Ronika Stone Love is this year's "clutch player" for P&G, where the volleyball pro and wife of Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, shared tips on creating the ultimate Super Bowl party.
In an exclusive interview with Stone Love, she revealed that "wings are a staple" for Super Bowl parties, as well as P&G helping with the cleanup. Stone Love has mastered her cleanup routine with dishwasher solution, Pepto tablets in case you have too much queso or wings and the Vicks Vapo Shower to calm down after high-stakes moments.
"I have Vicks Vapo Shower before to at least bring your heart rate down," she recommends. "And then if the food brings it back up, having the Pepto to like bring it back down to earth again."
Not only does the Super Bowl bring out this method for Stone Love, regular season games, as she watches Jordan play, also call for some Vicks and Pepto.
"I know me watching a game before I could watch a regular NFL game and not care," she said prior to her relationship with Jordan. "And it's like, oh, but now that my husband plays, I'm watching every hit and every game is just, it feels like my chest is tightening up."
Now, after the cleanup of the Super Bowl festivities and the NFL season coming to a close, Stone Love revealed how her partnership will expand into her new era: motherhood.
She revealed what she and Jordan are most excited about: welcoming their daughter into the world. The couple who tied the knot in June 2025 announced that they were expecting their first child together on New Year's Day.
"Well, just having her," Stone Love shared of the most exciting part so far. " I'm so excited. Just expanding, becoming a family of three. Something that we've talked about for a long time. And the fact that it's steadily approaching is insane that we always look at each other and we're like, we're going to be parents."
Right now, Stone Love has some nieces and nephews who have foreshadowed how she plans to leverage the partnership.
"I think now, cause I have nieces and nephews, and the cleanup and then like bringing it back to P&G, seeing how many products they have just to help with cleanup is like, okay, well maybe we need to move the clutch player to the baby because she's gonna need the most help."
Ronika Stone Love announces retirement from volleyball
In addition to her partnership with P&G, Stone Love recently shared how she is retiring from volleyball after five pro seasons.
"In 2010, I nervously stepped into a volleyball tryout not knowing this sport would change my life forever," the middle blocker and social media personality wrote in the post. "And now, 16 years later, here I am saying goodbye."
She shared that the journey did not happen without moments of uncertainty as well as times when she reached new heights.
"So many ups and downs. Laughs and tears. Moments where I felt like I hit rock bottom and others where I felt on top of the world," she continued. "This sport showed me the beauty of emotion. Of adapting. Of asking yourself: What are you going to do when things aren’t going your way? Who are you going to be?"
Stone Love gave her all in the final season for the San Diego Mojo where she spent her last two seasons. She was named to the all-star team, second-team all-league honors, and was third in the league in blocks. During her career, she played for the Volero Le Cannet in France, AU Pro Volleyball, Las Pinkin De Corozal in Puerto Rico. She won two back-to-back championships with the Las Pinkin De Corozal.
"They say athletes die twice — once when they retire, and once when they pass. Dramatic, I know," Stone Love concluded in her post. "But I’m blessed to walk away on my own terms. Literally creating new life and stepping into a new chapter so.. Thank you, volleyball. I’ll never be able to say thank you enough."
