Rodgers Details Marriage and Makes Claims About Exes

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers offered new details about his marriage to Brittani and delivered uncorroborated allegations about his past relationships with Shailene Woodley and Danica Patrick during an appearance on the Not Just Football podcast, hosted by teammate Cam Heyward, on Thursday, September 10, 2026. Rodgers said he first met Brittani in 2017 in Texas, where she had attended the University of Texas and was living in Austin. According to Rodgers, she was preparing to return to Europe when they met, and he described not asking her to stay as his biggest regret. He said her departure left him emotionally unavailable for the following seven to eight years, during which he dated Patrick from 2018 to 2020 and became engaged to Woodley. Rodgers said Brittani was engaged to someone else at one point before the two reconnected and eloped in 2025. He first publicly revealed the marriage in June 2025, and has credited Brittani with helping him reconcile with his estranged parents and with his decision to make the 2026 season his last in the NFL. Rodgers also gave a sharply different account of his engagement to Woodley.
