Aaron Rodgers chose The Pat McAfee Show — where else? — to deliver his most personal and combustible interview in recent memory, going scorched earth on his ex-girlfriends, revealing new details about when he met his wife, Brittani, and railing against the obsession over his private life.
The March 4, 2026, episode covered everything from his alleged “clinically bipolar” exes to WAG culture to whether Rodgers can still play in the NFL. And the man who hosted it all, McAfee himself — a close friend of Rodgers’ — still hasn’t met the quarterback’s mystery wife.
Scroll below for a roundup of Rodgers’ biggest bombshells from the interview and details about his friendship with McAfee.
Aaron Rodgers Makes Dig at Exes
Rodgers did not hold back when the conversation turned to his past relationships. He didn’t name names, but the quarterback left enough context for anyone paying attention to connect the dots.
“I dealt with clinically bipolar. I dealt with depressed relevance-seeking,” Rodgers said during the episode. “I dealt with people that wanted to search out other possibilities before they could commit to me and then they go on TV talking about how I ruined their lives and all this s***. I just want to say, ‘Move on with your life. Stop lying about me. Just move on with your life and be happy.'”
He kept going.
“I was with individuals who called the paparazzi, who talked about where I was living, who coerced me into making the proverbial Instagram and social media posts,” Rodgers continued. “I never really wanted to live a public life.
All the Clues About the Identity of Aaron Rodgers' New Mystery Wife
Prior to marrying Brittani, Rodgers had plenty of high-profile relationships. He was engaged to actress Shailene Woodley from 2021 to 2022 and dated former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick from 2017 to 2020. Before Patrick, Rodgers had a three-year relationship with actress Olivia Munn from 2014 to 2017. He has also been linked to Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kelly Rohrbach and Mallory Edens, daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens.
Rodgers did not connect his comments to Patrick specifically, but the racer has been candid about their relationship and breakup since it ended.
“It was sudden [and] it felt like it was my life,” she recalled during a May 2025 appearance on the “Sage Steele Show” podcast. “You know, when you live with somebody and it’s, like, your whole life. It’s your dentist appointment, it’s your hairdo, it’s your clothes, it’s your mailing address. It’s, like, everything.”
She also alleged that the “nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive” and “wore [her] down to nothing.”
“Someone that people could never imagine that I would lack any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am. Yeah, everything was down to bits,” Patrick claimed. “He leaves a trail of blood. I don’t think I’m saying too much earth-shattering stuff after there’s been enough out there. [The breakup] gave me the greatest gift, which was myself. I was, like, ‘Wow.’ It gave me the greatest gift of how much I needed to show up for myself and take care of myself.”
Aaron Rodgers Shares Details About Brittani
In the same interview, Rodgers revealed new details about his relationship with Brittani, whose full identity has still not been revealed to the public.
“When we met back in 2017, I knew that there was something crazy special about this and I wanted to be with her,” Rodgers said. “She would make funny comments like, ‘I would never live in Green Bay’ and ‘I don’t want to be a player’s wife.’ She’s not a public person.”
In 2017, Rodgers was quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, a job he would hold until the end of the 2022 season. Rodgers and his wife got married in June 2025.
He also hinted about Brittani’s stomping grounds, saying, “She moved back across the pond and I got myself into crazy town.”

Rodgers used the McAfee interview to draw a sharp line between his wife and the public-facing partners of other athletes.
“She didn’t sign up for this bulls***,” he told McAfee. “She signed up for this because she loves me and supports me and wants to spend the rest of our lives together and start a family together. She didn’t sign up to be an out-front social media WAG. She doesn’t want any of that bulls***. And I don’t either.”
Rodgers revealed that all of the attention surrounding his marriage forced the couple to move out of his Malibu beach home.
“The obsession is f***ing bizarre,” he said. “That’s the only way to put it. The obsession is really bizarre.”
Rodgers said he keeps an increasingly “small circle,” given his increased privacy concerns.
“The people that are in that circle know [Brittani],” he insisted. “They’ve met her and they love her.”
Pat McAfee and Jen Hale Detail Their Friendships With Aaron Rodgers
Days prior to the interview dropping, McAfee spoke extensively about what he hopes to see for Rodgers in an interview with the Daily Mail. When asked if he had met Brittani, his answer was telling.
“I have not,” McAfee said. “But I am, once again, happy for him … and if I get a chance to meet her, that’ll obviously be cool.”
Fox Sports reporter Jen Hale, who has become a friend to Rodgers over the years, revealed a different level of access — she knows Brittani’s identity but declined to out her publicly.
“Everyone knows,” she told the Daily Mail. “I can’t [say who she is]. If I could, I would, but I can’t. He’s happy. He’s in a really good spot.”
Hale continued, “I’ve never met her. I don’t know her. Aaron has become a friend over the years, so I wish him the very best. I think he’s happy. And that’s all you want for your people — you want them to find their comfort zone and their happiness. He went through some really tough times, and I’m glad he’s in such a good place now.”
The NFL Question Still Looming
Through it all, Rodgers’ football future remains in the air. He still hasn’t announced a decision on whether he will play next season, and if he does, if he will return to the Steelers.
“I think he could still spin it. [But] whatever the hell he wants to do, I hope he’s happy,” McAfee told the Daily Mail of Rodgers’ potential to hit the field again. “And if we get to see him throw some footballs again, I hope it’s on a winning team.”
The four-time NFL MVP said he’s been spending most of his offseason spending quality time with his wife while doing his best to stay in shape.
“I’m trying to stay fit. It’s harder when you get older,” he said. “You can’t take the same amount of time off as you used to. After so many seasons, I would take a few weeks off, a month off, a month-and-a-half. Now at 42, you always gotta be dialed in on the diet and sleep and workouts if you want to look the right way.”
Rodgers added, “I want to look good. I want my wife to want to f*** me all the time.”
Though McAfee hasn’t met Brittani and may not anytime soon, he summed up his feelings about Rodgers with the kind of loyalty that defines their dynamic — both on air and off.
“He’s committed so much of his life to this game,” McAfee said. “Obviously, there’s a lot of public scrutiny for everything that he’s ever done. Some he’s obviously caused. Other things, I think he gets taken out of context a lot. He’s pretty misunderstood.”
McAfee added that he “would just like Aaron Rodgers to be happy.”
