The truth about Aaron Rodgers’ reconciliation with brother Jordan Rodgers and JoJo Fletcher
Aaron Rodgers’ family reunion remains a work in progress — at least when it comes to his brother Jordan Rodgers.
“JoJo [Fletcher] and Jordan are cordial with Aaron,” a source told Page Six this week. “It seems like Aaron has led the public to believe things are better than they actually are with Jordan.”
Last month, Aaron went on the “Not Just Football” podcast and shed some light on the decade-long rift he overcame with his family.
“There were tough conversations for sure,” Aaron said, adding that he met with his parents, Ed and Darla, and each brother separately. “But I’m just in a much better headspace.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers star credited his new wife, Brittani, for the reconciliation.
Although Brittani’s identity remains a mystery, it is something Aaron’s younger brother and sister-in-law seem to be respecting.
“They don’t like to talk about Jordan’s family,” the source said of the couple, adding they “don’t seem to know much” about Brittani either. “It still seems like a very sensitive topic for Jordan.”
The family drama drew a lot of attention when Fletcher met Jordan on ABC’s “The Bachelorette” in 2016.
The quarterback was noticeably missing when Fletcher joined Jordan in his hometown of Chico, California, on the popular reality show to meet his family, which included his parents and older brother, Luke Rodgers.
“Me and Aaron don’t really have that much of a relationship,” Jordan shared at the time. “It’s just kind of the way he’s chosen to do life, and I’ve chosen to stay close with my family and my parents and [Luke].”
This past weekend, Luke shared a carousel of photos showing his parents alongside his wife and two kids visiting Aaron at the Steelers game. Noticeably missing were JoJo, Jordan and their daughter, Romy, though the source said there is a good explanation for that.
“JoJo and Jordan’s location has a lot to do with not seeing the family as much,” the source said, adding that the couple is still “extremely close” to Jordan’s parents. “They love their life in Puerto Rico and really don’t leave unless they have to.”
“Jordan is really busy with work, so even if everything between him and his family was good, it isn’t odd he isn’t at games supporting Aaron all of the time.”
Page Six reached out to reps for Aaron, Jordan and Fletcher for comment but did not immediately hear back.
