Aaron Rodgers‘ love life has been looked at with just as much interest as his football stats. The quarterback, who joined the Green Bay Packers in 2005 and became the starting QB in 2008, has lived much of his life in the spotlight, resulting in relationships with numerous A-listers. From his high-profile relationship with Olivia Munn to his time with Danica Patrick to his short-lived engagement with Shailene Woodley, Aaron has quite the dating history to look back on.
In 2023, Aaron Rodgers embarked on the next chapter of his career by signing with the New York Jets, a move he announced in a March interview. However, just two years later, the team and Aaron are parting ways, as confirmed by head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey on February 13, 2025.
According to the Jets’ Instagram account, the statement read, “Last week we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback. It was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures. We want to thank him for the leadership, passion, and dedication he brought to the organization and wish him success moving forward.”
As Aaron figures out his next steps, both on and off the field, here’s a look back at his romantic history.
Aaron’s first big-time relationship as a famous athlete was with his childhood best friend-turned-lover, Destiny Newton. They began to date in 2011, after being “best friends for nine years” and meeting “at church camp,” Destiny’s mom told Radar Online nearly a decade ago. She added, “They’re very happy together, and our family loves him.” Their love story appeared to end in 2013 when reports of their breakup began surfacing.
While this relationship was never confirmed, Aaron was widely believed to have dated Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr. They were first rumored to be together in 2011, and then reportedly “got back together over the holidays” between Dec. 2013-Jan. 2014, Us Weekly claimed.
One of Aaron’s most famous relationships was with The Predator star Olivia Munn. They dated for nearly three years, between 2014-2017, but not without some drama. Aaron’s dad, Ed Rodgers, revealed that his son had not spoken to their family since 2014 — the same year the NFL star began dating Olivia — saying that “fame can change things” in an interview with The New York Times published in Jan. 2017.
