Aaron Rodgers gives rare insight into 'serious relationship' with mystery girlfriend
By ISABEL BALDWIN
Aaron Rodgers finally resurfaced this week as he broke his silence on his mindset as his NFL free agency continues.
The quarterback took to the Pat McAfee show to address the speculation shrouding his NFL future as he provided a rare insight into his personal life.
'I'll set it all straight. From the jump, I'm in a different phase of my life, I'm 41 years old, I'm in a serious relationship, I have personal commitments I've made... and people in my inner circle battling difficult stuff. To make a commitment to a team is a big thing,' the four-time MVP confessed.
Rodgers hit the free agency market after the New York Jets cut ties back in February following a disappointing 2024 campaign.
There had been great deliberation over what the quarterback's future could hold. It had been reported that Rodgers was holding out to land with a team with genuine postseason chances with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants all floated as options.

Meanwhile, retirement had also been mooted as another option for the 41-year-old after the Jets ended the season with a 5-12 record.
Yet, even after two months of radio silence, the signal caller still didn't have an answer.
Rodgers did appear to suggest he was willing to play on but also refused to rule out the possibility of hanging his cleats up.
'I told every single one of the teams, it ain't about the money. I said I'll play for $10M. Whatever,' he said.
'I'm open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility. Focus on personal life.'
Rodgers is notoriously tight-lipped on his private life but did reveal back in December that he had found love.
He told McAfee and the rest of the crew that he has a new girlfriend named Brittani, though he did not go into any further details on who she is or how they met.
Rodgers was discussing buying Christmas presents for loved ones when he casually dropped in that he is dating again.
'I was a little bit worried because there was one package left for my girlfriend Brittani that hadn't showed up yet, so I'd been waiting on this to show up,' he said on ESPN's daily sports talk show. 'It showed up today so everything is great now.'
After laughing off a joke from a member of the crew that he's dating Britney Spears, Rodgers confirmed that his girlfriend's name is the version spelt with an 'i'.
He revealed that his new love interest is not on any social-media channels after joking that she probably doesn't watch McAfee's show despite being a fan of the ESPN host.
