Aaron Rodgers’ close friend takes brutal swipe at NFL star after being snubbed for secret summer wedding

Aaron Rodgers' close friend takes brutal swipe at NFL star after being snubbed for secret summer wedding

David Bakhtiari, a close friend and longtime teammate of Aaron Rodgers, has taken a thinly-veiled dig at the quarterback over his secret wedding.

Rodgers and Bakhtiari spent a decade together at the Green Bay Packers, with the legendary quarterback developing a strong bond with his offensive tackle.

But Bakhtiari has suggested he was snubbed by Rodgers for his recent wedding. The 41-year-old Steelers star recently revealed that he had tied the knot but details of the event – and his wife – remain a mystery.

Over the weekend, current Packers quarterback Jordan Love married Ronika Stone and Bakhtiari paid tribute to the couple – before taking a swipe at Rodgers.

‘Love is love. Congrats to the Loves,’ he wrote alongside a video from the wedding. ‘Just happy at least one of my quarterbacks invited me to their wedding.’

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 partner 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 last week ripped into the rumors in a furious four-minute-long tirade on Pat McAfee’s ESPN talk show.

‘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.’

Earlier this week, Rodgers went on a furious rant over his right to a private life on ESPN

Rodgers, who signed a one-year, $13.65million deal with the Steelers, previously divulged to McAfee that he was in a relationship with a woman named ‘Brittani’, and that she did not have any social media. 

During his recent rant, the quarterback 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.’
