Ladd McConkey’s girlfriend, Sydney Horne, beamed happily as she celebrated his 23rd birthday on Nov. 11. As a perfect partner to the NFL star, she made sure to share her ecstasy with the fans through an Instagram post.
Happy Birthday, Ladd!
Horne posted two pictures with McConkey, one where they pose at the camera smiling ear-to-ear and the other clicked as they share an intimate kiss. Her birthday message highlighted her pride in Ladd’s journey and the person he’s become.
“You have already accomplished so much & I can’t wait to see what you can do this year!” She expressed her deep admiration for him, emphasizing her pride and love. “I’m so proud of you and the person that you are. You deserve it all,” she added, sending an affectionate message.

Both Ladd and Sydney were a part of the University of Georgia, where the WR played for the Georgia Bulldogs and won two national championships and the 2023 Wuerffel Trophy. Their story has been inspiring, as Horne has been by McConkey’s side through the highs of college football victories and the challenges of his professional journey.
