Joran Mailata can add wedding singer to his list of many talents after a video of him from his nuptials got some attention over the weekend. The Eagles offensive tackle got married, and he took the liberty of serenading his wife while she was dancing at the reception.
The 26-year-old’s performance of Stevie Wonder’s 1976 hit “Isn’t She Lovely” was nothing short of beautiful. Donning a gray suit and assisted by an entire band, Mailata can be seen singing to his wife as she dances with an older man—presumably her father.
This isn’t new, though. The 6’8”, 365-pound groom competed on the seventh season of The Masked Singer and recorded a Christmas album will fellow Eagles offensive linemen Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, and former Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin in the past.

Mailata is Australian and grew up playing rugby with little to no knowledge of football but after an introduction and some training, the Eagles selected him in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL draft and he’s been the team’s starter for the bulk of the past three years. He started 10 games in 2020 and every game he has appeared in during the last two seasons.
Between his background, talent and singing prowess, Mailata is a fan favorite and the Philly faithful loved his latest performance. Here are some of the best reactions to his wedding melodies:
Jordan Mailata is a Pro Bowl-level left tackle and yet he still missed his calling. #Eagles https://t.co/qyQIyljaS9

I’m here, once again, to remind you that it absolutely is NOT fair that Jordan Mailata gets to be a professional athlete AND have a voice like that while I’m short, slow, and have a voice that sends my cat running for cover 😂 https://t.co/TDavDPSbA3

Does Jordan Mailata have the most talent in the NFL in something not football? https://t.co/xmyRM04ujI
