It’s been a roller coaster ride for the Packers quarterback since earning the starting position. Thankfully he’s got a talented and supportive woman at his side.
This is Ronika Stone: Packers’ QB Jordan Love’s pro volleyball player wife
Jordan Love had an impressive 2024 season. He lead the Packers to an 11-6 record and had over 3,300 passing yards and 25 TDs. It would be fair to say that Jordan Love has answered the call as starting quarterback. It would also be fair to say that the woman in his life, now his wife, has played a major role in that success.
Ronika Stone: From volleyball star to Jordan Love’s support system
Off the bat, it should be said that Ronika Stone is a talented athlete in her own right and one who has even represented the United States. Yet, before we get to that, let’s recap a little. Born on June 7th, 1998 in San Jose, California, Ronika attended Valley Christian High School and it didn’t take long for her to showcase her talents on the volleyball court. Indeed, Stone was a central part of the team that won two Division III State Championships in 2013 and 2015. Naturally, the college game was the next step, and after committing to the University of Oregon, and becoming the highest-rated recruit in the institution’s history, it was time to get to work.
In the four seasons that Stone played for Oregon while studying for a degree in journalism, she registered 1,251 kills, 2,669 total attacks, and 485 total blocks, which is ranked third overall in the university’s all-time list. Stone also tallied 429 block assists, becoming the only player in Oregon’s history to surpass the 400 mark in that category. With numbers like that, one can probably guess that it wasn’t long before the professional game came calling and in 2020 Stone joined Volero Le Cannet of the French Ligue A.
During her brief time in France - she played just one season - she was named Best Spiker before heading back to the United States where she was again named Best Spiker in the Athletes Unlimited Pro League. From there Stone would go on to play for a time in Puerto Rico’s Liga de Voleibol Superior Femenino which in turn would lead to further international recognition and an eventual spot on Team USA where she would lead the Americans to medals at both junior and senior level, culminating in a silver medal at the Pan Am Cup Final Six.
Her most recent professional team was the San Diego Mojo, where she played in 2024. On her Instagram account she still defines herself as a pro volleyball player, although it’s unclear if has a contract with a team in 2025.

Yet, none of this is surprising when considering the family from which Stone comes. Stone’s father, Ron Stone, played as an offensive lineman in the NFL between 1994 and 2005, playing for several teams including the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and the then-Oakland Raiders. During his career, Stone won two Super Bowls, was an All-Pro selection on two occasions, and was named to the Prow Bowl three times. There is also Ronna, her older sister who also attended the University of Oregon where she was a thrower for the track-and-field team, eventually becoming California State Champion.
It’s been an up-and-down ride as the quarterback has come in for heavy criticism at times, but we can assume that’s behind him now as the couple recently got married and have started their life together.
