After he just made the shocking revelation that he had secretly married a lady whose name is still unknown, Aaron Rodgers spent around four minutes of his regularly planned appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday attacking rumors that he has created a phony marriage and a fake wife.
Isn’t this a sick society? The 41-year-old NFL quarterback started his diatribe by saying, “I had public relationships and lived in the spotlight for 20 years,” according to the Daily Mail. He was undoubtedly alluding to his previous well-publicized relationships with NASCAR driver Danica Patrick and actors Olivia Munn and Shailene Woodley.
Rodgers, the former Green Bay Packers star who recently signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, added, “I’m with someone who’s private who doesn’t want to be in the public eye, didn’t sign up to be in the public eye, doesn’t want to be a celebrity.” Additionally, I am strange and the paparazzi are following me because I prefer to keep my personal life private and do things in secret.
Here, Rodgers might be alluding to reporters from magazines like the Daily Mail who might have been pursuing him while searching via public records in several states for his marriage license. The Daily Mail reported this week that, other from a black band on the third finger of his left hand, there is no obvious evidence of Rodgers’ marriage.
Following his first practice with the Steelers earlier this month, Rodgers announced his marriage. After being seen wearing the band on his finger, the Chico-raised four-time MVP revealed to reporters that he had discreetly been married a few months prior.
However, Rodgers did not elaborate on the ceremony or his unidentified wife. Fans conjectured that his bride might be Brittani, the new girlfriend he mentioned in passing on The Pat McAfee Show in December. Other than saying that he had ordered a Christmas present for her online and was worried it wouldn’t arrive in time, he didn’t say much else about her at the time.
According to the Daily Mail, its reporters looked for proof of a marriage certificate in the Pennsylvania county where Rodgers is supposed to currently reside. However, a clerk at the county courthouse stated that there isn’t a record of that kind. The Daily Mail was also informed by county officials in Las Vegas, a popular location for short celebrity nuptials, that there was no documentation of Rodgers’ marriage there this year.
It appears that the Daily Mail’s search was not very thorough, considering that there are approximately 3,100 counties in the US. However, the UK tabloid reportedly claimed to have heard from a number of people who doubted the wedding actually took place. Family members and friends who were taken aback by the marriage announcement are among these sources.
According to an individual who spoke to the Daily Mail, Jordan Rodgers, the brother of Rodgers, and his wife, JoJo Fletcher, did not attend any weddings and have no genuine knowledge of Brittani.
The insider informed the Daily Mail that everything they have heard is secondhand from his parents. Some family members believe that Rodgers and his mystery bride arranged a symbolic commitment ceremony rather than a legal wedding, which is why they believe the marriage isn’t real.
Jordan Rodgers and other family members, including their parents, were not invited to a wedding, which the Daily Mail had to admit was not surprising. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be shocking if they knew very little about Rodgers’ new mystery girlfriend. Rodgers has, after all, been infamously distant from his family for the past ten or so years.
In an interview with McAfee, the former Super Bowl champion stated that his family would not be aware of his private life or his new marriage because he doesn’t communicate with them.
What happened to the ordinary sense of personal life and security? Angry at the implication that he faked getting married to attract attention, Rodgers remarked to McAfee.
We now need to delve into specifics like where you live, what you’re doing, who you’re with, who your wife is, if you have one at all, and whether you’re doing this (as) a way to attract attention, Rodgers stated. My wife doesn’t use social media since she is a private person.
Additionally, Rodgers clarified that he didn’t want to follow the other NFL players’ practice of posting updates about their weddings or engagements on social media. These athletes’ more well-known spouses have also delighted in having their nuptials highlighted in Vogue and other publications, such influencer Olivia Culpo, who is married to Christian McAffrey of the San Francisco 49ers.
“I’m with someone who wants to be private, and if and when she wants to be out and there’s a picture, she’ll choose that,” Rodgers stated. “My private life is my private life and it’s going to stay that way.”
