Aaron Rodgers reunites with family after years-long estrangement: ‘Bonding’

Aaron Rodgers reunited with his estranged family members after years apart. The NFL player posted intimate photos from “another bonding week” with his loved ones via Instagram on Monday. The athlete, 42, ended the caption with the hashtag “fam.” aaronrodgers12/Instagram aaronrodgers12/Instagram The quarterback was all smiles standing with his mom, Darla Rodgers, on a driveway, their arms around each other in the first slide. The carousel continued with Aaron and dad Ed Rodgers posing in the same location. Subsequent shots showed the Pittsburgh Steelers player sitting on a couch with brother Luke Rodgers and helping him put together a child’s toy. aaronrodgers12/Instagram aaronrodgers12/Instagram Want more celebrity and pop culture news?

Aaron and Luke’s younger brother, Jordan Rodgers, did not appear in the pictures. Jordan, notably, is married to Season 12 “Bachelorette” lead JoJo Fletcher, and the couple share a 6-month-old daughter named Romy. aaronrodgers12/Instagram © New York Post Also absent from the headline-making post was Aaron’s mystery wife, Brittani, whose identity he has not shared since confirming their nuptials last year. Aaron’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment. The timing of Aaron’s apparent reconciliation with his mother, father and older brother are unclear. During the decade-plus that Aaron has spent estranged from his family, he spoke about the source of the rift — most recently, on his 2024 Netflix docuseries. Robert Sabo for NY Post Robert Sabo for NY Post In “Aaron Rodgers: Enigma,” the professional football player blamed some of the tension on his parents’ devout Christian beliefs. “I felt like the love that I was modeled growing up, it’s kind of a merit-based spirituality,” he said. “If you don’t believe you deserve that love, it’s hard for you to give it, and it’s sure as hell hard for you to receive it.” He claimed to have never been “super duper close” with anyone in his family — besides Jordan, 37, who he became “distant” from due to “stuff from high school … stuff in college, stuff post-college.” Community Guidelines Welcome to the Page Six Community!
