's," one fan said.
"Congrats," a second fan wrote. "Now how about a contract with the UFL?"
"Good for him," a social media user commented.
Diab soft-launched her marriage in July when she said this in an Instagram video: "I'm not Colin's girlfriend or roommate or whatever — I'm his wife."
Now that all the rumors have been put to rest, Diab and Kaepernick can enjoy married life in peace.

Alexander Isak transfer twist as Liverpool learn new Newcastle stance
Newcastle have made a final decision on Alexander Isak's future in a potential huge blow to Liverpool's transfer plans. The Premier League champions are reportedly preparing a second bid for Isak, having seen an opening offer worth £110million rejected by Newcastle earlier this are pressing ahead with attempts to sign new strikers this month amid uncertainty over Isak's future. Standard Sport understands talks over signing Yoane Wissa have been revived, and there is interest in a deal for Nicolas Jackson. But The Telegraph report on Saturday that Newcastle have now told Isak that he will not be sold this summer, in what is being described as a show of defiance from the club's Saudi owners. Isak has reacted angrily to the stance as he continues to push for a move to Liverpool, having decided earlier this year that he will leave the club this summer. The striker has been exiled from the squad, with less than a week until the new season starts. Speaking on Friday night, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said of Isak: 'We've had discussions and it's clear at the moment that we can't involve him with the group. "I don't know how long that will be for, but that's the latest. I'd want Alex to be playing today, I'd want him training tomorrow. We would love the player to be with us. Let me make that absolutely clear. There's no part of me that doesn't want that outcome, but I don't see the current situation changing for [first game of the season at] Aston Villa.' Isak has three years remaining on his contract, so Newcastle are under no financial pressure to sell. The report adds that Newcastle believe Isak has been badly advised and have denied the suggestion of a gentleman's agreement over a summer move. It remains to be seen if Liverpool push ahead with an expected second bid, and could be encouraged by Isak's determination to leave and fury at his current club's stance.
