Aaron Rodgers made it clear Wednesday that he has no plans to live a “public life” with his mystery wife, citing immense media scrutiny over his past relationships with high-profile women.
The NFL star previously dated actresses Olivia Munn and Shailene Woodley and former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. Rodgers and Woodley got engaged in 2021, but canceled their wedding plans in 2022 and then split.

Rodgers lashed out at his previous girlfriends during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” although he didn’t mention any of them by name. He said that when he met his wife, she didn’t want to date an athlete and moved abroad.
“I went into a crazy city and was with people who called the paparazzi, who leaked or talked about where I lived, who made me make the proverbial posts on Instagram and social media,” he said. “I never really wanted to live a public life. If you look at the saga with my family, for years it was one-sided. They were taking shots at the media saying nonsense—. I never said anything until it got to the point that, okay, enough is enough… I’m not a social media guy anymore.”
“The narratives have gotten a little ridiculous,” he continued. “For some of them, I just want to tell them to move on. It’s been years and years and years. I’ve dealt with clinically depressed bipolar people who are looking for relevance, I’ve dealt with people who wanted to pursue other possibilities before they could commit to me and then they’re on TV talking about how I ruined their lives and all this s—.
“And I just want to say, move on with your life. Stop lying about me. Just move on with your life and be happy. It’s not just them, but other people in the media feel like they have this relevance that they have to mention my name. I’m not looking for relevance. I’m not looking for attention.”

Rodgers added that when his playing career is over, “they won’t see me.”
“I’m not going to do television… I’m not going to be away from home.”
The four-time MVP also dismissed those seeking to discover who his wife is, calling the issue “very strange.” Earlier in the interview he said the media frenzy caused him to move out of his home in Malibu, California.

Rodgers has only said that his wife’s name is Brittani. The two started dating in December 2024 and got married sometime in 2025. She said that she is a person who does not want to be in the public spotlight and is happy with the possibility of leaving public life as well.
