Green Bay Packers<\/a> quarterback Jordan Love is expecting his first child with wife Ronika Stone, the couple announced on New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n

Six months after tying the knot in a lavish beach wedding, Jordan and Ronika, both 27, took to Instagram to reveal the next exciting chapter in their love story on the first day of 2026.<\/p>\n

The married couple shared a number of heartwarming photos which shows them\u00a0 touching Ronika’s baby bump, posing with their scans and holding up some of their incoming child’s clothes to unveil the big news.<\/p>\n

‘New year, new addition,’ they captioned the joint post.<\/p>\n

Love started dating Stone – who is a professional volleyball player – shortly after getting drafted by the Packers in 2020.<\/p>\n

She was the first to go public with their romance online after posting a pair of selfies with the NFL star alongside the caption: ‘Have you cleaned your mirror yet?’<\/p>\n

They went Instagram official in May 2021 when Love posted pictures from her brother’s wedding in Lake Tahoe, California. Stone has since been a staple at his football games.<\/p>\n

Love is not the only big-name quarterback set to become a father in 2026, with Buffalo Bills superstar Josh Allen also expecting his first child with wife Hailee Steinfeld.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Buccaneers signal caller Baker Mayfield is also expecting his second child with wife Emily later this year.<\/p>\n

Prior to the pregnancy announcement, Ronika o<\/a>ffered an interesting critique<\/a> of television networks and their coverage of football players’ injuries in a rant on TikTok.<\/p>\n

‘Can we just talk about how unhinged sports networks are when it comes to showing injuries?’ she asked her\u00a0followers in a self-shot video.<\/p>\n

‘If it’s a gruesome injury, worse thing they’ve ever seen in their lives, and it’s just too graphic to show their viewers, they’re not gonna show it again,’ she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Love <\/p>\n

Love and Stone first went public with their romance shortly after they started dating in 2020<\/p>\n

‘But if they’re like, you know, “he only got kind of f***ed up,” they’re gonna play that a thousand times.<\/p>\n

‘My husband plays in the NFL,’ she continued without mentioning her 27-year-old beau by name. ‘The amount of camera angles they will pull out to show an injury, and then commentate on it just to see if it’s as bad of a hit as they really thought it was.<\/p>\n

‘”We’re gonna show you five different angles and we’re gonna slow-mo it,”‘ she said, imitating NFL announcers. ‘It’s insane.’<\/p>\n

Jordan is no stranger to serious injuries. The Utah State product and former first-round draft pick suffered a concussion in the Packers’ Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears and will remain sidelined until the postseason begins next week.<\/p>\n
