As NFL great Rodgers turns 40, we look back over the New York Jets and former Green Bay Packers quarterback’s dating history.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers turned 40 on Saturday, as he continues his recovery from a torn Achilles tendon.
Having moved to the Big Apple from the Green Bay Packers in the summer, Rodgers suffered the injury on his debut for the Jets. The four-time NFL MVP has not ruled out making a comeback before the end of the regular season, telling AP this week that “anything’s possible” when asked if he could return in time for the Week 16 clash with the Washington Commanders on Christmas Eve.
To mark Rodgers’ landmark birthday, we’ve taken a look back at the major milestones in the NFL legend’s dating history.
Jessica Szohr
According to People magazine, Rodgers and the actor Jessica Szohr had a brief romance in 2011. Although they never made their relationship official, they were caught on camera looking lovey-dovey on several occasions. The pair clearly ended on good terms; in 2017, the Gossip Girl star was in attendance at Rodger’s birthday party.
Olivia Munn
Rodgers and Munn began a long-term relationship in 2014, having met when they presented a prize together at the Academy of Country Music Awards. The Newsroom actor later admitted that she didn’t know who Rodgers was when she first encountered him, but felt a strong physical attraction to the football player. There was talk of wedding bells for Rodgers and Munn, but the pair broke up in 2017.
Kelly Rohrbach
Rodgers didn’t long to move on from Munn. Within months of the end of their relationship, the former Packers star began to spend a lot of time with the Sports Illustrated swimwear model Kelly Rohrbach. However, they never publicly confirmed that they were together.
Danica Patrick
Rodgers embarked on a romance with Danica Patrick, a former racing driver, in January 2018. By the following year, the couple were house-hunting together. They don’t appear to have enjoyed a successful cohabitation, though: in June 2020, it was announced that they had parted ways.
Shailene Woodley
Rodgers’ time with Shailene Woodley was, without doubt, one of his very highest-profile relationships. He began dating the Big Little Lies actor in early 2021, and before long the pair had not only moved into together, but had got engaged. In February 2022, however, they called off the wedding.
Mallory Edens
In January 2023, a source close to Rodgers revealed to People magazine that he had got together with Mallory Edens, an internet personality and model who is a long-time friend of the quarterback. “It’s more than friends, but it’s casual. Nothing serious at all,” the insider said. “He’s not looking to rush into anything. It’s low-key for now.”
