Chipper Jones Announces Heartwarming Personal News
GettyManager Chipper Jones looks on ahead of the 2025 All-Star Futures Game at Truist Park on July 12, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Ahead of their recent series with the Padres, Braves legend Chipper Jones did an interview with 680 The Fan.
At the end of the interview, he revealed exciting personal news.
Jones: “This past weekend I just married off my oldest son. So we had quite a time over there in Athens, Georgia getting him married. Yeah, I’m going to recover for a couple days.”
Host: “Wait a minute now. Help me out on this. Typically the bride’s parents pay for this, but you’re not always marrying into the Chipper family. So how does the check get written for this?”
Jones: “I’m going to reserve comment on that at this time. You and I can share a beverage at some point and I’ll let you in on the secret.”
Host: “Did you cut a rug? Did you get on the dance floor?”
Jones: “I did a little bit. Yeah, I did. I had a cowboy hat on too. It was glorious.”
Host: “So there was no like electric slide or the Macarena didn’t break out?”
Jones: “I did get out there for the wobble. We did not have the electric slide. Or at least I may have been in the bathroom when they did the electric slide. I’m not sure.”
Looking At Chipper

He helped the franchise reach the MLB playoffs 12 times (and they won the 1995 World Series title).
To this day, Jones is still among the most popular sports stars in Atlanta.
