Daniel Jones and Ella Bonafede

Daniel Jones, the quarterback for the New York Giants known for his poise on the football field, and Ella Bonafede, a former Duke University lacrosse player, have been a steadfast couple since their college days at Duke, where they first met.

Their relationship began in the halls of academia and athletics, between 2015 to 2018, blossoming into a deep connection as they both pursued their passions—Daniel in the NFL and Ella in her public health career. While they have kept their relationship relatively private, the moments they share publicly reflect a bond built on mutual respect and shared experiences from their formative years in college.
