Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love and his wife, former University of Oregon volleyball star Ronika Stone, are expecting their first child. The couple shared the joyful news on Instagram with a series of intimate, monochrome photographs, captioning the post "New year, new addition."
Denim, White, and Winter Whimsy: A Classic Photoshoot
The Lovely couple chose their own home as the setting for a timeless maternity photoshoot. In the first image, they are seen in matching white t-shirts and light blue denim jeans. Ronika Stone Love opted for a natural, no-makeup look, proudly showing the "linea nigra" – a common, harmless dark line that appears on the abdomen during pregnancy due to hormonal changes.
The photoshoot beautifully captured their winter backdrop through a large, transparent arched window, revealing a serene forest of bare trees and snow. The collection of seven snapshots tells a story of anticipation and deep affection.
Seven Snapshots of Anticipation and Love
The announcement featured several heartfelt images:
- The first slide presented six sonogram images of their unborn baby.
- Another showed a silhouette of Jordan gently kissing Ronika's forehead.
- A particularly tender photo captured Ronika sitting on Jordan's lap, with both their hands – and their wedding rings – encircling her baby bump.
- In a standing pose, Ronika looked back at Jordan with a radiant smile as he gazed at her with immense love.
- The fifth image highlighted a tiny, cream-colored knitted baby romper with ruffled legs, which read "BABY Love SPRING 2026" in lavender-pink lettering.
- Another candid shot showed Ronika relaxed on a beige couch while Jordan photographed her with his smartphone.
A Jersey Number Tribute to Fatherhood
The final snapshot held a special meaning. It focused on Ronika holding a miniature Green Bay Packers jersey with the name "LOVE" and the number 10. This number is a heartfelt tribute from Jordan to his late father, Orbin Love Jr.
In September 2024, Jordan explained to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, "My dad wore number 10 when he was in high school. That was a tribute to him. When I was younger, I started wearing 10... it kind of just stuck with me. Definitely a tribute to my dad." The baby's jersey continues this family legacy.
With a professional athlete mother and an NFL quarterback father, fans are already excitedly speculating about the future athletic prowess of Baby Love, due in Spring 2026. The announcement has been warmly received by fans and the sports community, celebrating this new chapter for the couple.
