Sing, Jordan Mailata, sing!
On Saturday, the Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle married his longtime girlfriend Niki Ikahihifo in Maui, Hawaii — and serenaded his new wife with a rendition ofStevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely.”
In avideo shared to Eagles Nation, the 26-year-old Australian athlete showed off his powerful, pitch-perfect voice from the dais, while Ikahihifo took to the dance floor.
Wearing an Eagles-colored green suit, the 6-foot 8-inch Mailata brought the song to new heights — and guests at the wedding took note too, as they cheered in appreciation.
Eagles quarterbackJalen Hurtsand right tackle Lane Johnson were among those in attendance,according toSports Illustrated.
Last year,Mailata appeared onThe Masked Singer, where he impressed judges and fans alike in his turn as Thingamabob.“I was a singer first before any sort of athlete,” he said at the time.
The judges couldn’t believe an active NFL player appeared on the show.
“This has been an incredible experience for me,” Mailata shared after he was eliminated during week 3. “I want to say if you want to do something, just do it.”
The NFL star is not the only member of the Eagles to tackle marriage this year.
