NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers is no stranger to the spotlight, both on and off the field. While his glittering profile features prestigious MVP awards, a Super Bowl ring, and an iconic career with teams like the Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets, Rodgers’ personal life has also frequently landed him in the headlines, thanks to his string of high-profile relationships with celebrities.
Most recently, Rodgers has sparked renewed interest after confirming that he secretly tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Brittani. Unlike his famous exes, Brittani prefers to stay out of the limelight, with no public social media presence and no appearances on Rodgers’ profiles. Still, the contrast between his low-key marriage and his headline-making dating history has fans curious once again. Despite his track record of dating actresses and athletes, Rodgers has always maintained that he values his privacy, and it aligns with his new chapter in life.
With confirmation of his secret marriage, fans are once again interested in Rodgers’ high-profile dating timeline. From red carpet appearances and whirlwind romances to deeply emotional breakups and an engagement that nearly led to marriage, here’s a complete timeline of the women who have been linked to the Super Bowl champ over the years.
Destiny Newton: Aaron Rodgers’ first love before attaining fame
Before he became a household name, Aaron Rodgers dated Destiny Newton, his long-time friend since childhood. She was reportedly his first love, whom he met at a church camp, and they remained close for nearly a decade before dating in 2011. Their relationship quietly ended somewhere around 2013 when Rodgers’ fame skyrocketed as an NFL star.
Aaron’s rumoured romance with Jessica Szohr
Aaron Rodgers was briefly linked to Gossip Girl fame Jessica Szohr in 2011 and again in 2014, after his breakup with Destiny. Even though neither of them ever went official on the red carpet, they were spotted together multiple times, especially at a bowling night with Taylor Swift, fuelling plenty of speculation. The actress even attended Rodgers’ birthday bash in 2017, reigniting buzz around a post-romance rapport.
Aaron Rodgers’ first public love with actress Olivia Munn sparked family drama
One of Rodgers’ first prominent high-profile relationships was with Hollywood actress Olivia Munn, whom he dated from 2014 to 2017. It was a public romance, and they made a debut as a couple at the ACM Awards. Munn later claimed in an interview that she helped the NFL star reconnect with his then-estranged family.
However, while Munn gushed about Rodgers being ‘everything a good person can be,’ tabloids alleged that it was the actress who had instead contributed to his family rift. Regardless, the Super Bowl star eventually clarified that his family’s issues had nothing to do with her.
Aaron’s brief dating buzz with Kelly Rohrbach
In 2017, rumours were rife that Rodgers was dating Baywatch actress and Sports Illustrated model Kelly Rohrbach when they were spotted playing golf together. However, sources were to shut down the rumours, clarifying that they were ‘just friends.’
Rodgers’ dating life with Danica Patrick
Yes, we are talking about the NASCAR racing icon, Danica Patrick. The sports icons began officially dating in 2018, but their friendship dated back to the 2012 ESPYs. Their relationship was going strong for two years, and they became known as a power couple. The duo often flaunted their love by sharing sweet tributes and going on romantic vacations. They had even spent a whopping 28 million US dollars on a Malibu home together.
Despite their serious relationship, Aaron and Danica never got engaged and split in July 2020. Post-breakup, both looked back at their relationship with gratitude. The former couple later reflected on their relationship with gratitude; Patrick said the heartbreak opened her up to ‘joy,’ while Rodgers credited her with deepening his spiritual journey.
Aaron Rodgers’ engagement with Shailene Woodley
Months after his breakup with Danica Patrick, Aaron Rodgers surprised fans by announcing his engagement to The Fault in Our Stars actress Shailene Woodley, just days after confirming their dating buzz. Their whirlwind romance escalated fast during the pandemic.
Fans were excited about the duo’s potential marriage, but soon, their relationship hit a dead end. Their diverging lifestyles and political differences took a toll, and they parted ways in April 2022. After their split, Woodley had described the experience as a time of deep heartbreak.
Aaron Rodgers’ courtside romance with Mallory Edens
In early 2023, the Super Bowl star was briefly linked to Mallory Edens, the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens. Even after multiple appearances together at NBA games, their relationship was more on casual terms, and it eventually fizzled out.
Brittani: Aaron Rodgers’ quiet, serious relationship, away from the spotlight
After years of emotional turbulence, Aaron Rodgers finally found his footing with a non-celebrity. The sports icon took fans by surprise in December 2024 when he casually mentioned a new girlfriend, Brittani (with an ‘i’), on The Pat McAfee Show. When asked whether he was in love with her, Rodgers cheekily remarked with a smile:
“It’s a good feeling, boys. It is.”
A big shift from his high-profile dating history, Aaron found Brittani, someone who avoids social media and doesn’t want to stay in the limelight. By April 2025, the NFL superstar confirmed that their relationship was serious.
Rumours of a secret wedding sparked when Rodgers was seen wearing a ring at the 2025 Kentucky Derby. While he hasn’t publicly confirmed the marriage, several insiders suggest the quarterback has finally found stability away from the spotlight. And finally, on July 26, 2025, Andrew confirmed that he had indeed gotten married to Brittani a few months ago.
Over the years, Aaron Rodgers’ journey in love has gone from public red carpet moments to private contentment. Now officially married, the quarterback appears settled after years of high-profile romances, suggesting he’s finally found lasting peace and a true home.
