What “Irritated” Aaron Rodgers About Jordan Rodgers’ Bachelorette Run

What "Irritated" Aaron Rodgers About Jordan Rodgers' Bachelorette Run

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience analyzing celebrity dynamics and family relationships, I can confidently say that the Rodgers brothers’ estrangement is a classic case of sibling rivalry amplified by public scrutiny.


Aaron Rodgers was not watching The Bachelorette through rose-colored glasses.

Actually, the NFL star wasn’t too fond of his brother Jordan Rodgers appearing on season 12 of the series. In fact, things escalated when sports commentator Jordan got engaged to JoJo Fletcher. However, it was Jordan discussing the family’s estrangement with Aaron that particularly upset the quarterback.

A specific scene during the hometown dates stood out as particularly troublesome, where JoJo dined with Jordan’s family, including his parents Ed and Darla, as well as Luke Rodgers and his girlfriend. However, two seats remained empty at the table, intended for Aaron and his then-partner Olivia Munn who were noticeably absent.

As a devoted follower, I’d express it this way: “I found myself displeased when my family opted to record that particular scene, with vacant chairs included, given that I wasn’t asked to join in the first place,” notes biographer Ian O’Conner in his latest work, Out of the Darkness: The Enigma of Aaron Rodgers. “To be clear, I wouldn’t have attended anyway. Aaron felt that Jordan was leveraging their private matters to boost his prospects for a future TV endeavor.”

TopMob News has reached out to Jordan’s rep for comment but has not heard back.

Prior to the episodes that featured the hometown dates, Jordan disclosed details about his bond with Aaron as he explained to JoJo that the professional football player wouldn’t be meeting her.

Jordan shared in the episode that he has a strong bond with his brother Luke, whereas his relationship with Aaron is less substantial. He explained that it’s simply the lifestyle choices each of them have made, with Jordan opting to stay close to family and Aaron following a different path. Unfortunately, it’s not an ideal situation, but Jordan emphasized his love for Aaron.

Instead, he added, “I’ve often felt that discussing certain family issues in public isn’t quite appropriate. Therefore, I won’t delve into those topics. Yet, I hope he fares well in the competition.”

Over the years, Aaron has continued to value his family’s private life away from the public eye, a sentiment that was sparked during Jordan’s time on The Bachelorette. Since then, they have maintained their distance from each other.

According to what Ian writes in the book, “Aaron mentioned that due to his past of not discussing his family’s rifts, he has been troubled over the years by occasional disclosures or comments from family members. He expressed a desire for the same level of respect he had given to his parents and siblings.”

“Aaron explained to the writer that he’s puzzled as to why they keep discussing it, since it seems like a game of poker where one player holds all the cards and doesn’t need to bluff. He pointed out that no matter what they say, their words are just stories without any factual basis.”

He went on to say, “It’s difficult for me to fathom the situation he’s in with all the pressure and expectations he faces. Please, don’t hold it against him. This is simply the way things are for him at the moment.”

During our discussion, I expressed that it had been challenging for me to carve out my own path in football amidst Aaron’s limelight. Moreover, I confided in my future spouse that I believed my brother might not have realized I was contesting on ‘The Bachelorette’.

Indeed, during that training period, Aaron openly confessed to reporters, “To tell the truth, I haven’t watched the series yet, so its impact on me has been relatively minimal.”

Instead, he added, “I’ve often felt it’s somewhat private to discuss certain family topics in public. Therefore, I won’t delve into those subjects. However, I hope he fares well in the competition.”

Over the years, Aaron has continued to value his family’s private life away from the public eye, as he and Jordan have maintained a distance following Jordan’s journey on The Bachelorette.

According to what Ian writes in the book, “Aaron stated that due to his past of not addressing his family rifts, he has been troubled over time by the occasional disclosure or remark from a relative. He expressed a desire for the same level of respect he had given his parents and siblings.”

As an ardent admirer, let me express my curiosity: “I’m puzzled by their constant chatter on the subject, it’s reminiscent of a high-stakes poker game.” You see, when one possesses all the information, there’s no need for deception. Their words hold little weight compared to the hard facts at hand.
