Ronika Stone, a professional volleyball middle blocker and the wife of Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, announced her retirement on February 19, 2026. Her decision marks the conclusion of an impressive sixteen-year career in the sport.
The former University of Oregon standout shared the decision via social media, stating she is walking away on her own terms to focus on her family.
“In 2010, I nervously stepped into a volleyball tryout not knowing this sport would change my life forever. And now, 16 years later, here I am saying goodbye,” she writes.

She is currently expecting her first child with her husband. The couple anticipates the birth of their daughter in the spring of 2026.
Ronika departs the sport following a highly productive professional tenure. She spent her final two seasons with the San Diego Mojo in the Pro Volleyball Federation.
During her last year of competition, she earned all-league honors and ranked among the top defensive players in the PVF in blocks. Her career also included two consecutive championships in the Puerto Rican league with Las Pinkin De Corozal.
At the collegiate level, she remains the all-time leader at Oregon for hitting percentage and block assists.
The retirement news follows a significant year for the couple. Jordan and Ronika married in June 2025 and announced their pregnancy on New Year’s Day 2026.
While Ronika transitions away from the court, her husband continues his trajectory as the franchise leader for the Green Bay Packers. Jordan supported the announcement publicly, writing “Always my goat” in response to her farewell message.
Her departure from professional sports aligns with her recent expansion into new ventures. In early February 2026, she was featured as a digital cover star for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
Ronika noted that while she will miss the competition, she is eager to embrace her new role as a mother. This transition concludes a chapter defined by athletic excellence and begins a private one focused on her growing family in Wisconsin.
The couple remains a prominent fixture in the Green Bay community as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season and their new chapter in life.
