"Hurt my back a few times" - When Jackson Holliday's brother Ethan opened up about his favorite memory from Orioles rookie's wedding
Jackson Holliday's younger brother Ethan Holliday recalled his favorite memory of Jackson's wedding. The brothers were invited as guests for an episode of the Sports Spectrum Podcast, which was recorded during the 2024 MLB spring training.
In the podcast video, the host congratulated Jackson on his wedding to Chloe before shifting focus to his younger brother, who narrated his favorite moment from the Orioles rookie ace's wedding. Ethan said:
"I don't know. The whole thing was pretty incredible just seeing all our friends and then the big day was awesome, but I don't know it was all pretty. Yeah I danced the whole time.
"I don't know it was kind of a mix it was kind of freestyle honestly I probably hurt my back a few times. Like I'm probably a little too big to be doing some of the moves I was doing, but it was great."
Before Ethan, Jackson Holliday gave his take on his wedding with his longtime girlfriend Chloe. He voiced praise on the event planners who did all the work and the last-minute makeshift arrangements required to move the ceremony indoors after it had started raining in Manalapan, Florida. Jackson said:
"It was awesome, it was really beautiful. We planned on doing it outside, but the rain caused us to go inside, but it was still pretty unbelievable.
"They [event planners] did a great job with everything, and I think it turned out about as well as you can plan. So, it was a lot of fun."

The Holliday brothers also shared their dynamics with their illustrious father, former World Series winner Matt Holliday.
Jackson Holliday said:
"It's different for both of us. Me and my dad are pretty laidback and pretty simple, and we do like certain competitive training. It is a pretty easy dynamics, not a whole lot of arguing or getting after each other, it's more like fun, playful competitiveness."
Ethan Holliday added:
"I am a little fiery sometimes. Me and my dad, we get along; we're best friends like we get along super well, but I mean he's really competitive, and I'm really competitive. If we are thinking the same thing, it gets a little chippy, but as we gotten older, it's definetly gotten more chill."

Like his brother, Ethan too is touted to be a great rookie prospect for the 2025 MLB draft. Although he's still in the Stillwater High School, his scouting reports have been positive.
Whether he decides to turn pro, like his brother Jackson Holliday, or play collegiate baseball with the OSU Cowboys after high school will be closely followed next year.
