Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is among the most talented NFL players in league history. But similarly to all of his fans, the reigning league MVP also has a surprising celebrity crush on this popular TV host. Among the very best television hosts is comedian and producer Ellen DeGeneres, who Rodgers admits to being his ultimate crush.

The revelations became public in 2011 following Rodgers’ admission during a media presser during Super Bowl XLV week. He was quoted stating, “I said my celebrity crush was Taylor Swift, just because I couldn’t think of anything else. But I have to revise that today. Ellen is a big fan of mine, so I’ll change it. My celebrity crush is Ellen.”
While it was intriguing for some NFL fans, the mutual admiration, and respect for each other is real. The Packers’ QB also visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show following Super Bowl XLV. He gifted the popular TV host his autographed jersey with a lovely message. While DeGeneres milked his statements before their interview segment, it was a very heart-warming segment between the pair.
Aaron Rodgers and his complicated personal life
The Packers QB has a very A-list dating history and has been in relationships with some high-profile names. Among the few popular women in his life include popular race car driver Danica Patrick, actresses Shailene Woodley, Jessica Szohr, and Olivia Munn, and model Kelly Rohrbach. While all of his relationships began in a promising fashion, Rodgers continues to remain focused only on winning football games.
His love for the game was a driving force in his split from ex-fiancee Woodley in February 2022. The dedication of Rodgers to football and his unwillingness to give attention to his partner was a crucial reason for their break-up.
While the pair seem to have moved on, Rodgers will be focussing on the upcoming NFL campaign.
