The quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Aaron Rodgers, has been very secretive about his personal life and has criticized those who try to invade his privacy.
Rodgers has revealed that he is married to a woman who values her privacy and prefers to keep their personal life away from the public eye.

However, according to a report by The Athletic, it was revealed that Rodgers sought advice from his sister-in-law before deciding to sign with the Steelers.
“I was taking orders from my (new) sister-in-law, Mia,” he shared with the outlet. “She’s 20 and she’s the brains of the family; you just have to ask her.
No — but that is partially serious for sure,” he continued. “Every team that I talked to, I said, ‘Listen, if I play, I’m not going to take a ton of money. I’ve made a ton of money. I don’t need the money.’”
The MVP, who has won the award four times, is married to a woman named Brittani, but little else is known about her as Rodgers prefers to keep details private.
He expressed his frustration with the invasion of privacy in an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show” in June, calling out the paparazzi for trying to pry into his personal life.

Rodgers’ one-year contract with the Steelers is reportedly valued at $13.65 million. He has hinted that the 2025 season might be his last, and the team has made efforts to build a competitive roster around him.

The Steelers have also made moves to strengthen their team by adding wide receivers DK Metcalf and Robert Woods, as well as tight end Jonnu Smith. They traded Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Miami Dolphins for Jalen Ramsey, acquired Darius Slay and Juan Thornhill, and drafted Derrick Harmon.
