The Pittsburgh Steelers made headlines Tuesday with the arrival of their newest team member, Aaron Charles Rodgers. But perhaps the biggest surprise wasn’t his new contract — it was the confirmation that Rodgers is now a married man.
Rumors had been swirling since last week, when Rodgers was seen wearing a black ring on his left hand while signing his one-year deal with the Steelers. On Tuesday, during a news conference, he addressed the speculation.
“Yes, it’s a wedding ring,” Rodgers said casually, adding that he’s been married “for a couple of months now.”
Details about his spouse remain scarce. Rodgers previously mentioned a girlfriend named Brittani during a December appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, but it’s unclear if she is the woman he recently married.
Rodgers has been keeping a low profile over the past few months, leaving fans and the Steelers in suspense about his plans for the upcoming NFL season. He cited personal matters as the reason for the delay, revealing in a May episode of The Joe Rogan Experience that a close friend or family member is battling cancer.
Rodgers’ personal life has long drawn media attention. Over the years, he has been romantically linked to actress Olivia Munn, race car driver Danica Patrick, and was once engaged to actress Shailene Woodley.
Now, with a new team and a new chapter in his personal life, Rodgers is making headlines once again — both on and off the field.
