QB Aaron Rodgers married someone ‘a couple months ago.' So who is the mystery woman?

QB Aaron Rodgers married someone ‘a couple months ago.' So who is the mystery woman?

Aaron Rodgers revealed at a press conference Tuesday that he secretly married someone 'a couple months ago,' but he didn't reveal any basic details, such as the name of his questionably lucky bride.
Yes, 'questionably lucky' because two of his famous ex-girlfriends, Danica Patrick and Shailene Woodley, have been vocal in recent months about how each of their respective relationships with the divisive NFL quarterback were 'emotionally abusive' and 'toxic.'
'Everything was torn to bits,' Patrick said on the May 21 episode of 'The Sage Steele Show,' People reported. 'Yeah, he leaves a trail of blood,' the former race car driver said about Rodgers, who just signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
'I don't think I'm saying too much earth-shattering stuff after we — there's been enough out there,' Patrick said.
Meanwhile, Woodley told Outside magazine in December that her relationship with the former Green Bay Packer star, which ended in 2022, 'was a toxic situation.' The 'Big Little Lies' star also previously said that the 'darkest, hardest time in my life' took place in the fall of 2021, a time that coincided with the final months of her relationship with Rodgers and when he sparked national controversy by ranting critically about the COVID-19 vaccine.
Back in December, the 41-year-old Rodgers, then playing for the New York Jets, revealed that he had a new girlfriend named Brittani while appearing on the 'The Pat McAfee Show,' according to People. He casually dropped the news about Brittani while discussing his Christmas shopping habits. He admitted to feeling some holiday stress when the gift he ordered online for Brittani was late in arriving.
'There was one package left for my girlfriend Brittani that hadn't showed up yet,' Rodgers said. 'I was waiting on this to show up, it showed up today.'
The revelation appeared to catch host McAfee off guard, People reported. AJ Hawk, McAfee's cohost and Rodgers' former teammate from the Green Bay Packers, jokingly asked, 'Spears?'
'Not Brittany Spears, no, this is Brittani with an 'i,'' Rodgers clarified, going on to say that his new partner doesn't watch 'The Pat McAfee Show' and doesn't have social media.
The football player has long said he generally prefers to keep his personal relationships private, and he's been reluctant to discuss his infamous estrangement from his Chico-based parents, Ed and Darla Rodgers. He, nonetheless, has found himself in several high-profile romances, going back to actor Olivia Munn, whom he dated from 2014 to 2017.
That relationship may have been a factor in his estrangement from his parents, or Rodgers began to bristle at their 'dogmatic religious' beliefs when he was playing football at Butte Community College, before transferring to UC Berkeley to play for the Golden Bears, according to ESPN.
After ending things with Munn, Rodgers dated Patrick from 2018 to 2020. They even purchased a home together in Malibu, but Patrick told Steele they experienced a 'sudden' breakup in the summer of 2020, during COVID-19 lockdown. Rodgers soon became secretly engaged to Woodley, which the 'Divergent' actor revealed in a 2021 interview with Jimmy Fallon.
But the romance with Woodley only lasted another year. Rodgers followed up Woodley by becoming romantically linked in 2023 to Mallory Edens, a model and the daughter of one of the Milwaukee Bucks' primary owners, Wes Edens, People reported.
Now, there's possibly Brittani — with an 'I,' She could possibly become America's new favorite WAG. That is, wife or girlfriend of a professional athlete. If so, Brittani would probably have to start showing up at games to cheer her husband on, like Taylor Swift, Brittany Mahomes, Simone Biles and the 49ers' Olivia Culpo and Kristin Juszczyk. But Brittani probably will need to get on social media so she can post photos of her game-day fashion choices.

