Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones and a girlfriend Nicole Elatrache they made their relationship Instagram official.
Elatrache, 30, posted two photos on her Instagram Story in honor of Jones’ 29th birthday, which she celebrated on Wednesday, May 27.
“Happy birthday, Daniel,” he wrote on top of the first slide, showing the two of them at the Kentucky Derby.
“I love you,” he added in the next slide, which showed the two dancing and holding hands.
Jones shared a second slide on her account, telling her 304,000 followers that she was no longer on the market.
It is not clear when the two began dating, but their time at Duke University flew by. Jones was a defender for the Blue Devils from 2015 to 2018 and Elatrache was on the volleyball team from 2014 to 2017.
The Colts are in the midst of their voluntary OTAs, or organized team activities. Jones, who is recovering from an achilles injury at the end of last season, spoke to the media on Wednesday about his progress.
“I feel good. It’s been a good program so far,” he told reporters. “Like, six months in, I’m feeling good. I’ve been here working hard with our coaches and the strong staff here and we’re going well.”
Simone Biles has her husband Jonathan Owens’ back — no matter which NFL team is written on his jersey. “No Friday the 13th scares here,” Biles, 28, wrote on her Instagram Stories on Friday, March 13, retweeting the news that Owens, 30, had signed a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts. “I am proud of you my child. […]
Jones continued, “There’s definitely still work to be done and progress to be made. So, I think it’s continuing to get stronger, continuing to run faster, cutting more and moving forward with the type of program, but it’s been good. I think we’ve hit all of our marks so far and we’re going to continue to do that.”
Jones saved his injury three games into the final seven games of a disastrous 2025 season for the Colts. This game saw them go from 8-2 after Week 10 to being eliminated from the playoff race in Week 17.
Four days after his Achilles injury, Jones took to Instagram to thank Colts fans and the organization for sticking by him.
Joe Scarnici/Getty Images Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole went through a little relationship of ups and downs before splitting for good in 2022. The exes dated on and off for five years after Nicole kicked things off by sending him an Instagram DM in 2017. “He’s been stalking and flirting with me for a few months,” […]
“Thank you to my teammates, coaches, the Colts organization, and all the fans for their great support,” he wrote. “It’s a tough way to end this season but it’s been a pleasure to put on the horseshoe and play for the Colts fans. I’ll miss hanging out with my guys, but I’ll be riding with them every step of the way. Go Colts!”
Jones enters his second season with the Colts after starting his career with the New York Giants. He signed a two-year, $88 million contract with the franchise in March.
The Colts will open the 2026 preseason on August 13, on the road against the New England Patriots.
