The 28-year-old San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who is playing in Super Bowl LVII against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, February 2, was selected by the New England Patriots during the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Acting as Tom Brady’s backup QB for three seasons – and winning two Super Bowls – Garoppolo was traded to the 49ers in October 2017.
Speaking about 42-year-old Brady in July 2018, he told Bleacher Report, “I was just looking at it, and I knew I could do it without any question. I didn’t want to ask too many questions. I didn’t want to make a complaint. You’ve got to do a little politics.”
According to Garoppolo, while the two were “together” for the most part, the QBs were competitive with each other.
“There will come a day when one of us will win, and we won’t speak to each other for a while. We’ll get over it the next day, but it was one of the best things for me. We’ll push each other, and in the end, we’ll get two Super Bowls out of it,” he told the sports outlet. “
The competitiveness between the two of us was very similar. If I’m playing the role of my best friend in a game of one-on-one basketball, if we’re both in it, we’ll end up hating each other.

He went on to say, “All good competitors have this. We stayed together, but there were always moments when we wanted to beat each other. It was a healthy, competitive relationship.”
According to Bleacher Report, when asked about getting dating tips from Brady, who married supermodel Gisele Bündchen, Garoppolo smiled.
He said, “I can’t tell you this.” “It’s extremely confidential.”
As for Garoppolo’s love life, here’s what we know:
Romance with Alexandra King:
Garoppolo first made headlines in February 2018 when he was linked to model Alexandra King, who he referred to as his “Valentine” on Instagram. The following month, they were spotted holding hands in Disneyland. The last time this couple was seen together was in late June 2018, sharing a kiss in San Jose, California. When asked about their relationship by Bleacher Report, Garoppolo mentioned having a girlfriend was “news to me.”
Dating Kiara Mia:
Garoppolo generated buzz in July 2018 when he was seen with a`t film star Kiara Mia, just three weeks after his last sighting with King. Mia told TMZ at the time, “Jimmy and I had an amazing dinner, and he treated me with so much respect and class. Honestly, we’re friends.” “I can promise the 49ers that he’s going to make a great Super Bowl appearance because everything I touch turns to gold.” Garoppolo called the situation a “learning experience” from his end.
Social Media Attention:
Garoppolo talked about the scrutiny of social media to Bleacher Report, saying, “You don’t even know if it’s a real person.” “They just show that they’re not. … Comments are the weirdest part. DMs are even crazier.”
Single by Choice:
In July 2018, the quarterback spoke about his private life with reporters, saying, “Life is different now.” “I’m not there a ton.”
Not Settling Down:
“Most of the time, he’s always been single. It’s always been my joke, he doesn’t have a girlfriend, he has all of them,” Garoppolo’s childhood friend Neil Zwaan told Mercury News in January 2020. “His focus is on football, not trying to settle down.”
