Green Bay Packers Quarterback Jordan Love and Ronika Stone Are Expecting a Child Together
While Green Bay fans have been sweating over injury reports, concussion protocols, and playoff seeding all week, QB1 has been keeping a much bigger development under wraps. It turns out the most significant play of Jordan Love’s season isn’t happening on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field—it’s happening at home.
On Thursday, amidst a flurry of roster moves and injury updates, Love and his wife, professional volleyball star Ronika Stone Love, rang in 2026 with the ultimate mic drop on Instagram.
New Year, New Addition
The couple shared a heartfelt post featuring photos from a maternity shoot with the simple, effective caption: “New year, new addition 🤍.” The baby is due in Spring 2026, which is perfect timing for the NFL calendar. It means Love will likely be trading playbook study for diaper-changing tutorials right around OTAs.
The athletic genes in this family are going to be ridiculous. Ronika isn’t just “the quarterback’s wife”; she’s a legitimate force on the court, having just come off an All-Star season with the San Diego Mojo. Between Jordan’s arm and Ronika’s spike, this kid is going to have a better vertical leap than most linebackers by the age of three.
The power couple tied the knot back in June 2025 in Tuscany, and now they’re ready to become a trio.
Resting Up For the Real Show
While the personal news is joyous, the football reality is still looming. The timing of the announcement actually coincides with some strategic rest for the Packers. Green Bay has already locked up the No. 7 seed in the NFC, rendering this weekend’s regular-season finale against the Vikings essentially a glorified exhibition match.
Because the game won’t impact their playoff positioning, the team is playing it safe with their franchise arm. Love has officially cleared concussion protocol after that scary helmet-to-helmet hit against the Bears last week, but Coach LaFleur isn’t taking any chances. Why risk the postseason for a game that doesn’t move the needle?
What This Means For Sunday
Love gets to rest up, let the head heal completely, and probably start assembling a crib. It’s been a rollercoaster week for No. 10, going from an injury exit to a life-changing announcement. The Packers are hoping that impending “dad strength” translates to a deep playoff run. One thing is for sure: regardless of what happens in the Wild Card round, 2026 is already shaping up to be Love’s best year yet.
