Aaron Rodgers can be seen flipping off a pH๏τographer who snapped the Steelers quarterback on a walk along the beach in California.
The new pH๏τos, obtained by the Daily Mail, show Rodgers wandering on the sand when he spots the paparazzi. He then points towards the camera before cursing.
The pictures emerged just hours after the 41-year-old went on a furious rant about his right to a private life amid rumors surrounding his new marriage.
The quarterback was speaking during his regular appearance on The Pat McAfee Show and he even referenced the pictures.
‘It’s comedy… the problem is, I walking on the beach with (my friend) Mike the other day – and (my dog) Apollo, of course – and I was like: ‘Yo, bro, f***ing paparazzi are probably up there,”‘ Rodgers said.
‘”Look there’s a guy right there!” We flipped him off. I thought it’d be a great pH๏τo.’

Earlier this week, Rodgers went on a furious rant over his right to a private life on ESPN
The quarterback spent four minutes unleashing on the rumors surrounding his marriage
The NFL legend, 41, dropped a bombshell during his first official Steelers practice earlier this month, when he confirmed that he had tied the knot ‘a couple of months ago.’
However, the idenтιтy of the four-time MVP’s new wife has remained a secret, sparking online conspiracy theories that his marriage could be a hoax. Even Rodgers’ family was said to be questioning whether the wedding took place.
But Rodgers ripped into the rumors Tuesday in a furious four-minute-long tirade on ESPN.
‘It’s a sick society, isn’t it? I lived in the public eye for 20 years, I had public relationships,’ he began referring to his past high-profile romances with the likes of actress Shailene Woodley and NASCAR star Danica Patrick.
‘How did that work out? I had people leaking my home information, and making up stories, I had people calling the paparazzi, I had people posting my personal life on the internet. I didn’t want that, didn’t like any of that.’
Rodgers continued: ‘Now I’m with someone who’s private who doesn’t want to be in the public eye, didn’t sign up to be in the public eye, doesn’t want to be a celebrity.
‘And because I do things in private because I want my personal life to be private, I’m now weird and have the paparazzi stalking me.’
Rodgers previously divulged to McAfee in December that he was in a relationship with a woman named ‘Brittani’, and that she did not have any social media. However, on Tuesday he refused to leak any more details, never even referring to his wife by a name.
Rodgers’ last relationship was with actress Shailene Woodley, with the pair splitting in 2022
He previously dated some other high-profile figures, including ex-racing driver Danica Patrick
During Tuesday’s rant, Rodgers went on to ask: ‘What happened to common decency about security and a personal life?
‘Now we have to dive into details of where you live, what you’re doing and who you’re with, who your wife is and if you even have a wife, and if you’re doing so sort of attention-grabbing thing – because my wife is a private person, doesn’t have social media.
‘Where are we at in society that that’s the norm? Just because I’m not selling wedding to the magazines or making a loving post on Instagram.’
The former Super Bowl winner also insisted that his family members wouldn’t know any details about his private life or his new bride as claimed ‘they don’t know anything about them’ because he doesn’t talk to them.
Rodgers signed a one-year, $13.65million deal with the Steelers earlier this month after yet another offseason of speculation over his NFL future.
