Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey has been a terrific pick for the Los Angeles Chargers. Drafted with the No. 34 pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, McConkey has made an immediate impact and emerged as the Chargers’ WR1. The rookie wide receiver has clearly developed a special connection with quarterback Justin Herbert, and he has a bright future in the league.
However, McConkey wouldn’t be where he is today without his support system, including his fiancée, Sydney Horne. Here’s everything you need to know about McConkey’s partner.
Get To Know Ladd McConkey’s Fiancée, Sydney Horne
McConkey and Horne have a love story that’s right out of a romantic comedy. The couple met in the fifth grade and have been dating since December 2017, meaning they were 16 years old when they started seeing one another.
Sydney has been by Ladd’s side throughout the entirety of his journey to the NFL. When McConkey announced his commitment to Georgia, Horne was right by his side on signing day.
She has supported him and watched as he went from a high school football player at North Murray High School to a star at the University of Georgia to a second-round pick in the NFL Draft to an ascending star with the Chargers.
There is no question that Horne has been McConkey’s biggest fan for some time now, and she’s always in the stands supporting him at his games. She has referred to McConkey as her best friend and is always donning his jersey.
Horne is very active on social media, posting photos of the couple throughout much of their relationship timeline.
