Aaron Rodgers has stepped into a new phase of life: Married life.
There’s been talk about a certain piece of jewelry on his finger, and during a June 10 press conference, the newly signed Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback clarified that he is indeed married.
When asked about the ring by reporters, he confirmed, “It’s a wedding ring,” adding that it’s been several months since the wedding took place.
The confirmation of his marital status came shortly after the Steelers posted a photo of Aaron signing his contract with the team on their social media, captioned “officially official.” The image had fans questioning if his marital status was also now officially confirmed. However, the ring in the picture initially sparked curiosity among followers.
Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time Aaron’s ring finger drew attention. Fans and social media detectives noticed a ring on his finger at the 2025 Kentucky Derby in May as well.
As for who my lifelong teammate is, I haven’t disclosed her name explicitly. Yet, those who follow the intricacies of my personal life might recognize Brittani, the lady I recently acknowledged in my relationship just a few months back. To set the record straight, it’s not Britney Spears, as I clarified on The Pat McAfee Show in December. It’s Brittani with an ‘i’.
I didn’t mince words when expressing my emotions, openly confirming that I was smitten and telling the hosts, “It’s a wonderful feeling, gentlemen.” In fact, during an April episode of The Pat McAfee Show, I revealed that our bond is a serious one.
Perhaps it comes as no surprise that I chose to postpone announcing my marriage until now. You might recall that I didn’t divulge my engagement to Shailene Woodley until I mentioned it during my acceptance speech for the Most Valuable Player award at the 2021 NFL Honors.
Shailene Woodley is one of many notable ladies I have been linked with throughout the years, with Olivia Munn and Danica Patrick also gracing my list of past relationships. For a comprehensive overview of my romantic history and gossip, be sure to keep reading further.
In Aaron Rodgers’ past romantic history, he was involved with Micala Drews during their high school days at Pleasant Valley High School in Chico, California. This is according to sportswriter Ian O’Connor in his 2024 book “Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers.”
They shared a common interest in sports and often engaged in conditioning and weightlifting sessions together. Micala, a volleyball player, and Aaron, on the football team, found camaraderie in their shared athletic pursuits.
In terms of his personality during those days, Micala described him as a “funny slightly awkward kid.” She also noted that he exhibited natural leadership skills, not through words but rather by actions and humble confidence.
Long before he became the leader of the Pack, Micala encouraged Aaron in his aspirations to play professionally. According to the book, she prophesied, “Someday, people will refer to your home stadium as ‘Mister Rodgers’ Neighborhood.’
During her time on the television series “Gossip Girl,” there were whispers about Jessica Szohr’s relationship with Aaron. They were seen together in 2011 and again in early 2014, fueling speculation. However, neither of them confirmed or denied the romance rumors. In 2011, when asked if she was a fan of the Green Bay Packers because of Aaron, Jessica playfully told TopMob, “I’m rooting for the Packers because I’m from Green Bay!”
Now, Jessica is married to hockey player Brad Richardson, making her stepmother to his daughter Lexi. The couple also welcomed a daughter named Bowie together.
Fans of football may be familiar with Aaron’s Super Bowl ring, but they might not know about his engagement ring. In 2011, according to “Out of the Darkness,” Aaron developed a serious relationship with Destiny Newton, an attractive woman from Chico whom he had known for years. The book even mentions that the two got engaged; however, their relationship didn’t last until 2013 as they ended up breaking up.
The following year, Aaron started dating Olivia Munn and they both presented at the 2014 ACM Awards. Their meeting story was quite remarkable. As the actress told Conan O’Brien in 2015, when they first met, she asked him about his profession, and he replied that he played football. Not recognizing him as a professional athlete, she showed interest but didn’t know he was a Super Bowl MVP at the time. Instead, she found him very attractive. This chance encounter didn’t let slip away, and Aaron and Olivia formed a high-profile couple.
