Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones shared a rare glimpse of his relationship with girlfriend, Nicole Elattrache, as the pair celebrated his 29th birthday on Wednesday.
Jones, who reached a two-year, $88 million deal with the Colts in March, reshared an Instagram Story post from Elattrache, which included photos of them and a sweet message on his special day.
“Happy Birthday Daniel,” Elattrache wrote, including a snapshot of them smiling while at the Kentucky Derby.
“I love you,” she added in another slide, sharing a photo of the pair laughing and holding hands.
It’s unclear exactly when Jones and Elattrache, a former volleyball player for Duke University, got together. Jones played football for the Blue Devils.
Elattrache is the co-founder of Drink Triply, a spirit-based cocktails brand, with her two sisters.
Jones, recovering from a season-ending Achilles tear in December, is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season.
He looked like he was moving well while throwing at the team’s practice in Indianapolis on Wednesday.
Jones had a career resurgence with Indianapolis after joining the Colts in free agency last March.
He backed up Sam Darnold in Minnesota late in the 2024 season after he was released by the Giants following five-plus seasons.
He has tallied a career 17,683 yards with 89 touchdowns and 55 interceptions.
Daniel previously dated Ella Bonafede, a former lacrosse player for Duke University, in the beginning of his Giants tenure in 2019.
