One of the biggest mysteries in the NFL remains: Who is Aaron Rodgers's wife, and why has nobody met her?
"She's like a phantom," said the wife of one of Rodgers's teammates, who is part of a social group of team wives and girlfriends. "We all want to meet her, to invite her out, get to know her. We don't even know who she is."
The 41-year-old quarterback, now in his first season with the Pittsburgh Steelers after stints with the New York Jets and 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, first confirmed his marital status to reporters in June when he arrived at training camp. Rodgers offered few details, saying it had "been a couple of months" since he tied the knot.
He declined to name his spouse, but in a December 2024 episode of the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers mentioned he was dating someone named Brittani, who was a "private person."
"I'm with somebody who's private, who doesn't want to be in the public eye, didn't sign up to be a celebrity - and because I do things in private, because I want my personal life to be private, now I'm weird," he said. "My private life is my private life - and it's going to stay that way."
Rodgers's family now claim to have answers about his wife, though they have not revealed her identity to the public.
