Who are Brandon Aiyuk's parents?

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is in his third season in the NFL. Beyond his on-field identity, one of the most popular searches on the internet is for his parents.

Swaminathan Aiyar is said to be Brandon Aiyuk's father, while his mother's name is unconfirmed.

He is quite discreet about his personal affairs and rarely discusses his parents. On his social media accounts, he hasn't posted any images or comments about them too. As for his brothers and other relatives, he has revealed relatively little info as well.

However, we know that his mother is a huge supporter of the 49ers. It appears that Brandon is the only child of his parents.

The wideout shared a picture below of himself sporting a San Francisco 49ers jersey at four. This came immediately after being selected by the team at No. 25 overall in the draft.

After hearing his name called in the 2020 NFL Draft, Aiyuk hopped on a Zoom teleconference with journalists and provided the picture's context.

Brandon Aiyuk stated:

"My mom has always been a great 49ers fan, so it kind of bled on me a little bit when I was younger."

Aiyuk has proven to be street-smart as well. He discussed his clever strategy to convince his parents to increase his allowance when he was a child on the 49ers' You've Got Mail podcast.

Brandon Aiyuk stated:

"My parents gave me $5 and I received $25 for the week. Therefore, it was roughly $5 each day. You cannot buy lunch for $5 per day in California. I simply asked my parents when I went to them. Every day when I got home, I would act like I was starving. I needed at least $7 to $8 per day because I could not get by on $5. Because I knew I wanted $7 to $8, I said $9."
