'He's very private and mysterious': AJ Hawk says as Aaron Rodgers sparks marriage rumors after wearing ring at Kentucky gala
NFL veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers perplexed fans and friends when he attended the 2025 Barnstable Brown Gala with what appeared to be a wedding band on his left ring finger. Aaron Rodgers, 41, was joined by close friend and former teammate AJ Hawk, who afterward confessed he had no clue why the Super Bowl-winning quarterback wore the ring — and that Aaron Rodgers wouldn't tell him either.
Aaron Rodgers keeps wedding rumors under wraps, even with close friends
When Aaron Rodgers made an appearance at the exclusive Kentucky Derby-eve gala on May 2, the chatter was not solely about the who's who of celebrities and athletes there. It was Aaron Rodgers' left hand — more particularly, the ring on his left hand — that caused immense rumor-mongering. Had the ex-Green Bay Packers quarterback secretly gotten married?
AJ Hawk, who spent close to a decade playing with Aaron Rodgers and was also at the gala with him, told The Pat McAfee Show that even he was taken aback.
'No update from this situation,' AJ Hawk spoke on May 6.
While Pat McAfee humorously asked if the gala was a wedding reception, AJ Hawk set the record straight, 'It was not a wedding party from what we knew. To tell you the truth, I don't know if I have any answers on that situation.' Even so, he did confess that Aaron Rodgers' refusal to speak about the situation only served to fuel the mystery. 'He's very private and mysterious when it comes to things like that, and this is definitely one of those, for sure.

The quiet has left his fans searching for clues. The quarterback has publicly admitted to his serious romance with Brittani—a woman he went public with in December 2024 but has kept mostly under wraps. Brittani is said not to use social media and likes to keep the relationship private.
During an April appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers stated, 'I'm in a different phase of my life. I'm 41 years old, and I'm in a serious relationship.
I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention. I have personal commitments I made, not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year that are important to me.'
Though his NFL future remains uncertain, AJ Hawk said Rodgers 'seems very happy' and praised his friend's physical and mental condition. 'But not a lot of clarity on this situation, I'm not going to lie,' Hawk concluded.

For the time being, his fans, friends, and former colleagues will simply have to wait and speculate about what the future holds for Rodgers' life both on and off the field.

Did Teyana Taylor break her divorce deal? Judge fines singer $70K in Iman Shumpert lawsuit
Iman Shumpert recently won in court (Image via Getty Images) This week, the divorce drama between free agent Iman Shumpert and his ex-wife Teyana Taylor took a new turn. The NBA player won the lawsuit against the singer, who was fined $70,000 for breaking the conditions of her divorce decree from 2024. According to a report from Us Weekly, she was convicted in contempt of court and was forced to pay the large sum to her ex-husband. Teyana Taylor was also asked by the judge to cover Iman Shumpert's legal costs. The judge further rejected her request that the player cover her legal costs. Iman Shumpert wins $70K lawsuit against ex-wife Teyana Taylor over divorce decree violation The legal battle of Iman Shumpert vs. Teyana Taylor is still continuing. Even though it was agreed in the divorce settlement that neither of them would reveal a word about the verdict, the singer spoke about the divorce in an online video in March. The clip later went viral on social media. In her footage, she appeared to be referring to her ex-husband, as she was heard stating: 'I have the proof that you're paying people to post this stuff.' According to Vibe magazine, she said in the video that she had proof that the NBA player had supposedly given the media access to the specifics of their divorce. In its most recent ruling, the court ruled that the singer was unable to provide evidence to support the statements she made in the video. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Shree TMT : The Steel You Can Trust Shree TMT Bars Learn More Undo The court document read: 'The court finds [Taylor] in violation of the Final Judgment and Decree of Divorce and is in willful contempt. It further read: 'It appears Taylor and her counsel failed to engage in even a minimal amount of diligence to determine whether her claim of contempt had any factual support at all before the petition was filed.' According to the court ruling, Teyana Taylor also declined to respond to enquiries from Iman Shumpert "about her assets and her income, further stating that such information was completely irrelevant to any issue."

She further said that the former Brooklyn Nets player reportedly gave the media details about their divorce. The judge, however, decided that she lacked sufficient proof to back up that assertion.
