One of Aaron Rodgers’ ex-girlfriends shared a powerful message on Instagram after the star quarterback revealed that he recently tied the knot.

A week after signing his one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Aaron Rodgers arrived at mandatory minicamp for his first practices with his new team. On Tuesday, Rodgers confirmed to reporters that he got married “a couple of months” ago.

The identity of Rodgers’ wife isn’t clear. All we know is that he said on “The Pat McAfee Show” back in December that he had a relationship with a woman named Brittani. Though many assume that’s his wife, other details (such as how they met and how long they’ve been together) aren’t known.

Aaron Rodgers was previously in relationships with actresses Shailene Woodley and Olivia Munn and former race car driver Danica Patrick. He was also linked to Mallory Edens, the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks co-owners Wes Edens.

Per The Times of India, Edens shared the following message on her Instagram story after news of Aaron Rodgers’ marriage came to light:

“Tracking down somebody’s cellphone number, calling them at all hours of the day and asking for a comment on a gossip magazine story isn’t journalism, it’s really just harassment. If we work together and you can’t reach me, I’m sorry — please shoot me an email and I can share my new number.”

Rodgers and Edens reportedly saw each other in early 2023, though it’s unclear how serious their relationship was. The four-time league MVP has owned a minority stake in the Bucks since 2018.

Aaron Rodgers Makes His Steelers Debut On Sept. 7 vs. New York Jets

The 41-year-old Rodgers will make his first start as a Steeler on Sept. 7, when Pittsburgh visits the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. It will be a juicy revenge game for Rodgers, who had a forgettable two-year tenure with the Jets that prompted the organization to release him and sign Justin Fields.

Houston Texans star Azeez Al-Shaair has admitted regrets over his illegal hit to Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the ensuing brawl between the teams in a lengthy statement on social media.  

Al-Shaair’s statement comes as his three-game suspension as a result of the incident has ended and he is slated to return to the field for the Texans on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

On December 1, an Al-Shaair hit to the head of a sliding and defenseless Lawrence caused chaos in Jacksonville. The defensive back needed to be restrained by several coaches and Lawrence has not played since taking the barbaric contact.

‘While so many jumped at the first opportunity to hop on the false narrative – that l’m a dirty player or bad person – the messages from all who stood by me were the only things keeping me mentally afloat during a time of isolation,’ Al-Shaair said on social media.

‘I’ve learned so much from this entire experience. Seeing myself on video – letting my emotions get the best of me to the point where I completely lost it – was an embarrassing and eye-opening moment for me.’

‘I’ve had to earn everything in my life. I never want to allow anyone to get me to a point where I jeopardize everything that I’ve worked all my life to obtain. That was not the way I want to represent myself or my family and I will continue to learn and grow from that moment.’

Al-Shaair said during his three-game ban, he met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league executives for the first time, taking issue with how he was characterized in the official announcement of his suspension.

The defender said he thought his character and integrity were ‘unjustifiably smeared’ in the release but the meeting with Goodell and others was ‘productive’ and gave him hope it would not happen again.

‘In that conversation – man-to-man – I owned and acknowledged that my actions following my ejection were careless and, in that moment, I didn’t think about the responsibility I have been blessed with to represent the shield,’ Al-Shaair continued.

‘I also stated that the letter, and specifically the language used in the letter, was equally as careless and conveyed that the context of the words used were not a reflection of my character, nor my career, as I have not been warned multiple times for my play on the field.’

Al-Shaair’s hit on Lawrence was not the only controversial incident he was involved in this season.

During the Texans’ game against the Bears in September, he punched Roschon Johnson, who wasn’t even in the game at the time of another sideline confrontation.

Al-Shaair ended his statement by saying his view is that everyone in the league office and on the field are on the same team to represent the NFL in the best nature possible, something he failed to do earlier this month.

‘Lastly, I’ll say that this world is full of negative people who can’t wait to tear you down, but if you move with love and compassion, the seeds of good you planted in others’ lives can grow into the very tree that shades you with comfort and compassion when you need it most,’ Al-Shaair concluded.

‘I am a man of God, I am a leader, a warrior and a lover. I am also a hell of a football player and I’m grateful to be back doing what I love.’
