Last month, the NFL quarterback posted photos with family members and received an overwhelmingly positive response from his followers, who were happy to see the decade-long feud had finally been resolved. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After years of reported estrangement from his family dating back to late 2014, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers surprised fans in July by posting photos with them on social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On August 1, the athlete talked about the reunion in a conversation with NFL Network\u2019s Kyle Brandt. The host said he was \u201cgenuinely moved\u201d when he saw Rodgers\u2019 post and the effect it had on him.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<!-- TargetVideo video matching --><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rodgers said he\u2019s been having conversations about it for years, adding that his mystery wife, Brittani, played a role in the family reconciliation. \u201cA big part of it was getting married, and having those conversations with my wife that allowed me to kind of open up to the possibility of coming together,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that he prefers to keep his personal life private, but he wanted to \u201cshut down\u201d a narrative that has gone on too long. Rodgers said the love and support Brittani has given him urged him to reconnect with family members whom he admittedly missed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-athlete-spent-the-long-weekend-with-his-family\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Athlete Spent The Long Weekend With His Family<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbCPvMJFL2x\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On July 20, Rodgers took to Instagram to share a carousel of family photos in which he posed with his mother, Darla, his father, Ed, and his older brother, Luke. His other brother, \u201cThe Bachelorette\u201d alum Jordan, was not in the photos. He captioned the post, \u201cAnother bonding week,\u201d hinting that it wasn\u2019t the first time he spent time with his family since their reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rodgers told Brandt that the photos were taken during a long weekend he spent with them. \u201cI got to spend a long weekend recently with my parents\u2026 my brother and his sweet wife and their incredible two kids. I got to be an uncle,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As <em><a href=\"https:\/\/theblast.com\/822519\/truth-aaron-rodgers-family-reunion-revealed\/\">The Blast<\/a><\/em> previously reported, Rodgers was seen with his father at a golf event back in 2023, where they shared \u201ca special moment.\u201d That meeting reportedly paved the way for a reconciliation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-rodgers-family-rift-was-made-public-on-the-bachelorette\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Rodgers Family Rift Was Made Public On \u2018The Bachelorette\u2019<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large caption_belowImage credit_onImage mobile-image-full-width\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.theblast.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=75%2Cgravity=auto%2Csharpen=1%2Cmetadata=none%2Cformat=auto%2Conerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/aaron-rodgers-1617x2048.jpg\" class=\"pss-trigger\" role=\"button\" data-pss-trigger=\"0\" aria-controls=\"pss-modal\" aria-label=\"Open gallery of 3 images.\" title=\"Open gallery of 3 images.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"973\" src=\"https:\/\/media.theblast.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768%2Cheight=973%2Cfit=crop%2Cquality=75%2Cgravity=auto%2Csharpen=1%2Cmetadata=none%2Cformat=auto%2Conerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/aaron-rodgers-768x973.jpg\" alt=\"Aaron Rodgers at 31st Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby Eve Gala\" class=\"wp-image-698703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.theblast.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1617%2Cheight=2048%2Cfit=crop%2Cquality=75%2Cgravity=auto%2Csharpen=1%2Cmetadata=none%2Cformat=auto%2Conerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/aaron-rodgers-1617x2048.jpg 1617w, https:\/\/media.theblast.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1212%2Cheight=1536%2Cfit=crop%2Cquality=75%2Cgravity=auto%2Csharpen=1%2Cmetadata=none%2Cformat=auto%2Conerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/aaron-rodgers-1212x1536.jpg 1212w, https:\/\/media.theblast.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=808%2Cheight=1024%2Cfit=crop%2Cquality=75%2Cgravity=auto%2Csharpen=1%2Cmetadata=none%2Cformat=auto%2Conerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/aaron-rodgers-808x1024.jpg 808w, https:\/\/media.theblast.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768%2Cheight=973%2Cfit=crop%2Cquality=75%2Cgravity=auto%2Csharpen=1%2Cmetadata=none%2Cformat=auto%2Conerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/aaron-rodgers-768x973.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.theblast.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=237%2Cheight=300%2Cfit=crop%2Cquality=75%2Cgravity=auto%2Csharpen=1%2Cmetadata=none%2Cformat=auto%2Conerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/aaron-rodgers-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/media.theblast.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=428%2Cquality=75%2Cgravity=auto%2Csharpen=1%2Cmetadata=none%2Cformat=auto%2Conerror=redirect\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/aaron-rodgers-scaled.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100px, 100vw\"\/><span class=\"pss-trigger__badge\" aria-hidden=\"true\">3<\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tammie Arroyo \/ AFF-USA.COM \/ MEGA <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rodgers\u2019 estrangement from his family made headlines in 2016. Jordan was one of the final contestants in \u201cThe Bachelorette\u201d Season 12, and while on the hometown date with JoJo Fletcher, Rodgers was noticeably absent. Jordan told JoJo that while he remained close with his parents and his other brother, he had no relationship with the NFL star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years later, Rodgers said he was never asked to appear on the show. His father, Ed, spoke about the \u201ccomplicated\u201d relationship in 2017, saying it was difficult to pinpoint exactly how or when the rift started. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 2024 Netflix documentary \u201cAaron Rodgers: Enigma,\u201d the football player discussed the estrangement, saying that religion and lifestyle were among the factors that contributed to the conflict.
