Jimmy Garoppolo is very secretive about his private life. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback has over one million followers on Instagram and 127 posts, but not one of his photos features a partner.

At 43, Garoppolo is still going strong. He was was traded to the 49ers in 2017 and won his first five starts, earning himself a deal worth $105 million. He successfully led his team through the playoffs against the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers, to the finals against the Kansas City Chiefs at the Super Bowl on Sunday. Although the 49ers lost, Garoppolo played well and his 20 completions and 31 passing attempts were more than he had recorded for the previous two postseason games combined.

The public knows about his success with his career, but little is known about his successes or lack of in his private life, apart from an alleged date with porn star Kiara Mia last summer.

She’s called him “sexy as f***” to TMZ Sports, said he’s “phenomenal, he’s talented, he’s born a star,” and even taken credit for the 49ers making it to the Super Bowl, saying, “Did I not say everything I touch turns to gold?” suggesting there could be some truth to the rumors.

In 2018, he was linked to Boston-based model Alexandra King, after she posted pictures with him on Valentines Day and in Disneyland. However, things were never made official, and the relationship seemed to have turned sour, as King wrote “karma” on her Instagram after Garoppolo injured his ACL later that year.

His hesitancy with using social media may be the reason we know so little. He’s previously spoken about suddenly being thrust into the limelight after being overshadowed by Tom Brady for three years while he was with the New England Patriots. 

“Life is different now,” Garoppolo told The Sun. “My life, off the field – I’ve never really been big on being very public with things on social media. I’m not there a ton. But my life’s looked at differently. I’m under a microscope.”

But he’s learnt to deal with all the attention, taking advice form 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan. “It’s a good learning experience. Just have to take it in stride. It is what it is.”

Still, the player hasn’t revealed anything about his romantic life to his fans.
