Aaron Rodgers' family ‘was in the dark' about marriage to Brittani: Report
The Rodgers family dynamics have often made headlines and Aaron Rodgers' latest nuptials only made things more controversial. Aaron's brother Jordan Rodgers and his wife Joelle 'JoJo Fletcher' were reportedly absent from his guest list. In fact, they learned about his nuptials from the internet just like everyone else, according to the Daily Mail.
The drama began when Aaron admitted during a press conference following his first game with the Pittsburgh Steelers that he had recently been married to a mystery woman. The topic arose when a reporter raised a query about a wedding ring that the NFL star had been sporting for quite some time now to which he proudly replied by confirming his latest life update, although the name of his partner was not revealed. Public speculation suggests that Aaron's last-mentioned but publicly reclusive girlfriend Brittani may be the woman.
Although Aaron's relationship with Jason has been openly strained for many years, this latest development only seemed to make matters worse. A source told The Daily Mail on Thursday (June 12), 'This is not a close family unit at all. Right now, JoJo and Jordan are getting the news about the marriage from the internet. Jordan and JoJo didn't go to the wedding and don't even know anything really about Brittani. What they've heard is secondhand from his parents.' The resentment intensified considering how Aaron chose to sit out Jason's nuptials with JoJo in 2022.
In his Netflix docuseries Enigma, Aaron talked about his rift with his brother by recalling how during Jordan's time on The Bachelorette, he took the crew out on a home-date; something that Aaron found especially intrusive. 'They go on a bulls**t show and leave two empty chairs [for me]. They all agree this was a good thing to do to leave two empty chairs at a stupid dating show that my brother just went on to get famous, his words, not mine, that he ended up winning. But a dinner that was during the season I was never asked to go to. Not that I would've gone,' he said.
Aaron, however, tried to balance the ground soon after by claiming that he would never wish 'any ill will on them'. Jordan and JoJo met in and won Season 12 of the popular ABC series The Bachelorette.

Stranger Things cast members caught in controversy chaos as final season approaches
As Stranger Things moves towards its final season on Netflix, fans' palpable excitement has met with real-life controversies involving the cast of the show. While fans look forward to saying goodbye to Hawkins and the Upside Down, off-screen drama surrounding stars like Noah Schnapp, Brett Gelman, and Joseph Quinn has taken center stage, as reported by Daily Mail. From political outbursts to messy romances, the cast's controversies are as chaotic as the series itself. Brett Gelman, who plays the quirky and karate-skilled Murray Bauman, became a central figure in the fourth season. His breakout moments, rescuing Hopper and fighting off guards, earned him praise and even sparked a shift in how he viewed his career. 'I would really like to be that fun action star,' he told The Guardian. But in 2023, Gelman's support for Noah Schnapp and outspoken views on the Israel-Hamas war drew sharp reactions. Speaking to TMZ, he defended Schnapp's 'Zionism is sexy' sticker and added, 'I do believe that Israel has the right to defend itself… but at the same time I don't know why no one is placing their deaths at all at the responsibility of Hamas.' He also lashed out at pro-Palestinian voices online, branding them 'fake woke liberals' in a series of posts that many called aggressive and insensitive.

Post-Stranger Things, the British actor has soared, landing the role of George Harrison in Sam Mendes' Beatles biopics. But it's his off-screen link-up with singer Doja Cat that has sparked debate. Their romance first made headlines in 2024, months after Doja was criticized for mocking COVID-19 fears and allegedly appearing in controversial chat rooms. The backlash intensified when fans dug up her 2022 feud with Noah Schnapp. She had asked the teen actor to set her up with Quinn — messages he later shared online. According to the Daily Mail, as the show nears its end, other cast members are also facing renewed scrutiny. David Harbour, who plays Hopper, allegedly split from Lily Allen after she suspected infidelity involving a younger colleague. Charlie Heaton, too, was once detained at a US airport in 2017 after traces of cocaine were found on him, though producers defended him and he stayed on the show. Noah Schnapp's political views continue to divide fans. Some still want him dropped, while others accept his apology and call for empathy. Yes. Natalia Dyer (Nancy) and Charlie Heaton (Jonathan) have been in a relationship since around 2017. 'Friends don't lie.' – a recurring line from Eleven, considered the emotional core of the series. Millie Bobby Brown leads the list, thanks to acting roles, brand deals, and her beauty brand. For the most part, yes. The main cast has often spoken about their close bond, though some off-screen drama and scandals have occasionally stirred tensions.

Taylor Swift sits next to Trump supporter Wayne Gretzky at Stanley Cup Final; fans say ‘Trump will not be happy…'
Taylor Swift made an unexpected appearance at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Florida on Thursday night, turning heads not just for her presence but for who she was seen sitting with. The pop superstar, accompanied by boyfriend Travis Kelce, was pictured alongside hockey legend—and known Donald Trump supporter—Wayne Gretzky. The surprising seating arrangement sparked buzz online, especially given Swift's long-standing public feud with the former president, as reported by Daily Mail. Also Read: Did Trump earn over $50 mn from crypto? POTUS made massive amount by selling watches, sneakers and bibles The surprising sitting arrangement came during the third period, after which she was recorded watching the final unfolding alongside Kelce and Gretzky. While it is known that Gretzky is friends with Trump, the long feud between the pop star and the President is not a hidden fact either. Just a month ago, Trump aimed at Swift as he claimed that the singer is 'no longer hot' and he is the reason why. Gretzky has faced mounting criticism recently, in both Canada and the U.S., over his continued support and friendship with Trump, a stance that has stirred backlash across political and fan communities. Amid the controversy, Gretzky recently appeared on the popular New Heights podcast, hosted by the Bad Blood singer's boyfriend and his brother Jason, where he joined in a lighthearted conversation that touched on sports and legacy but avoided political commentary.

Some of Swift's fans were unsure if the picture was real, cloned or AI-generated as they could not believe Swift and Gretzky sitting next to each other. One user questioned, 'is this ai?' Another user wrote, 'Trump Will not be happy to see his friend Gretzky with Taylor Swift.'
