Aaron Rodgers is facing mounting questions – and growing doubts – over his mysterious personal life after claiming he had quietly tied the knot with a mystery woman he refuses to name.
The new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, 41, confirmed this week that he got married ‘a couple months ago’, following weeks of speculation after he had been spotted wearing a black wedding band on his ring finger.
The news caught several members of Rodgers’s family and friends off guard and now, multiple sources have told DailyMail.com that they are beginning to question if the man the Steelers are banking on to helm them to their first Super Bowl in over a decade is actually someone’s husband.
As of today, public records show no trace of a legal marriage.
A clerk in the Pennsylvania county where Rodgers was rumored to have moved told DailyMail.com this week that no such marriage involving the football star has been registered.
County officials in Las Vegas, a common venue for quick celebrity weddings, also confirmed that there is no record of an Aaron Rodgers getting married there this year.
Friends and family close to Aaron Rodgers are beginning to question if the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback’s recent marriage bombshell is the real deal despite him wearing a black band on his ring finger
Sources say Rodgers’s friends were surprised to learn he got married, recalling his aversion to marriage when he split from ex-fiancée Shailene Woodley in February 2022
What’s more, not even his closest relatives seem to know anything about the mysterious woman he now calls his wife, known only as ‘Brittani’, though given his well-documented fractured relationship with his family, that may not be too surprising.
Rodgers has been embroiled in a longtime feud with his younger brother Jordan, the winner of The Bachelorette in 2016, which dates back to his appearance on the reality show.
Earlier this week, DailyMail.com exclusively reported that Jordan and his wife JoJo Fletcher did not attend the former Packers star’s wedding.
One insider said: ‘Jordan and JoJo didn’t go to the wedding and don’t even know anything really about Brittani. What they’ve heard is secondhand from his parents.
‘They are still angry that Aaron didn’t go to their wedding. He didn’t want to be with his brother on the biggest day of his life, so why should they twist themselves up over this wedding?
But now insiders say the family is unconvinced the marriage is real – and suspect Rodgers may have had a symbolic ‘commitment ceremony’ instead of a legally binding wedding.
The actress opened up about their two-year relationship in December, describing it as ‘not right’ and admitting it’s still a sore subject she avoids talking about
Earlier this week, DailyMail.com revealed Aaron’s younger brother Jordan Rodgers and his wife, JoJo Fletcher, did not attend the wedding and that they ‘know nothing about her’
Friends have also pointed to Rodgers’s long-held aversion to marriage following his 2022 split from Big Little Lies actress Shailene Woodley, to whom he was briefly engaged.
‘After Shailene, Aaron used to say that he’d never get married but here we are, years later and he’s now saying he’s married,’ a source told Daily Mail.
‘Aaron is a whim follower, which is something that’s surprising when you see how successful he’s been.
‘He gets something in his mind and charges forward, really without much real consideration. This feels like one of his whims.’
Adding to the intrigue, DailyMail.com can further reveal that recent reports that the four-time MVP had purchased a $29million home in Pennsylvania have also proven false.
Barstool Sports reported last week that Rodgers had purchased a mansion in the upscale town of Canonsburg – complete with a golf course and horse stables.
But when contacted by DailyMail.com, the owner of the six-bedroom estate said the football player had not bought the property.
Rodgers first hinted at his relationship with someone named Brittani during a December appearance on friend Pat McAfee’s podcast.

Some fans have speculated that ‘Brittani’ is the model Brittani Kline but Rodgers has previously said ‘she doesn’t have social media,’ which would appear to rule out the America’s Next Top Model winner who has 35,000 followers on Instagram
In a follow-up interview in April, he said he was ‘in a serious relationship’ and spoke of ‘off-the-field commitments’ that were taking priority.
He also said his new love interest was not on any social-media channels after joking that she probably doesn’t watch McAfee’s show despite being a fan of the ESPN host.
Rodgers’s last public relationship was with Woodley, who is believed to have since moved on with Emily in Paris star Lucas Bravo.
She opened up about the relationship in December, describing it as ‘not right’ and admitting it’s still a sore subject that she avoids talking about.
‘I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron because it always makes me cry,’ she said in a tearful interview with Outside magazine.
She also said her empathy for ‘someone else’ kept her in a ‘toxic situation.’

Prior to that romance, Rodgers dated other high-profile figures including former race car driver Danica Patrick and actress Olivia Munn.
Patrick spoke out about dating Rodgers in a sensational interview last month claiming their relationship was ’emotionally abusive’ and ‘wore me down to nothing’.
Earlier this week sources close to his family revealed his relatives were just as surprised by the news of the nuptials as the public.
‘Secondhand, they hear that she’s willing to stay private and that she’s not with him for his fame or money,’ the source said.
‘But they know nothing about her.’

‘This is not a close family unit at all. Right now, JoJo and Jordan are getting the news about the marriage from the internet.’
Rodgers’s father, chiropractor Dr. Ed Rodgers, did not respond to requests for comment.
And when asked about the wedding, the NFL star’s friend and business partner Nate Raabe, who runs private equity firm RX3 Growth Partners with Rodgers, said he couldn’t comment.
Some fans have speculated that ‘Brittani’ is the model Brittani Kline.
But in a December interview with sports commentator McAfee, Rodgers said ‘she doesn’t have social media,’ which would appear to rule out the America’s Next Top Model winner who has 35,000 followers on Instagram.
