Is Jordan Rodgers Related to Aaron Rodgers?
Jordan is the younger brother of the New York Jets quarterback. They have another brother named Luke. The Rodgers family has been estranged from Aaron for some time, but it’s unclear as to what caused the rift. Jordan opened up about it on The Bachelorette in 2016.
“My middle brother won’t be there, Aaron. Like I said, I have a great relationship with my brother Luke. Me and Aaron don’t really have that much of a relationship. It’s just kind of the way he’s chosen to do life and I’ve chosen to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother,” Jordan explained at the time. “Yeah, it’s not ideal and I love him and I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in his shoes and have the pressure he has, the demands from people that he has. Don’t have hard feelings against him, it’s just how things go right now.”
The rift continues since Aaron did not attend Jordan’s wedding to JoJo Fletcher in 2022.
