Aaron Rodgers blasts 'sick society' after private marriage revelation sparks media frenzy

Aaron Rodgers is a newly married man, and it sounds like after what's likely his final NFL season, he and his wife will live their own private life away from the media.


Aaron Rodgers blasts 'sick society' after private marriage revelation sparks media frenzy

The wedding came and went without any noise from the media, and Pat McAfee joked with the quarterback during his appearance on the show that he would like to be invited to a reception, if it were to occur.

That apparently lit a fuse underneath Rodgers, who then vented about the "sick society" and the paparazzi invading his privacy, which is all his wife wants.

"It's a sick society, isn't it? It's a sick society. I've lived in the public eye for 20 years. I had public relationships. How did that work out? I had people leaking my home information and making up stories that we bought a house together. I had people calling the paparazzi. I had people posting personal life on the internet. Now, I didn't want any of that, didn't like doing that, and now 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, doesn't want to be a part of it," Rodgers began. "And because I do things in private, because I want my personal life to be private, now I'm weird.

"The entitlement to information about my private life is so f---ing ridiculous and embarrassing. Hey, do what you gotta do. Just try and leave me out of a conversation, sports world, for a month. Try to leave me out, my personal life, my professional life. Try not to talk about me. Try to still be relevant for the next six weeks, five weeks, whatever it is. See if you can do that."

Rodgers admitted on the show that he only signed a one-year deal, because this is likely his final season in the NFL. After the 2025 season, Rodgers said we will no longer hear from him.

"When this is all done, I'm out. You won't see me. I know I've chosen to be in the public eye for one more season, but my private life is staying private," he added.

Rodgers' relationship history has been the subject of widespread coverage and controversy throughout his NFL career. 

Rodgers previously dated actresses Olivia Munn and Shaleine Woodley and former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. 

"I didn't do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated after that that were in the public eye," Rodgers said on the show.
