Breaking: Jets QB Aaron Rodgers says long-running rumors about his family are untrue.
Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the New York Jets, is among the greatest players in NFL history. Among the most contentious is him as well. Because of his views on politics and current affairs, Rodgers has frequently been in the spotlight, which has drawn criticism of him personally and charges that he is a distraction in the locker room.
Sadly, arguments about politics and other social issues frequently turn into personal assaults. Rodgers and the media/fans are both at fault for this behavior.
One of the things Rodgers is frequently criticized for is his lack of ties to his family, with whom he hasn’t communicated in years.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets and His Family Had a falling out.
Although the precise reason behind Rodgers’ rift with his family remains unknown, each party has held the other accountable for the breakdown in their relationship. Aaron Rodgers’ brother Jordan raised awareness of the problem while he was a contestant on The Bachelorette.
He said to JoJo Fletcher, “It hurts for both of us not to have that relationship.” “Our brother is missed. All we can do is hope that God completes the picture. and simply hope that everything will simply return to us as a family.
Ed Rodgers, the father of NFL player Aaron Rodgers, attributed the rift to his son’s celebrity, telling The New York Times that “fame can change things.”
The four-time NFL MVP and potential Hall of Famer has acknowledged that he hasn’t spoken to his family since 2014, but he hasn’t really talked about their relationship.
Fans and the media have speculated about the possible reason for their split as neither side has disclosed it.
The Quarterback Conflict with His Family at the New York Jets Has Long Been Attributed to Oliva Munn
Before their 2017 breakup, Rodgers dated actress Olivia Munn for three years. Numerous people attributed the quarterback’s relationship with Munn for the rift, even though he was already at odds with his family.
It was well known that Munn and Rodgers shared housing while they were together, something his devoutly conservative Christian parents undoubtedly found objectionable.
But as previously noted, by the time Rodgers began dating the actress, he and his family had already fallen out.
Munn had actually attempted to mend their broken relationship, rather than being the reason behind it.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets confirms that the rumors about his family involving Olivia Munn are untrue.
When Rodgers started dating Munn, he had not spoken to his family in eight months. She made an effort to persuade him to talk to them after they started dating in order to begin the healing process.
In 2018, Munn had told Andy Cohen, “They had a nice conversation and then they started coming out my first year when I was in Green Bay in 2014.”
The book Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers by Ian O’Connor will be available on bookstore shelves on August 20. Rodgers affirms in the book that he did not get his family’s discord from Munn. Rather, there is a much deeper reason behind their broken connection.
In the book, he expresses his desire to start the process of reestablishing a relationship with his father in particular:
Regarding his reunion with his father during a golf tournament last year, he is cited as stating, “I think that was what needed to happen.” “That was a unique occasion.”
“Weird things happen every time I think it’s coming closer. However, I really would like to have a relationship with my father.
