In a heartwarming display of talent and love, Philadelphia Eagles‘ offensive tackle Jordan Mailata stole the show at his own wedding reception on Saturday night.

The 6’8″, 365-pound Australian athlete surprised the guests by serenading his new wife with a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s classic hit, “Isn’t She Lovely.”

Mailata, a seventh-round pick by the Eagles in the 2018 NFL Draft, has an inspiring story of transition from professional rugby player to a rising star in American football. Despite his relatively short time in the sport, he has quickly developed into the team’s starting left tackle and played a crucial role in Philadelphia’s success on the field.

Last season, Mailata was an integral part of the Eagles’ rushing attack, which ranked fourth in the NFL with an impressive average of 147.6 yards per game. His dominant presence on the offensive line helped create lanes for running backs and provided a strong foundation for the team’s ground game.

Although the Eagles fell short in their quest for a Super Bowl title last season, losing to Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs in the championship game, Mailata’s performance throughout the year garnered praise and recognition.

His tremendous growth and dedication to the sport have made him a key player to watch in the upcoming season.

The Eagles’ organization and Mailata’s teammates also shared their excitement and support for the newlywed athlete, among others, Mailata’s wedding was attended by stars QB Jalen Hurts and OT Lane Johnson.

As the Eagles set their sights on another Super Bowl run, Mailata’s wedding performance served as a reminder of his multifaceted talents and his commitment to bringing joy both on and off the field.

The video of his heartfelt rendition quickly went viral on social media, with fans and fellow players alike expressing their admiration for his remarkable vocal abilities and his ability to captivate an audience.

With his singing skills now in the spotlight, Mailata also recently starred in the show The Mask Singer with Nick Cannon, it remains to be seen if the talented athlete will explore opportunities beyond the football field.

For now, Mailata’s focus remains on his role as the Eagles’ starting left tackle and helping the team achieve its championship aspirations.

As the 2023 NFL season approaches, Philadelphia fans eagerly anticipate seeing Mailata’s powerful presence on the field and wonder if he will deliver more memorable performances, both as a player and as an entertainer.
