NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers seemingly likes keeping a low profile off the field. A factor for maintaining privacy might be his public feud with brother Jordan Rodgers. The former Bachelorette contestant, Jordan, seems to have had a tense relationship with his brother Aaron over the years.

Nearly 4 years ago, in November 2018, Aaron Rodgers expressed his desire in a video to donate $1 million to the California wildfire relief efforts. After seeing this, Jordan publicly went ahead and slammed his older brother while outing the supposed hypocrisy in his actions.
He was quick to hit back on Twitter, stating, “PLEASE DONATE, SPREAD AWARENESS & SEND LOVE. But when your Mom is home alone during the fires, car packed ready to evacuate, & you miss the fundamental first step of compassion; calling your parents to make sure they are safe…. Everything else just feels like an act.”
It doesn’t seem like Jordan cares much about how public their feud has ended up becoming. While the Packers QB has never publicized his feelings, Jordan used their feud as a plot point during his 2016 ‘The Bachelorette’ appearance. In the same year, Aaron addressed his problems with Jordan in an interview with WISN 12 Sports’ Stephanie Sutton. He refused to talk negatively about his brother.
