Aaron Rodgers has returned to social media after tying the knot.
In a Wednesday, July 2, Instagram post, Rodgers, 41, was all smiles while posing with fellow Pittsburgh Steelers teammates Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin III, DeKaylin Metcalf and Roman Wilson. “Summerball,” Rodgers captioned the upload.
News broke in June that Rodgers agreed to a one-year contract with the NFL team after spending two seasons with the New York Jets.
In NFL legend Troy Aikman’s mind, he hopes that Rodgers is able to “recapture some of his form” with the Steelers in the fall. (Rodgers tore his Achilles in his first game with the Jets in 2023.)
“I think it’s a good fit, actually,” Aikman, 58, told Us Weekly in a cover story.
ESPN reported that Rodgers visited the Steelers’ practice facility in March but remained tight-lipped about his future plans.
“I wasn’t stringing anyone along,” Rodgers said during an April appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show. “I wasn’t holding anyone hostage. I was honest from the jump about where I was at mentally and some of the constraints I have in my life right now that warrant my attention.”
Rodgers continued, “I’m open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility, but right now my focus has been — and will continue to be — on my personal life. And that’s what I’ve told the coaches. There’s still conversations that are being had. It’s all been very honest lines of communication.”
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 same month Rodgers joined the Steelers, he revealed he secretly exchanged vows when asked about a black band on his left finger during a meeting with reporters at Steelers minicamp.
“It’s a wedding ring,” he said while sharing that he exchanged vows a “couple months ago.”
Rodgers did not reveal the identity of his partner at the time. He announced in April that he was in a “serious relationship” while appearing on The Pat McAfee Show.
“I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention,” he said at the time. “I have personal commitments not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year that are important to me.”
Rodgers added, “I have a lot of things that are taking my attention and have, beginning in January, away from football. That’s been where I’ve been focusing most of my attention.”
