The girlfriend of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has suggested he is heading to Levi’s Stadium after their Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 49ers came up short Sunday in their bid to win a Super Bowl for the first time in nearly 30 years, with the Chiefs pulling out a dramatic 25-22 victory in the final three seconds of overtime.

After such a devastating fall at the final hurdle, San Francisco now faces a major challenge: regroup and advance again in the 2024 season.

And according to Aiyuk’s girlfriend Rochelle Searight, they may have to make do without their star wide receiver.

The day after their loss to Kansas City in Las Vegas, Searight – who has been dating Aiyuk since their college days – took to TikTok to drop a major hint that they are about to leave San Francisco.

Now Searight, pictured with Aiyuk and their three-year-old son Braylon, has hinted that her boyfriend could be leaving Levi’s Stadium.

“This might be the last day we enter Levi’s Stadium, me and Brandon,” she said. “Because we might not be here next season.”

Aiyuk will not be a free agent this offseason after the Niners picked up the 25-year-old’s fifth-year option last April, meaning he would have to be traded in order to leave Levi’s Stadium.

If he stays, Aiyuk would be in line for an annual salary of $14 million.

The California-born star dropped a cryptic message to his Instagram account after the heartbreak of Sunday’s Super Bowl, writing on Instagram, “Don’t forget what got you there,” along with eyeball emojis.

Aiyuk has had four seasons with the Niners after being drafted as a first-round pick in 2020.

Since then, he has proven to be a key member of their offense, rushing for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns in four seasons — including a career-best 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023.

Still, one of the wideout’s closest friends has suggested that his apparent desire to leave San Francisco is based on his lack of service at the Super Bowl, where he had just three catches that night.

“This is exactly why we are leaving San Francisco,” Draysean Hudson wrote on Instagram about good friend Aiyuk. “Thank you 49ers for drafting my brother, we are forever grateful.”

He then hinted at where Aiyuk could end up next season, saying, “BA to Vegas.”

Hudson also wrote, “Why does your All Pro 1300 yard receiver have 3 catches in the Super Bowl??”

Aiyuk has seven months to weigh his future and push through every possible move in the offseason, which Searight said will be a stressful time for both after the Super Bowl loss.

She said in another post on TikTok, “Guess what our job is now? The low season has arrived, we are waiting for them hand and foot.

“I just lost in the Super Bowl, we’re going to have mood swings and a lot of anger can be taken out on us. But just don’t take it personally, you can’t take it personally.’
