He made the announcement during a recent appearance at the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, where players paid tribute to Brittani. In response, he referred to her as “my incredible wife,” confirming that the two were quietly married earlier this year in a private ceremony.
Rodgers had previously sparked speculation about his relationship status after being spotted wearing a ring and referencing a “special someone” in interviews. Until now, however, he had not confirmed any personal details publicly.
“She’s made me a better man,” he reportedly told his teammates, further fueling admiration for their bond. Fans and social media users have responded with curiosity and warmth, eager to learn more about the woman who seems to have brought peace and stability to the often-intense quarterback.
The announcement has reignited media and fan interest in Rodgers’ personal life, particularly his newly revealed marriage.
Aaron Rodgers is loving married life with his “incredible” wife Brittani.
Speaking with the NFL Network at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ training camp on Saturday, July 26, the quarterback, 41, offered a rare look into his private relationship.
“When you meet the right one, and you’re with the right one, your whole world changes in a second,” Rodgers said of Brittani, per Sports Illustrated. “And to have that person that unconditionally loves you behind the scenes, there’s no better feeling in the world, and I have the most incredible wife.”
Rodgers also spoke about how his wife motivates him, both in his career and in his personal life.
“I just really love her, and I’m so thankful to have her by my side at the end,” the NFL star said. “When you have that stability and that rock behind you at the house, you feel like you can do anything.”
At the time, host Pat McAfee and other guests on the show appeared to poke fun at Rodgers for being “in love,” to which a grinning Rodgers replied, “It’s a good feeling, boys. It is.”
The newest Pittsburgh Steeler then revealed in June that he secretly wed Brittani, and the ceremony was “a couple months” prior.
The confirmation came a month after Rodgers was spotted wearing what appeared to be a wedding band at a Kentucky Derby event in May.
During a later appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers slammed the “entitlement to information” about his personal life and said his wife is a “private person” who doesn’t want to be in the public eye.
“It’s a sick society, isn’t it?” Rodgers said.