John Mulaney condemns threats against family after Olivia Munn's Ms. Rachel comments

John Mulaney condemns threats against family after Olivia Munn's Ms. Rachel comments Show Caption Hide Caption Olivia Munn rejected seven-figure-offer after 'traumatic' on-set incident During an appearance on Monica Lewinsky's 'Reclaiming' podcast, Olivia Munn revealed that she rejected a seven-figure offer to sign an NDA after a 'traumatic' on-set incident. unbranded - Entertainment John Mulaney is speaking out against violent threats directed at his family. The comedian, 42, said in an Instagram story on Wednesday, June 11, that his wife, Olivia Munn, and their kids have been receiving "violent and threatening" comments and messages because she made an "innocent comment" about "what children's programs we like," which has "somehow — unbelievably — been conflated with not caring about the deaths of children in Gaza." Munn recently sparked backlash after she told People magazine she doesn't allow her children to watch YouTube star Ms. Rachel. Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, has been outspoken in her advocacy for Palestinian children, though Munn made no mention of this in the interview. "This is absolutely insane and needs to stop," Mulaney wrote. "The people doing this are so wildly out of line and so unhelpful to any conversation. You took a nothing comment to a dark and dangerous place. This kind of behavior isn't activism." In the original People article, which is no longer available on the magazine's website, Munn said that while "I know kids love (Ms. Rachel)," the "thing is, if I can't watch it, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy." She added, "These kid shows drive me crazy." Munn also said that "Blue's Clues" is not allowed in her house, either, and that she "can't take" children's cartoons. Ms. Rachel defends advocacy for Palestinian children amid backlash: 'It's sad' Accurso reacted to the comments on Instagram by asking, "WHO CARES?!" She shared screenshots from two Instagram posts about Munn's statements and questioned why media outlets were focusing on this instead of Accurso's advocacy for children in Gaza. "I'd rather you cover me advocating for kids in Gaza who are literally starving, largest cohort of child amputees in modern history, thousands & thousands killed — no medical care, no education, no homes… do better!!!" she wrote, clarifying she doesn't "care that (Munn) doesn't want to watch the show" and sends "all my love to her and her family." Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé in these 10 bingeable memoirs In a statement posted on Instagram on June 12, Accurso urged her followers to "please be kind" to Munn and her family and condemned "hate, attacks or hurtful comments." She said that her callout of the People article wasn't about Munn but rather about being frustrated with seeing "stories that don't matter" while "children's immeasurable suffering is being ignored." The YouTube star also revealed she has been in touch with Munn. "I know some outlets would love to cover a feud between two women, but guess what? That doesn't exist," she said. "Her and I have been in touch and we are both choosing kindness." In a since-expired Instagram story, Munn wrote that her "comments were never meant to diminish the joy, comfort, and impact (Ms. Rachel) brings to so many families," according to Entertainment Weekly. "Every parent understands the importance of finding meaningful programming that helps us connect with our kids. I don't want something taken out of context to be a moment that steals even a minute of joy for anyone."

Pat McAfee reportedly thinks he can do College GameDay better on his own

Pat McAfee reportedly thinks he can do College GameDay better on his own Two seasons as a host on ESPN's College GameDay has Pat McAfee wondering if he should leave the band and start touring solo. Granted, there's still a long way to go before that could even happen — McAfee has two years left on his GameDay contract — but according to The Athletic's Andrew Marchand, the thought of leaving ESPN's flagship college football show to start his own version has crossed McAfee's mind. Per The Athletic: "McAfee has mused with associates about starting his own, independent version of GameDay, according to sources briefed on discussions. This does not appear to be happening, at least not now. But he is mercurial and can make big decisions seemingly on whims. McAfee cares about his image. During a GameDay stop in Norman, Oklahoma, last fall, McAfee grew upset about being shown swinging and missing during a segment in which he faced a University of Oklahoma softball pitcher. McAfee, according to sources briefed on the incident, demanded to know the name of the GameDay staff member who put it on the air, but he was denied the information. Marchand also noted that contractual obligations haven't stopped McAfee from making career-altering decisions in the past. The former Indianapolis Colts punter left FanDuel in the middle of a reported four-year, $120 million deal to sign a licensing agreement for The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN. A solo McAfee show would surely face some serious trouble finding its footing on campuses as the biggest college games of the week are already dominated by GameDay and Fox's Big Noon Kickoff — both of which have network deals with the biggest conferences. Then again, there would be plenty of people happy to see McAfee's antics move far away from College GameDay. Considering McAfee has never been shy about bashing people who talk about him, we'll see if he has any response here soon enough.

