Aaron Rodgers has moved from dating actresses and a racing star to keeping his marriage almost completely private. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback married a woman named Brittani in 2025, and the couple has shared very little since. In his Netflix docuseries "Aaron Rodgers: Enigma," Rodgers said he "despised" the attention that came with dating women who were already famous. His past includes Olivia Munn, Danica Patrick and Shailene Woodley. Here is how the timeline unfolded, from his first reported romance in 2011 to what he said about his wife in September.What does Aaron Rodgers' relationship timeline show about his shift from celebrity romances to a private marriage?The pattern is hard to miss. For more than a decade, Rodgers dated women with public profiles, and cameras followed most of those relationships. His marriage looks like a deliberate reset.Brittani does not use social media, and when Rodgers first mentioned her in December 2024, he only revealed that her name is spelled "Brittani with an 'i'." He called her his girlfriend while talking about a Christmas package on The Pat McAfee Show, almost as an aside. By June 2025, he confirmed they were married and said the wedding had happened a couple of months earlier. That is a sharp turn for a man whose earlier relationships played out on red carpets.Who are the famous women Aaron Rodgers has dated?Jessica Szohr came first in 2011. The Gossip Girl actress and Rodgers reportedly reconnected a few years later, and she attended his 2017 birthday celebration. They never made it official.Olivia Munn was the longest of his public relationships. They met at the 2014 ACM Awards while presenting an award together, and Munn joked that she did not even know who he was at first. Rodgers once said he was "real happy" with her. After three years, they split in 2017.Kelly Rohrbach, a Sports Illustrated model, is a smaller footnote. Golf photos in 2017 sparked rumors, but a source said they were only friends.Danica Patrick followed in 2018. The two met at the 2012 ESPYs. Rodgers said they were "really into each other," and they bought a Malibu home in 2019 before splitting in 2020.Shailene Woodley brought the biggest surprise. Rodgers revealed their engagement during his NFL MVP acceptance speech in 2021, and Woodley confirmed it later on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Rodgers called it "the best thing that's happened" to him. They split in 2022 as careers and distance got in the way. Mallory Edens, a model and the daughter of the Milwaukee Bucks owner, was linked to him in early 2023, but it did not last long.What has Aaron Rodgers said about his wife Brittani?On Sept. 10, 2026, Rodgers appeared on "Not Just Football with Cam Heyward" and opened up more about her."In 2017 I met my wife, and at the time, she was leaving the States and going back to Europe," he said in the interview. "My biggest regret is not begging her to stay or proposing right there, because that sent me right there into a tailspin of what can I be accused of as a partner in a relationship."The timing stands out. Rodgers and Munn split in 2017, the same year he says he met his wife. That also means Patrick and Woodley both came after the moment he now calls his biggest regret.Stay updated with the latest Asian Games 2026 news, check the Asian Games medal tally and complete Asian Games schedule.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
