Getting into a relationship through a dating app? Sounds cool, right? But meeting your life partner through the same app? It’s not the norm nowadays. But there are always a few exceptions. And the Eagles’ long snapper Rick Lovato and his wife are certainly an example.

Rick Lovato, went undrafted in 2015. He was then picked by the Eagles next year. There he became their consistent long-snapper playing 130+ matches since 2016. But his personal life is as interesting as his game, especially, his wife.

Who is Rick Lovato’s wife?

Lovato is married to Jordan Britt. She is an entrepreneur and designer by profession. Her interest in entrepreneurship is kind of inherited. Yes, her dad Fred, also a businessman was involved with Tampa Bay Real Estate Investment and Development. Jordan mostly specializes in wedding planning design. Also, she is heavily active on social media, especially TikTok (now banned). And why wouldn’t she want to be an influencer? She has a degree in telecommunications and film.

She was born on April 7, 1993, making her the youngest of 6 siblings. The family suffered a heartbreaking loss in 2007 when Fred passed away, leaving 14-year-old Jordan to cope with the tragedy. Having a mother like Nancy must’ve helped the teenager as the former has a Master’s degree in counseling. Jordan then went to the University of South Florida for her graduation which she completed in 2016. But she had to wait another year to meet the love of her life.

When did the Eagles’ long snapper get married?

Rick and Jordan met on Bumble and started dating in 2017. They shared their relationship online after only a month. But it was November of 2019, during a Thanksgiving party at her sister’s house when the long snapper proposed to her. Then on February 19, 2022, the couple finally exchanged vows.

They married at Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia. It was quite a journey, from meeting on a dating app and then after five years of dating finally exchanging rings. But the real test was yet to come for them.

Does Rick Lovato have kids?

Rick has a child, but the story is often quoted as traumatic for the Lovatos. The couple had to battle infertility for a couple of years. But after fertility treatment, they conceived in 2023. But all the ecstasy came to an end as Jordan had been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. In this condition, a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, causing internal bleeding. She had to undergo surgery, and after that, she lost the pregnancy. Life is cruel at times, isn’t it? But it also gives you reasons to smile.

The couple announced in May 2024, that they were expecting their first child through IVF. And on October 10, the wait ended. Lovato welcomed a baby boy named ‘Freddie,’ named after his grandfather. The couple actively shares pictures of Freddie quite often. The Eagles long snapper had quite a joyful 4 months, welcoming his first child and his team reaching the NFC championship game. Now, we’ll see him in action against the Commanders, on the 26th at his home den, Lincoln Field.
