Aaron Rodgers, the NFL quarterback with as many on-field touchdowns as his love life, is back in the news—but not for a game-winning catch. Rodgers is grabbing eyes, be it due to his blindingly fast catches, obscure remarks about retirement or, lately, his romance. The NFL star blew everyone away in late 2024. when he revealed his new love interest during a 2024 appearance as Rodgers put it, “It’s different this time. She’s just real, not about the fame or clout.” And just like that, a mystery was born.

Rodgers might be closed about his new girl but his former girlfriend Mallory Edens is not afraid to speak her mind. The model and Princeton graduate, who briefly but notably dated Rodgers in 2023, has maintained her public profile with a biting social commentary. She recently posted on Instagram an inspiring vignette inspired by Demi Moore’s talk about how Hollywood is treating women over 35. It denounced how women’s power is degraded through language—and specifically, by female se–ality to make it a matter of parity in critical achievement.

She also mentioned that this was a textbook misogyny: “Like all misogyny, it’s language designed to limit a woman’s power. For women, commercial success is often weaponized against critical value, with female sexuality used to justify this divide” Edens wrote on her story, urging women over 40 to come together and regain control. Fans couldn’t resist speculating—was it a dig at Rodgers’ big love life? The timing was a little too right, after all.

But Rodgers? He’s staying away from the drama. His ex is taking social media to the next level for some social commentary, but he’s quiet and working on his new love.

Aaron Rodgers’ dating history: The game plan for high-end exes

Aaron Rodgers, too, is a longtime fixture not only in NFL highlights but also on tabloid news. The quarterback has dated some of Hollywood and beyond’s most famous names over the years, from actress Olivia Munn to racing star Danica Patrick to actress Shailene Woodley (with whom he briefly got engaged). He had a quieter affair with Mallory Edens, though. The two began dating in early 2023, but by the end of the year, the affair had come and gone without fanfare.

When questioned about the split from Edens, Rodgers gave the characteristic mixture of evasion and reflection. “Relationships teach you a lot—about yourself, about what you want,” he stated in late 2023. Rodgers and Edens never got into the details of the breakup, but Edens’ Instagram posts after the break seemed to suggest self-actualization and social commentary. But as she’s continued to build a platform for social change, she’s fast getting known for much more than her previous relationship with Rodgers.

And then there’s Brittani, Rodgers’ new mysterious woman. There’s no glitter, media hoopla, drama. Fans are left guessing who Brittani is, but there is no doubt about one thing: Rodgers intends to keep this sleeve of his personal life private. But, who is Brittani, well it remains a mystery for now. But with Rodgers on board, we can bet the drama is far from over.
