Aaron Rodgers is no stranger to headlines, but the former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets quarterback has always tried to keep his private life just thatâprivate. Now, at 41, Rodgers is stepping into a new chapter both personally and professionally. In a recent appearance on âThe Pat McAfee Show,â the NFL star confirmed heâs in a âserious relationshipâ with a woman heâs only briefly mentioned beforeâand for once, he didnât dodge the love-life questions.
Rodgers Talks Love and Life Beyond Football
During Thursdayâs episode of âThe Pat McAfee Show,â Rodgers shared more about his current headspace and whatâs been occupying his time in the NFL off-season. âFrom the jump, Iâm in a different phase of my life,â he said. âIâm 41 years old [and] Iâm in a serious relationship. I have off-field stuff going on that requires my attention.â
While Rodgers didnât reveal the woman’s identity, he previously said her name is Brittaniânot Britney Spears, he jokedâduring a December 2024 appearance on the same show. When McAfee teased him about being âin love,â Rodgers didnât shy away. âItâs a good feeling, boys,â he replied with a grin.
The veteran quarterback added that his attention has been split lately. âI have personal commitments Iâve made, not knowing what my future would look like after next year,â he said. âI have a couple of people in my inner circle who are battling difficult stuff. Thatâs where Iâve been focusing most of my attention.â
Rodgers remains a free agent, and while fans are anxious to see if heâll return to the field or officially retire, his comments suggest that life off the field may be his top priorityâfor now.
A Look Back at Aaron Rodgersâ Romantic Past
Before this âserious relationship,â Rodgers had a string of high-profile romances. He dated actress Olivia Munn for several years, then Olympic race car driver Danica Patrick. His most serious relationship in recent years was with actress Shailene Woodley, whom he began dating during the COVID-19 pandemic. The two got engaged in 2021 but split in 2022. Woodley later referred to the breakup as the âdarkestâ time in her life.
In 2023, Rodgers was linked to Mallory Edens, a model and the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens. Though they were often seen together, a source told People their relationship was âmore than friends, but casual.â That chapter ended in December 2024.
Despite dating in the public eye, Rodgers admitted in his Netflix docuseries âAaron Rodgers: Enigmaâ that he âdespisedâ the attention his celebrity relationships attracted. âI didnât do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated [who] were in the public eye. I enjoyed my private life,â he said.
In recent years, Rodgers has taken a more introspective path, focusing on personal growth and mental wellness. During an appearance on the âAubrey Marcus Podcast,â he credited the psychedelic ayahuasca for helping him cultivate unconditional self-love. âItâs only in that unconditional self-love that Iâm able to unconditionally love others,â he said.
