Aaron Rodgers has shared a rare update about his family life after years of separation. He admitted that he was spending time with some members of his family recently. His post was a tentative step towards reconciliation following a long public dispute with his family. Soon, fans were expressing their support for the reunion.
New photos show Aaron Rodgers with his estranged parents and brother after years of family tension.
According to PEOPLE, on Monday, July 20, Rodgers posted images to Instagram of himself with his mother, Darla Rodgers, his father, Ed Rodgers, older brother, Luke Rodgers, and sister-in-law, Aimee Rodgers. He also featured a young girl who appears to be his niece. The NFL star captioned the post, “Another bonding week. fam.”
Rodgers has been estranged from family members for almost ten years. The family feud became public in 2016 when his younger brother, Jordan Rodgers, spoke about it during The Bachelorette. Jordan stated that Aaron had decided to separate himself from the family. Aaron later claimed that he had never been invited to the hometown dinner, which featured on the reality TV show.
The quarterback has not posted photos with Jordan, but the brothers continue following each other on Instagram. Jordan also liked Aaron’s reunion post. A source previously told PEOPLE that the conflict started because of a long sibling rivalry. Over time, disagreements arose and put their parents in the middle, the source said.
Over the years, Aaron’s family continued to be in the news. His father, Ed, told The New York Times in 2017 that Aaron hadn’t spoken with the family since 2014. Later, Aaron spoke about it in his Netflix series, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma. The timing of his recent reunion with family members remains unclear.
