Aaron Rodgers has paid a touching tribute to his mystery wife and revealed how their secret wedding has given him the belief that he can do ‘anything’.
Rodgers dropped a bombshell earlier this offseason when he revealed in June that he had tied the knot ‘a couple of months ago.’
The 41-year-old has been seen wearing a black ring but details of his new partner and their wedding have remained hidden.
On Saturday, during an interview at Steelers training camp, the quarterback did not refer to his wife by name. But he lifted the lid on his new life as a married man.
‘When you meet the right one and you’re with the right one, your whole world changes in a second,’ Rodgers told NFL Network.
‘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.

‘I just really love her and I’m so thankful to have her by my side at the end. When you have that stability and that rock behind you at the house, you feel like you can do anything.’
Rodgers revealed back in December that he was in a relationship with a woman named ‘Brittani’, and that she did not have any social media. Since then, however, the quarterback has refused to shed much light on his new partner,
Their secrecy has sparked conspiracy theories that the marriage could be a hoax. Even his family was said to be questioning whether the wedding took place.
But last month the quarterback slammed his doubters in a furious tirade about their right to a private life.
‘It’s a sick society, isn’t it? I lived in the public eye for 20 years, I had public relationships,’ he told The Pat McAfee show, 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.
‘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.’
