Aaron Rodgers took a subtle jab at exes Danica Patrick and Shailene Woodley while revealing more details about his mysterious wife, Brittani.
The NFL athlete shared that he met Brittani back in 2017, and knew he “wanted to be with her,” during his appearance on “The Pat MacAfee Show” Wednesday.
“I knew there was something crazy special about this,” he said.
“She’s not a public person,” he stressed, noting that she told him that she would “never live in Green Bay” and that she didn’t want to be “a player’s wife.”
Rodgers, 42, said she eventually “moved back across the pond,” then shaded his famous exes.
“And I got myself into, you know, crazy town. And I was with individuals who called the paparazzi, who leaked or talked about where I was living,” he said. “Who, you know, coerced me to make, you know, the proverbial Instagram, social media posts.”
“I never really wanted to live a public life,” he continued.
Though he didn’t name anyone specifically, Rodgers famously dated Patrick and Woodley in the timespan that he referenced during the interview.
While Rodgers also previously dated Olivia Munn, they split in 2017 — when he says he first met Brittani — after three years of dating.
As for Patrick, they linked up in 2018 and dated for two years before splitting in 2020. Rodgers then started dating Woodley later that year.
He and the “Big Little Lies” actress got engaged in 2021, but they split in February 2022.
There’s no love lost between Rodgers and his famous exes.
In May 2025, Patrick, 43, claimed that her relationship with Rodgers was so “emotionally abusive” that it wore her “down to nothing.”
“People could never imagine that I would lack … any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am,” the ex-race car driver shared on “The Sage Steele Show.” “Everything was torn to bits.”
“Yeah, he leaves a trail of blood,” she added of Rodgers.
Meanwhile, Woodley made comments about her and Rodgers’ breakup in an interview with Bustle in September 2024, when she admitted to falling in love “over and over with unavailability.”
“I love easy and I care easy, but I do not love lightly, and I do not care lightly. It’s really taken me a lot of time to understand that it’s not on me to fix or heal or do anything about [a relationship] other than protect the deep care and love that I have for the world and for my people,” she said.
Woodley, 34, also noted that she was “not interested” in people who “cross” or “disrespect” her.
“I used to be a person who … would continue to give and give,” she said. “And now … I respectfully go, ‘Thank you so much for that information. Have a beautiful life. I wish you well.’”
Reps for Patrick and Woodley didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
