Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love had big shoes to fill after Aaron Rodgers’ 2023 departure — but his girlfriend, Ronika Stone, has always had his back.
“He’s a ten without the jersey too 🤪,” Stone captioned a series of snaps with Love during the 2022 season, cheekily referring to his jersey number and his sexy physique.
Stone, who is a professional volleyball player, has been part of Love’s NFL journey since shortly after he was drafted in April 2020. When Rodgers was traded by the Packers in April 2023, Stone was on hand to celebrate her boyfriend’s promotion to starting quarterback.
“Play time over, this the big league,” Stone wrote via Instagram in August 2023, alongside two photos from her partner’s first game leading the squad. “#1 fan🖤,” Love replied in the comments.
