Aaron Rodgers has returned to the Pittsburgh Steelers for his 22nd NFL season sporting his wedding band.
Days after signing a one-year contract worth an estimated $25 million, Rodgers, 42, was photographed on Monday, May 18, on the practice field with the Steelers. In the images, Rodgers donned a black wedding band on his left hand.
Nearly one year prior, Rodgers made headlines when he announced he was married. In June 2025, Rodgers told reporters it occurred “a couple of months ago.”
While Rodgers has not publicly revealed the identity of his wife, the quarterback did share during a December 2024 appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show that he was dating a woman named Brittani.
“I used to enjoy a little outing over to the Bay Park mall in Wisconsin every now and then, but I actually ordered all of [my Christmas gifts] online this year,” Rodgers said at the time. “I was a little worried because there was one package left for my girlfriend, Brittani, that hadn’t showed up yet. So I’ve been waiting on this to show up and it showed up today.”
When Rodgers’ former teammate and Pat McAfee Show cohost AJ Hawk asked whether Rodgers was dating Britney Spears, the NFL quarterback explained that his partner’s name has a different spelling.
“Not Britney Spears; this is Brittani with an I,” he said. “It’s a good feeling, boys.”
Since that appearance and the marriage news, Rodgers has gotten candid about his decision to keep his private life out of the public eye.
Aaron Rodgers made a major announcement on his first official day as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers: he’s married! Rodgers, 41, was asked about the mysterious black band on his left finger during a meeting with reporters at Steelers minicamp on Tuesday, June 10. “It’s a wedding ring,” the quarterback said with a smile, […]
“The obsession is f***ing bizarre,” he said in a March appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “That’s the only way to put it. The obsession is really bizarre.”
He continued, “She didn’t sign up for this bulls***. She signed up for this because she loves me and supports me and wants to spend the rest of our lives together and start a family together. She didn’t sign up to be an out front social media WAG. She doesn’t want any of that bulls***. And I don’t either.”
Rodgers also revealed to McAfee, 39, in March that he and Brittani met in 2017, before he was in high-profile relationships with actress Shailene Woodley and former race car driver Danica Patrick.
“When we met back in 2017, I knew that there was something crazy special about this and I wanted to be with her,” he said. “She would make funny comments like, ‘I would never live in Green Bay’ and ‘I don’t want to be a player’s wife.’ She’s not a public person. She moved back across the pond and I got myself into crazy town.”
