Aaron Rodgers has made a statement on his past relationships that suggests he’s probably regretful.
The New York Jets quarterback has dated some famous women since making the step up to the NFL but apparently did not enjoy the scrutiny that came with the territory.
Rodgers dated actress Olivia Munn from 2014 to 2017, then hooked up with former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick before starting a relationship with another actress, Shailene Woodley.
Aaron and Woodley made it as far as engagement but eventually called things off.
While Rodgers might not have hated the actual relationships, he did not enjoy all the eyes they came with.

Aaron Rodgers “Despised” The Lack Of Privacy When It Came To Dating
The QB discussed this in the second episode of the ‘Aaron Rodgers: Enigma’ on Netflix, claiming he didn’t do himself any favors.
“I didn’t do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated after that that were in the public eye,” he said (H/T TheSpun). “I definitely hated it at first — like, really despised it. I enjoyed my private life. I enjoyed being able to go places. But from Super Bowl MVP, MVP, State Farm commercials, that got a little bit more difficult
“I never signed up for that.”
Rodgers has since been involved in speculation involving Mallory Edens, the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens, with sightings of the two of them together from last year fueling rumors. If they’re still together, he’s done a great job of keeping it under wraps.
Aaron Rodgers Opens Up About His Depressing Reaction To The Packers Drafting Jordan Love In 2020

Despite the presence of a 36-year-old Aaron Rodgers, who was still in his prime, the Packers moved up to select the Utah State QB with the No .26 pick. The move was the biggest stunner of the 2020 NFL Draft, but with the benefit of hindsight, we now know that the Packers made the right call all along.
In the new Netflix documentary, “Aaron Rodgers: Enigma,” the four-time MVP revealed his immediate reaction when he learned of the Jordan Love pick:
“I looked down at my phone and my agent just texted me: ‘Quarterback.’ And I was like, ‘No f–king way,’. Then the pick happens, and I immediately got off the couch and was super non-reactive. And I just went to pour myself some tequila and went back to the couch and knew there was going to be some interesting conversations.”
In Rodgers’ defense, he responded by winning back-to-back MVP awards and leading Green Bay to consecutive 13-win seasons. He retained the starting job through 2022, before both sides agreed to a split after a disappointing 8-9 finish.

Packers Were Wise To Swap Aaron Rodgers For Jordan Love
Aaron Rodgers’ tenure with the New York Jets has been the utmost disaster thus far, with the team sitting at 4-10 with three games to go. Jordan Love, meanwhile, has the Packers sitting comfortably at 10-4 with a second straight playoff appearance on the way.
As they did with the decision to have Rodgers replace Brett Favre as the starter 16 years ago, the Packers brass crushed it with the call to have Love replace A-Rod.
