Aaron Rodgers and his family have not been okay for a long a time now and that surely won’t end based on how the huge event in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback played out.
The four-time MVP recently confirmed that he is married with a woman he did not identify (known only as Brittani), probably pressured by the fans who kept on asking him about the ring spotted on his finger during the signing of his $13 million, one-year contract with his new team.
“Been a couple of months,” Rodgers told reporters last week after team practice.
The internet learned about the truth and sadly, his family members are now also part of the internet.
The New York Post reported that A-Rod’s brother Jordan and Jojo were left in the dark about the wedding and that he only learned about it like how everyone else did.
“Jordan and JoJo didn’t go to the wedding and don’t even know anything really about Brittani,” NY Post wrote citing an anonymous source.
“What they’ve heard is secondhand from his parents [Ed and Darla].
The juicier bit about the report is that Jordan is uninterested in the wedding which usually is celebrated hard by brothers.
“They are still angry that Aaron didn’t go to their wedding [in May 2022]. He didn’t want to be with his brother on the biggest day of his life, so why should they twist themselves up over this wedding?”
Aaron Rodgers’ relationship with his brothers
The rift between the brothers first surfaced in 2016. The younger Jordan, who’s now working as a commentator after a short NFL career, revealed the conflict in an episode of The Bachelorette.
“It’s something we don’t really like to talk about a whole lot,” he told Fletcher.
“It pains both of us like, not to have that relationship [with Aaron] — we miss our brother. I trust that God brings things full circle and that everything would just get back to us being a family.”
This disconnect is reportedly due to A-Rod being agnostic and his family members being super religious.
The rift went on and Rodgers hated the fact that his brothers publicly talk about their disconnect with each other.
“I was quiet about it because I thought the best way to do it was don’t talk about it publicly,” Aaron said in a Netflix docuseries in 2023.
“And what did they do? They go on a bulls— show and leave two empty chairs. They all agreed, like, this was a good thing to do, to leave two empty chairs at a stupid dating show … But like, a dinner that was during the [NFL] season, that I was never asked to go to, not that I would’ve gone.”
The Green Bay Packers legend reportedly was able to mend it with his parents but with his brothers, there’s still no end in sight.
