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?"
I have no clue who she is.
They don’t trust he because she is a beard.
Well we will all find out one day who had a more accurate read on things.
We in Atlanta will do anything to create distractions for the puckers.
that would be huge news...ill bet the agents were going nuts! http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/12/31/aaron-rodgers-gay-kevin-lanflisi-report/
#RunTheTable #GOPACKGO! Can’t wait for Sunday, I am a Shareholder and a fan since I was 11 years old.
wouldnt this make Rodgers MORE mad being splashed all over the media...
She’s pretty in a hard way. Don’t like what I see in those eyes.
I thought it was pretty well established that Aaron Rodgers preferred other company, though.
Maybe they’ve worked something out, like Bill and Hillary, or Barack and Michelle.
Aaron should propose after the game.
Nothing wrong with her physical appearance. Got a mean vibe about her, though.
And there he is in one of those goofy millennial Peewee Herman suits.
Who are the Packers playing next? Someone is trying to get in Rodgers’ head before the game.
Aaron should find a new tailor!!!! WTF is he wearing?
it could be one of those deals where they both kind of need each other because they aren’t Tom Brady and Gisele...maybe another Super Bowl victory could change that
She has rubber arms.
LOL!
They’re stylish, believe it or not. Looks to me as if they’re several sizes too small, slacks too short, cuffs too short, pulling at the buttons, but that’s the look. They wear them sockless or with loud socks that would make me feel like I was wearing clown shoes.
Green Bay Meat Packers vs Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at 2, followed by Pittsburgh Steelers vs New England Patriots at 6:30.
Some guy at FOX Sports said Olivia Munn said she didn't know Aaron Rogers was a SuperStar QB but then he said Olivia was working at FOX Sports as a intern when Aaron Rogers was a BIG thing! LOL