Referee cameras to debut at FIFA Club World Cup games. Fans get to see through refs' eyes

Referee cameras to debut at FIFA Club World Cup games. Fans get to see through refs' eyes Show Caption Hide Caption FIFA's new referee cam provides amazing view of action USA TODAY Sports' Safid Deen takes a look at the new camera attached to the referee's earpiece, giving fans a new perspective. Sports Pulse MIAMI – One unique way the FIFA Club World Cup will appeal to fans this summer is the introduction of the referee camera, which will provide viewers with point-of-view action they've never seen before watching soccer games. FIFA referees will wear tiny cameras on the sides of their heads, connected to a microphone and transmitter that will send the video to DAZN – the company broadcasting all 63 Club World Cup matches for free on its app and website. The video will also be shown inside six NFL stadiums during Club World Cup games so fans can experience the referee's decision-making process and enhance transparency during on-field reviews. Sports fans are typically accustomed to seeing cameras zoom in on referees making announcements during NFL and NBA games, while MLB fans have recently experienced the home-plate umpire's point of view from cameras on their facemask. If it goes well, maybe referee cameras could infiltrate the viewing experience in other sports. 'The main purpose is to offer the TV viewers a new experience," FIFA Referees Committee chairman Pierluigi Collina told USA TODAY Sports this week during a Club World Cup referee training session in Miami. Referees will place customized molded earpieces into their right ears, then watch a screen as they adjust and tighten their cameras to the ideal angle for capturing the action. Two wires – one for the camera and the other for a microphone – will be clipped on the back collar either on the referee's uniform or an undershirt. And the transmitter, called a ballpack, will be placed in their shorts' pocket. FIFA tested several cameras, including some at chest level, but felt the side of the ear resulted in the best perspective. It offers a direct line of sight of the referees, especially when they turn their heads – something that wouldn't be offered if they wore a body camera on their chest. 'We were thinking about what's the best way to attach the camera,' said German referee Nicolas Winter, whose idea has come to life for the Club World Cup and could be employed by FIFA for other matches in the future. 'For us, it was important to have the original point of view of the referee because when you have a body cam and move your head to the right or left, you never really have the original point of view.' Added FIFA Director of Innovation Johannes Holzmuller: "If we replicate the referee view, it should really be 100% what the referee is looking at.' FIFA announced its referee cameras late last week, sharing a video of Pachuca's Oussama Idrissi dribbling around several defenders to score a goal in their win against Botafogo in a FIFA Intercontinental Cup match last December. The referee's camera captured the player receiving a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, the player's creative playmaking before firing the shot, the roar of the crowd and defenders helplessly looking up at the referee after the score. 'The view from the referee's camera was amazing,' Collina said. 'It's interesting.' Holzmuller says the video transmitted will be in 1080i quality, sent over a private 5G network so DAZN and the stadiums can use the video. Referees have worn the devices during their training sessions to get used to their ear molds, which aim to make the wearing experience more comfortable for them. The referees will also have assistance putting on their camera devices before matches to ensure they are recording as soon as matches begin. 'From there, it goes live on air,' Holzmuller said. FIFA will use the findings from the Club World Cup to create guidelines and explore the use of them in future matches. It's possible it could be a mainstay for soccer broadcasts – including next year's FIFA World Cup. Along with improving the fan experience, the referee cameras could also help them improve their craft. 'I was sitting at home on my couch seven years ago, thinking about how to improve refereeing,' Winter said. 'We have 30+ camera angles in a top match, but we can never see our own perspective after a match again. It's really helpful for us to analyze matches – like our positioning, for example. But I think it's good to give the audience and spectators a more transparent view, so they can understand what it means to be a referee. 'Of course, we are all human. We all make mistakes. But I think it's always good to show everyone the way decision making works.'
