Jordan Love supports girlfriend Ronika Stone at Padres game as she throws out ceremonial first pitch
Jordan Love is a Los Angeles Dodgers fan. But he's mostly a Ronika Stone fan.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback was being the best boyfriend on Monday night when he was supporting Stone, his girlfriend, as she threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the San Diego Padres game.
Stone was representing her professional volleyball team, the San Diego Mojo.
Love wrote on Instagram with a video of the pitch "Let's Gooo."

Stone threw the pitch from the pitching rubber, and it was on line but just a little short of home plate.
It was definitely respectable as far as first pitches go. She had a good laugh with her friends and family after telling them the catcher who scooped up the pitch told her "almost."
But as Stone pointed out on social media that MLB players often swing at pitches in the dirt.
“Someone’s swinging idc," Stone wrote over a video of the pitch that Love shared on Instagram, with a few laughing emojis.
Ronika Stone on the San Diego Mojo volleyball team
Stone's day job is making her a popular figure around San Diego. She is starring for the Mojo in the inaugural season of the Professional Volleyball Federation.
Stone, a former collegiate All-American at Oregon, is the team’s starting middle blocker. She has a stellar 41% kill percentage, 26 blocks and 10 aces in 12 matches for a surging Mojo team.
San Diego is 5-7 overall and playing much better of late. They have won two straight and three of four entering their match on Wednesday against the Atlanta Vibe.
Love has supported Stone as she continued her professional volleyball career in a new league in 2024 just as she celebrated his success in his first year as the starting quarterback of the Packers in 2023.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love's offseason
The Padres game is the latest sporting event Love has attended this offseason.
Besides Stone's games, Love has taken in a pro tennis match in Las Vegas, a Marquette men's basketball game at Fiserv Forum and recently was mic'd up for a Dodgers game at Dodger Stadium.
And he plans on being at Bucks playoff games later this month, however many that might be. And in between these sporting events, Love appears to be staying in peak physical condition, working with a trainer out west.
Love will enter his second season as the Packers' starting quarterback with high expectations on the heels of a spectacular 2023 campaign.
Padres vs. Cubs: San Diego ties largest comeback win in franchise history
Love and Stone watched the Padres orchestrated an incredible 9-8 come-from-behind win over the Chicago Cubs.
The Padres scored nine unanswered runs after trailing 8-0 to tie for their largest comeback win in team history.
San Diego put up seven runs in the sixth inning and then a two-run home run by Fernando Tatis Jr. in the eighth inning sent Petco Park into a frenzy as they took the lead for the first time.

The loss dropped the Brewers to 6-3. Craig Counsell's Cubs are 6-4.
