There is a huge shift in the role that Jordan Love has since been seized Aaron Rodgers left Green Bay before the 2023 season. And Love last season? All eyes were on him and he didn’t disappoint anyone. Led the team to a 9-8 record in his first season as a starter, earning him a well-deserved $220 million extension over four years. And it’s the same story: behind every man’s success is a woman.

Jordan Love is no different. In his case, Ronika Stone takes the reins. The Packers Number 10 has not only made a deal that has put him on the same pedestal as Joe Burrow one of the highest-paid QBs in the league. But he also chose this offseason to strengthen his bond with Ronika. Love proposed to his girlfriend, now fiancée, in June during the trips to Italy that don’t feature in the romantic comedy.

But let’s just say there is a rather unusual connection between Love’s fiancé and the Burrow family. Yes! We didn’t want to surprise you, but it’s true. See, the thing is, Ronika is a professional athlete herself. And a standout in her own right. She’s a former University of Oregon volleyball player with a flashy resume.

• Holds the record for highest career hitting percentage (.336) and leads college history with an unmatched 429 block assists.
• She also wrote her name in the record books, ranking third in total blocks (485) and fifth in career points (1,605.5).

Pretty impressive resume, huh? What’s the connection to Joe Burrow and his family? So, what’s the connection to Joe Burrow and his family? Yeah, that. Thanks for your patience. Here you go. On October 3, 2023, Ronika Stone signed with San Diego Pro Volleyball, joining a team in the new Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF). And here’s where things get interesting: Joe Burrow and his parents, Jimmy and Robin Burrow, are founding members of the league. In 2022, the Bengals QB said that he and his family were excited to “support world-class volleyball athletes.”

But Ronika’s NFL connections don’t stop there. Sure, her boyfriend, Jordan Love, is now a quarterback, but the NFL ties run deeper. Her father had his pro-NFL path mapped out before Love was even in the picture.

Jordan Love’s Fiancée Ronika Stone’s Long Tie to the NFL

Like Jordan, Ronika Stone was also born in California. But she has deep soccer roots thanks to her father, Ron Stone. An offensive and right guard, Ron has spent time playing for some major franchises. The Cowboys, Giantsthe Negroesand the Oakland Raiders – you name it, and his name is on it.

Not only that, but he added two more Super Bowl trips with the Cowboys before retiring in 2026. With such a strong football background, it’s no wonder Ronika found a natural connection with Jordan Love.

But it doesn’t end with an ex-pro dad and pro partner. Her brother, RJ, is a linebacker for the Washington State Cougars. I think he’d have no problem getting some guidance. Whether it’s from his dad, Ron, or the franchise QB of the Packers. You can only imagine what it’s like to grow up with that kind of solid pigskin knowledge.

One thing is for sure: If Jordan Love beats the Eagles, Ronika won’t be the only one celebrating. The journey has only just begun. Last season, he was a rookie starter. And now, Love has proposed, gotten a big extension, and the title of franchise QB. He’s ready to deliver!
