Those who are interested in football, 100% know who Colin Kaepernick is. His professional career as a quarterback began in 2011 when he became a part of the San Francisco 49ers. He had been successfully playing for the team for seven years, helping them reach the NFL Championship Games as well as leading the team to their first Super Bowl.
He is also known as the first sportsman who protested during the national anthem throughout the entire season of 2016 because of police brutality in the US. This action actually led to certain troubles in his career and he was almost fired from the NFL.
On top of that, Kaepernick is a civil rights activist, who fights for equality in society against racial injustice.
The athlete managed to build a great professional career but what is known about his personal life, closest people and relatives? Let’s find it out!

His biological mother is named Heidi Russo. She decided to put her son for an adoption as she was just 19 years old and couldn’t care properly for a baby. Having given up Colin to a new family, she moved on with her life, got a degree at the University and started working as a healthcare practitioner. Today, she is a cardiac nurse, who lives in Denver with her husband and three children. She did try to get in touch with her stellar son but he avoided any potential meetings.

Unfortunately, the biological father’s name is not disclosed. It is only known that he left Heidi before she even gave birth to their son.

The adoptive mother’s name is Teresa. During one of the interviews, Colin called her the most caring mom in the whole world. She always did her best to create a nice atmosphere at home, so that her biological and adopted children had nice relationships.

The sports star has two adoptive siblings. The first one is a brother Kyle, who is married to a woman named Lindsay. Nothing is known about his occupation.

The second one is a sister Devon, who is also married and has one son.

From Heidi’s second marriage, there are three halfsiblings. Michael was born in 2003.

One more younger halfbrother is Ethan, who was delivered in 2010.
