Nick Bosa has been balancing his recovery with personal milestones off the field.
The 49ers’ star edge rusher is working his way back from soreness in his surgically repaired right knee, with hopes of making his season debut in Week 1 against the Rams in Australia.
Bosa spent much of last season on the sidelines after tearing his ACL during Week 3. During that time, he remained close to his girlfriend, model and influencer Ella Ailiff.
The couple went public with their relationship in late November 2025 and continue to show their connection. Ailiff offered a glimpse into their bond through a recent post on her Instagram Story.
In the image, Ailiff holds a large bouquet of roses, accompanying it with the caption “∞️,” suggesting that her relationship with Bosa is meant to endure.
While there’s no definitive confirmation that Bosa sent the flowers, the timing and context strongly suggest otherwise.
The luxurious gift reflects the couple’s strong bond, and given Bosa’s lucrative contract—a five-year, $170 million extension signed in 2023 that pays him over $23 million this season—the gesture is well within his means.
As Bosa prepares for his return to action, fans can expect to see more of Ailiff cheering him on from the stands, celebrating both his athletic achievements and their shared journey together.
