New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed he has a new girlfriend -- though he provided few details about his mysterious new romance after years of dating A-list celebrities, athletes, and heiresses.
Rodgers made the surprise announcement in an interview on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday. The quarterback slipped the detail in while talking about Christmas gift shopping, mentioning that he does most of his shopping online these days.
"I was a little bit worried, there was one package left for my girlfriend, Brittani, that hadn't showed up yet," Rodgers said, as McAfee's eyebrows shot up and jaw dropped at the surprise.
But the four-time MVP winning quarterback offered few details about his new love interest -- only confirming that she was "not Britney Spears, this is Brittani with an I." He did not give any details about her last name, or any other clues as to her identity.
"She doesn't watch the show, she doesn't have social media," Rodgers told McAfee, but then claimed "but she's a fan of you, I think."
McAfee and his cohost couldn't help but mock the New York Jet. "We just learned that Aaron's in love!" McAfee said.
"It's a good feeling boys," Rodgers replied.
Rodgers, who was first drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2005, has had numerous high profile relationships in the past. He dated actress Olivia Munn from 2014 through 2017, then former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick from 2018 through 2020. After their breakup, rumors began circulating that he was dating actress Shailene Woodley.
Rodgers announced his engagement to the Big Little Lies actress while accepting his third NFL Most Valuable Player award in 2021. The couple called off their engagement about one year after the surprise announcement.
Rodgers was most recently rumored to be casually dating Mallory Eden, the daughter of Wes Eden, the billionaire owner of the Milwaukee Bucks.
"It's more than friends, but it's casual," a source told People magazine, confirming the rumors in early 2023. However, they also described the relationship as "low-key" and "nothing serious at all."
