<p id=”par-5_82″>“I don’t have a relationship with my dad … When we grow up we think our parents are Superman and Superwoman and they can do no wrong,” Rodgers said. “And then you get older and you realize they’re just like you and I … So the resentment that I had at times … He was just trying to do the best he could and that helped me to have some grace and forgiveness for the whole thing because they’re not perfect.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_32″>Rodgers has been estranged from his family for several years. His private family matters became public knowledge in 2016 when his younger brother, Jordan, was a contestant on Season 12 of <em>The Bachelorette</em>.</p>
<p id=”par-7_44″>“Me and Aaron don’t really have that much of a relationship,” Jordan said at the time, adding, “It’s just kind of the way he’s chosen to do life, and I chose to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother [Luke].”</p>
<p id=”par-8_48″>Following Jordan’s revelation, the quarterback shared with <a href=”https://www.wisn.com/article/aaron-rodgers-mum-on-relationship-with-brother-jordan-rodgers/6333871″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>WISN</a> what he thought about his sibling airing out their dirty laundry on television, saying: “As far as those kinds of things go, I’ve always found that it’s a little inappropriate so I’m just — I’m not going to speak on those things.” </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-does-rodgers-want-kids-of-his-own”>Does Rodgers want kids of his own? </h2>
<p id=”par-9_13″>So does the athlete want children of his own in the future? </p>
