So, the other day, I was just kicking back, watching some football stuff, you know? And Jordan Mailata comes up – massive guy, incredible story going from rugby to the NFL. Anyway, it just popped into my head, completely random, I started wondering about his personal life. Like, is he married? Who’s he with? It’s funny the things you get curious about.

Naturally, I went to my computer to do a little digging. It’s kind of my routine when a question like this bugs me. Opened up a browser, started searching. My usual process, you know? Typed in things like ‘jordan mailata partner’, ‘jordan mailata relationship’, eventually ‘jordan mailata wife’.
Had to click through a few pages. Lots of articles about his career, his contract, his journey from Australia. That stuff is everywhere. But finding specifics about his personal life took a bit more scrolling, wading through the usual mix of news and fan talk.
Then, I started seeing a name consistently mentioned in relation to him personally. Found out he is indeed married. His wife’s name is Niki Ikahihifo-Bender. Saw mentions that they tied the knot, I think sometime back in 2023, maybe around the middle of the year? It wasn’t splashed all over the place, but the info was there if you looked for it.
It wasn’t super easy, had to piece it together from different spots. Not like some celebrities where their whole life is an open book. But yeah, managed to confirm it. Just one of those little research trails you go down sometimes when curiosity strikes. Thought I’d share the process, pretty straightforward really, just took a little patience.
