His tattoo and cosplaying of Nick Gage also became the focus of the public eye.
The Green Bay Packers QB is not that guy who often makes an appearance. Seeing him speaking out is rare, and that makes the recent ‘Aubrey Marcus Podcast’ special. Aaron Rodgers makes an appearance and speaks about his family relations. He believes in a potential reconciliation with his family after years of separation.
Aaron Rodgers mentions, “So I do believe in healing. I believe in the possibility of reconciliation at some point, but it’s a different journey for all of us. And to judge on the outside about what should be or what it should look like or who’s wrong and who’s right, it’s just a game I’ve never wanted to play and still don’t want to play.”
Interestingly, as per PEOPLE, Jordan and Aaron Rodgers are again on ‘talking terms’ after years of their familial rift. However, there still seems to be a division. Aaron also stated in 2018 that he had spent his birthday with his family members, implying a relaxation in their connection.
