Jeff Gillooly (now Jeff Stone) is the ex-husband of former ice skating star Tonya Harding. He is perhaps best known for being found guilty of conspiring with Shawn Eckhardt in hiring Shane Stant to attack rival skater Nancy Kerrigan. Gilloly and Harding married in 1990, and divorced in 1993.

On July 14, 1994, he was sentenced to two years in prison. After his release he and the two other conspirators publicly severed all ties with Harding.

Gillooly eventually changed his name to the less-recognizable Jeff Stone.
