Daniel Jones Is Dating Former Duke Volleyball Player Nicole ElAttrache
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones went Instagram official with his girlfriend this week.
Jones, who is recovering from injury, is hoping to be full-go in time for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season.
"Definitely still work to be done and progress to be made," Jones said, via The Athletic's James Boyd. "So, I think it's just continuing to get stronger, continuing to run faster, cut harder. And progress, kind of, according to the program."
But while Jones is recovering from his injury, he's gone Instagram official with his girlfriend: Nicole Elattrache.
Nicole ElAttrache, who played volleyball at Duke, wished Daniel Jones a happy birthday on her Instagram Story.
"Happy birthday Daniel," she wrote.
"I love you."
It's unclear how long the couple has been dating, though they are now social media official, which is a big deal in 2026.
Nicole's father is sports surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache
Nicole's father has a major connection to the sports world. He is Dr. Neal ElAttrache, one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the world. He serves as the Head Team Physician for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Rams.
When a top athlete undergoes surgery for a major injury, odds are that Dr. ElAttrache is the one doing the surgery.
"He serves on the Board of Directors at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic, and Chairman of the Board of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Foundation. He is Co-Chair of Medical Affairs for the Kerlan-Jobe Institute, a collaboration with Cedars-Sinai whose goal is to lead advancements in the fields of orthopedics and sports medicine on a global scale," his bio reads.
Dr. ElAttrache did not perform the surgery for Daniel Jones, when he suffered a torn Achilles.
The Colts, meanwhile, are scheduled to open the 2026 season on Sept. 13 against Baltimore. Nicole is certain to be in attendance.
