Aaron Rodgers’ season with the New York Jets hasn’t gone as planned, with the team stumbling to a disappointing 4-11 record. However, while his on-field performance has been overshadowed by struggles, the four-time NFL MVP is scoring wins off the field in his personal life.
Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday—a day earlier than his usual Tuesday slot due to the Christmas holiday—Rodgers discussed various topics, from the Jets’ turbulent season to his potential plans for the 2025 campaign. However, the headline-grabbing moment came when Rodgers revealed a major personal update: he has a new girlfriend.
Rodgers Opens Up About New Relationship
Rodgers confirmed that he’s currently dating someone named Brittani, and from the sound of it, things are going well. The quarterback couldn’t hide his excitement when speaking about the relationship.
“It’s a good feeling, boys,” Rodgers told McAfee and the crew. “It is.”
Rodgers even shared that he had already picked out a special Christmas gift for Brittani, hinting that the relationship is moving in a positive direction. While he didn’t delve into too many details, his tone and enthusiasm suggested that he’s happy and possibly in love.
A Shift from Public Romances
This revelation marks a new chapter for Rodgers, who has had a history of high-profile relationships with celebrities like Danica Patrick, Shailene Woodley, and Olivia Munn. He was also briefly linked to Mallory Edens, the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens.
Rodgers, however, has made a concerted effort to keep his personal life more private since arriving in New York, as he noted in a recent documentary.
“I didn’t do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated after that that were in the public eye,” Rodgers said. “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.”
Rodgers added, “I never signed up for that,” indicating that his preference is to maintain a balance between his public persona and private life.

Fans React to Rodgers’ Relationship News
NFL fans wasted no time sharing their reactions on social media, with many congratulating Rodgers on his new romance.
“At least he’s scoring OFF the field. Heyooooo!!!” one fan joked.
“No ? I missed my chance,” lamented another.
“Wow, massive news if true!!” added another fan.
Some fans also reminisced about Rodgers’ past relationships, with one asking, “What happened with Shailene Woodley? Missed that development.”
Rodgers’ Reflection on the Jets Season
While Rodgers’ personal life seems to be thriving, his professional career with the Jets has hit a rough patch. Injuries and inconsistent play have plagued the team, but Rodgers remains focused on ending the season on a positive note.
With just two games remaining against the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, Rodgers emphasized the importance of professionalism and commitment, even in a losing season.
“You gotta figure out what it means to be a professional,” Rodgers said. “That’s an important part of building culture. The last two weeks we can really see who’s on board moving forward and who is ready to get out. It’s just part of the game.”
Rodgers added that the final games are also an opportunity for players to showcase their work ethic and commitment. “Everybody’s watching, and it’s a who-you-know business. There will be interesting conversations in the next couple of weeks, but just focus on the relationships we have with each other and try to finish this thing out like a pro.”
What’s Next for Rodgers
As Rodgers prepares to wrap up a challenging season, his comments on The Pat McAfee Show also hinted at his openness to returning in 2025. While he hasn’t made any definitive decisions, he expressed a willingness to mentor a rookie quarterback and continue contributing to the Jets organization.
For now, though, it seems Rodgers is content enjoying the holidays, focusing on his relationships—both personal and professional—and preparing for whatever comes next.
With the Jets set to face two AFC East rivals to close out the year, Rodgers’ leadership and insight will be crucial as the team evaluates its roster and plans for the future.
Meanwhile, fans will undoubtedly continue to speculate about Brittani, Rodgers’ newfound happiness, and what this next chapter means for one of football’s most iconic quarterbacks.
