Aaron Rodgers is a married man.
The new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback attended his first day of training for the team wearing a wedding band on his ring finger, after months of speculation that he had tied the knot.
When reporters pointed out the ring, Rodgers went on to confirm the news, telling the media that he got married ‘a couple of months’ ago and he was in fact wearing a wedding ring.
The former New York Jets quarterback first sparked marriage rumors at the Kentucky Derby last month, where he was also spotted wearing a wedding ring.
Prior to that, he appeared as a guest on The Pat McAfee Show in April, where he discussed his personal life, including being in a “serious relationship.”
“I’ll set it all straight. From the jump, I’m in a different phase of my life, I’m 41 years old, I’m in a serious relationship, I have personal commitments I’ve made not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year, that are important to me,” the former Green Bay Packers quarterback said.
“To make a commitment to a team is a big thing.”
He previously addressed the relationship during a separate appearance on McAfee’s show in December 2024, telling co-host A.J. Hawk about a stressful situation regarding a package for someone named Brittani, not arriving on time.
“I was a little bit worried because there was one package left for my girlfriend Brittani that hadn’t showed up yet, so I’d been waiting on this to show up,” he said at the time.
Hawk responded by laughing, asking if the quarterback meant Britney Spears. “Not Britney Spears, no, this is Brittani with an ‘i,’” Rodgers responded. Everyone on the show then began teasing Rodgers over his relationship with Brittani, telling him he was “in love.”
“It’s a good feeling, boys. It is,” the football player confirmed.
Fans are assuming Brittani is the woman he married, though the two have largely remained private, and there is no presence of her on Rodgers’ social media accounts.
The news comes after Rodgers agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Steelers last week. He had been released from his contract with the Jets in February, followed by months of uncertainty regarding where he would go next, with retirement not being off the table.
Rodgers’s football career has reportedly affected his relationships before. He was previously engaged to Big Little Lies actor Shailene Woodley before the nuptials were called off in 2022 after two years together. According to InTouch, a source claimed that the actor was concerned Rodgers’s football career was coming “first” before their engagement.
Woodley, who is currently rumored to be dating Emily in Paris star Lucas Bravo, spoke out about the aftermath of her breakup with Rodgers, admitting in 2024 that she was still healing from a “broken heart.”
