14 february 2025 в 15:13
Aaron Rodgers' love life is just as interesting as his football statistics. The quarterback, who joined the Green Bay Packers in 2005 and became the starting quarterback in 2008, has spent most of his life in the spotlight, leading to relationships with many celebrities. From his public relationships with Olivia Munn to his time spent with Danica Patrick and his brief engagement to Shailene Woodley, Aaron has plenty of dating stories to look back on.
In 2023, Aaron Rodgers began the next chapter of his career by signing a contract with the New York Jets, as he announced in an interview in March. However, just two years later, the team and Aaron parted ways, as confirmed by head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mugi on February 13, 2025.
According to the Jets' Instagram account, the statement read: «Last week, we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at the quarterback position. It was important to have this conversation now to provide clarity and give each of us enough time to plan for our future actions. We want to thank him for the leadership, passion, and dedication he brought to the organization, and wish him success in the future».
As Aaron contemplates his next steps on and off the field, let’s take a look at his romantic history.
One of Aaron’s first major romances as a famous athlete was with his longtime friend and lover, Destiny Newton. They began dating in 2011, after being «best friends for nine years» and meeting «at a church camp», - Destiny’s mom told Radar Online almost a decade ago. She added, «They are very happy together, and our family loves him». Their love story seemed to end in 2013, as reports of their breakup began to surface.
Although these relationships were never confirmed, it was widely believed that Aaron was dating Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr. Rumors of their relationship first surfaced in 2011, and then, according to Us Weekly, they «rekindled over the holidays» between December 2013 and January 2014.
One of Aaron’s most famous romances was with the Predator star Olivia Munn. They dated for almost three years, from 2014 to 2017, but not without some drama. Aaron’s father, Ed Rodgers, revealed that his son had not spoken to the family since 2014 — the same year the NFL star began dating Olivia — saying that «fame can change things» in an interview with The New York Times published in January 2017.
Olivia was accused of being the reason for this rift. She finally denied these rumors, appearing on Andy Cohen’s radio show on SiriusXM in May 2018. «On my last day of shooting Newsroom, I spent it in my trailer, trying to convince [Aaron] to have an honest conversation with his parents», - Olivia recalled. She wanted the reconciliation to happen — which finally did on Aaron’s birthday in December 2018.
Upon learning that Aaron had reconciled with his parents, Olivia told TMZ Sports: «Oh my God, if that’s true, that’s amazing. It’s about time»
