Aaron Rodgers’ family doesn’t quite get along with the NFL star’s girlfriend, Olivia Munn, a source tells US Weekly — which may have led to the headline-making rift between Aaron and his family.
“Aaron is the one that has pulled away from the family, not the reverse,” a source exclusively tells US. “When he got together with Olivia Munn, his family told him they didn’t trust her and thought she wasn’t with him for the right reasons. That made him furious, and he ended up choosing Olivia over his family.”
Another source previously told Us that the Green Bay Packer, 33, and the Office Christmas Party actress, 36, weren’t thrilled that the athlete’s estranged father, Ed, spoke briefly about the family tension in an interview with The New York Times.
“[They] don’t want this public,” the source told Us, confirming that the two-year rift is “over the actress.” In the Times interview, Ed spoke sparingly about his strained relationship with his son, only calling the situation “complicated” and noting that the family is “hoping for the best.”
Aaron and Munn have been dating since 2014; the much-discussed estrangement began sometime around then. Word of the family drama first made headlines when Aaron’s younger brother Jordan, who competed on JoJo Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette, warned the reality star that she might not meet Aaron during the couple’s visit to his hometown of Chico, California.
During the episode, Ed told Fletcher, 26, that “fame can change you,” hinting at the distance between Aaron and the rest of the family. (In December, Jordan’s other brother Luke posted an image of the family looking cozy at a restaurant during a “family road trip.” Aaron and Munn were noticeably absent from the picture.)
“JoJo still has not met Aaron Rodgers, which is crazy,” the first source confirmed to Us. The pair got engaged on the August 1, 2016, finale of The Bachelorette. Jordan, 28, for his part, has kept mostly mum about the brothers’ contentious relationship, explaining on the “Garbage Time” podcast in June that the brothers do “have a relationship. It’s complicated. I’ll say that.”
A third source tells Us, "Obviously Jordan hates the tension with his brother Aaron. But the thing is nobody knows what really happened – Olivia, money, fame, all of it?"
#41 waking up next to that in 30 years is why men die sooner than women.
She will not age well.
“pittsburgh is good, they may give new england all they want and more...”
Spot on, drewh. My prediction is another GB v Steelers SB, ala 2010. History may repeat itself, yes?
Let’s watch and see.
Isolating and causing Aaron to be estranged from his family.... the family is right to be distrustful of her. These are classic narcissist tactics and she has that particular narc look in her eyes. Run Aaron, run like the wind; but he won’t. Narcs are extremely charming and manipulating. Once she completely engulfs him in her web she will devalue and discard him like an empty beer can. Aaron will go through an emotional and personal meat grinder when she discards him.
I’ve been with some ugly fat chicks but I draw the line at crazy. Especially “dump yo momma” crazy
Time to come to grips with the fact that the Cowboys had a nice season and are done. They weren’t as good as advertised and benefitted from a 4-12 schedule from the previous season. Rookie quarterback performed beyond all expectations but they didn’t really ask much of him. Defense stunk and statistically benefitted from a ball control offense that hid their weaknesses. They got into a shoot out with a team they could not afford to get into a shootout with. They lost twice to the Giants and the Giants were destroyed by Green Bay before Dallas lost to the Packers. Dallas looks good for the future going forward but that assumes that no one on their offensive lines gets hurt. They were very lucky that way this year. Potentially nice team but don’t expect them to match this season’s record next year when their schedule will be tougher. Lots of smoke and mirrors for the Cowboys this year.
Narcissism is brutal. The person always want attention and never gets enough attention. He has to be the center of attention and will do anything to get it: new clothes to admire, new trip to talk about, and new projects to affirm.
If Aaron’s family is not talking to him, then that is a strong statement. Brutal.
If Olivia is narcissistic, then it would take 5 minutes of talking to her to find out.
Looks like Huma in that picture.
Could explain everything.

She rode the carousel and she is now hitting the wall: she's trying to lock down Mr. Beta Bucks while she still can.
Football players are pretty alpha, though; he’s got options if this one sours.
And Yoko had never even heard of the Beatles when she met John. Yeah, sure.
My mom loved my first wife, who turned out to be the bitch from hell. Mom’s don’t always know best. That said, if you google this girl’s name and click images, the results would not seem too pleasing from a mom’s perspective.
If she doesn't divorce-rape him first. She looks like an angry, crazy, gold-digger in some of those pics.
But in the end, he’ll still have options while she won’t.
Most people don’t ‘really’ know what a narc is and how they are pure poison in families. I have been narced and I know all too well. And it is probably very difficult for a person that hasn’t suffered at the hands of a narc to truly grasp a narc’s brutality.
Tension with the family seems like contrary evidence to that, for me.
If the relationship is fake, why would there be tension?
My coffee is now all over my keyboard. Thanks a lot! ;)
Truly - You have to be a female and an OLD ONE at that to remember when dolls had arms like that - like the right one at least had been stuck on to her body.
About the "beard" thing: wouldn't his family, who are apparently religious, be happy that he was at least dating a woman?
