Jordan Love marked a major personal milestone this past weekend by marrying his longtime fiancée, Ronika Stone, at The Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, California. The Green Bay Packers and the NFL extended their congratulations to Love and Stone, recognizing the quarterback’s new chapter on and off the field.
The Packers shared the news on Instagram alongside celebrations for teammates Sean Clifford and Isaiah McDuffie, commenting,
“Packers family got a little bigger this offseason.”
Former Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari posted a video showing the couple dancing while teasing Aaron Rodgers about his own private marriage. Edge rusher Lukas Van Ness also joined the celebration, sharing an Instagram story where he toasted, “Cheers to love.”
Jordan Love and Ronika Stone began dating in 2020. Stone, a professional volleyball player, is also the daughter of former NFL guard Ron Stone. The couple announced their engagement earlier this year in 2024. During the offseason, Love provided some details about the wedding preparations:
“Ronika’s been really involved with handling all the stuff. I’ve been weighing in on some of the things, some of the different areas. I’m sure a couple weeks out it might pick up, get a little more hectic with it right around the corner. It’s been awesome.”

Expectations for Jordan Love and the Packers Ahead of the 2025 Season
Jordan Love’s wedding is only one part of a significant transition, as he is also preparing for his third NFL season as the Green Bay Packers’ full-time starting quarterback. In addition to his marriage, Love signed a four-year, $220 million contract extension with Green Bay this offseason, which sets high expectations for his performance and leadership.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer offered a candid assessment of Love’s position entering the 2025 campaign. Breer highlighted that Love is now the centerpiece of the team both on the field and in his role as a leader, noting:
“It’s Jordan Love time. Only one offensive player on the roster (guard Elgton Jenkins), and three players in total, predate the quarterback’s time with the team. He’s on a top-of-market deal, so the onus is on him to start lifting his teammates rather than the other way around.”
“The roster’s still solid, but competitions at left tackle and receiver will help set the course for how far the team can go, and Love’s work through any bumps at those spots will be key.”

Love admitted in preseason interviews that his contract negotiations had influenced their wedding plans, describing the balance between his professional and personal commitments. The Packers will open their 2025 season against the Detroit Lions on September 7, with kickoff scheduled for 4:25 PM ET (3:25 PM CT) on CBS.
Significance of Jordan Love’s New Life Phase and Team Outlook
Jordan Love’s marriage to Ronika Stone symbolizes a personal milestone as he steps under intense scrutiny as the Green Bay Packers’ lead quarterback. The blend of his expanded contractual responsibilities and the incoming season places Love under considerable pressure to perform and lead his young team. With roster changes and emerging competition at key positions, the Packers’ success may increasingly hinge on Love’s development and his ability to guide his teammates.
This newly married quarterback now faces a pivotal year where the outcomes on the field could define his tenure and the direction of the franchise, making his performance a central storyline for Packers fans and NFL observers alike as the 2025 season approaches.