Aaron spoke about his happiness in their relationship with ESPN Milwaukee, acknowledging the attention that came with it. There were also rumors surrounding Aaron’s family issues, including his brothers Jordan and Luke, as well as his parents Ed and Darla. Olivia was reportedly caught up in the feud between Aaron and his family, but she wasn’t to blame for the years of drama, according to Aaron.
The couple parted ways in 2017 after three years together. Now, Olivia is married to John Mulaney and they have children named Malcolm and Méi.
Despite not sparking a romantic connection with Danica Patrick after their initial encounter at the 2012 ESPY Awards, Aaron and Danica maintained occasional contact over email. However, they didn’t regularly communicate until much later, with some periods of no contact in between. They eventually exchanged phone numbers following Aaron’s breakup with Munn, marking the start of their relationship in early 2018. The couple affectionately referred to each other as “Chicago” and “Green Bay,” but ended their two-year relationship in 2020. Danica described this separation as one of the most difficult times in her life due to its suddenness, emotional abuse, and intertwined nature that encompassed various aspects of daily life. After the breakup, Danica was involved with Carter Comstock from 2021 to 2022, but she later confirmed on the Believe in the Good podcast that she is currently single.
Aaron didn’t conceal small untruths when he declared his engagement at the NFL Honors in February 2021, as it was already public knowledge that he was dating Shailene Woodley thanks to TopMob News revealing their relationship days prior.
In reality, she had mentioned they had been engaged for some time on a February 2021 episode of The Tonight Show. She praised Aaron as an exceptional individual, but admitted she never thought she’d be engaged to someone who played football professionally.
Over the following year, fans caught glimpses of Shailene and Aaron’s relationship through photos of their outings and social media posts. However, in 2022, they parted ways.
Shailene recalled the breakup as a difficult period in her life, stating that she felt she had lost herself and experienced depression and anxiety. She explained to Outside in 2024 that she’d remained in a toxic relationship out of empathy for someone else.
Shailene found it challenging to discuss her split with Aaron due to the emotional pain it caused. “I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron because it always makes me cry,” she said. “It was not right, but it was beautiful.”
However, Shailene moved on to a new romance with Lucas Bravo from Emily in Paris, who confirmed their relationship in the spring of 2025.
There was curiosity among social media users about whether Aaron had been attempting to pursue a relationship with Mallory Edens, the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens, following an instance in April 2022 where he and Packers teammate Randall Cobb sat beside her at a game.
It’s worth noting that Aaron had acquired a stake in the Bucks back in 2018, and there were previous instances of him and Mallory sitting together at games. However, their attendance together at an Ed Sheeran concert in New Jersey in June 2023 seemed to spark more speculation about their relationship.
Neither Aaron nor Mallory made any public statements regarding the rumors of a romantic involvement.
In 2024, Aaron disclosed that he had joined the dating scene again and found himself smitten with a woman named Brittani. He made it clear on an episode of The Pat McAfee Show in December that this wasn’t Britney Spears but rather Brittani with an ‘i’. He also mentioned that his girlfriend didn’t have a significant online presence, yet he admitted to being in love, expressing to the show’s hosts, “It feels great, guys.
In April 2025, Aaron made it clear to Pat McAfee that he was in a deep romantic commitment, which later turned into marriage.
The wedding speculations started when Aaron was seen wearing a ring on his wedding finger at the Kentucky Derby in May 2025 and later at the signing of his contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
During his first press conference with the team, he acknowledged that the ring was indeed a wedding band, revealing that it had been a few months since he got married, though he didn’t confirm if his wife is “Brittani with an ‘i.”
It seems Aaron might be keeping quiet about his personal life for a reason. After all, he has expressed discomfort with being in the public eye.
In his 2024 Netflix docuseries, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, he mentioned that dating high-profile women after a certain point was not beneficial, and he didn’t appreciate the attention that came with it. “I really hated it at first—really despised it,” he said. “I valued my private life. I enjoyed being able to go places, but from Super Bowl MVP, MVP, State Farm commercials, things got a little more challenging.
