David Bakhtiari shades Aaron Rodgers with Jordan Love wedding photo
Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari took an unexpected jab at Aaron Rodgers while celebrating the marriage of Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love and his fiancée, Ronika Stone, over the weekend. Bakhtiari, who became close with Rodgers while protecting him for 10 seasons on the Packers offensive line, said he wasn't invited to the Steelers quarterback's recent wedding with his mystery bride. 'Love is love. Congrats to the Loves,' Bakhtiari wrote on X, including a clip of Love and Stone dancing at their wedding reception. 'Just happy at least one of my quarterbacks invited me to their wedding.' Bakhtiari, who included a bulging eyes emoji, added that same message on his Instagram Story. The three-time Pro Bowler also responded to a tweet that said, 'So happy you and [wife] Frankie [Bakhtiari] were there, hope to see some pictures!! That other one probably had a 'commitment ceremony' to a ghost he saw in the dark,' and seemingly referred to Rodgers and his wife. 6 Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari said he wasn't invited to Aaron Rodgers' wedding, while celebrating the marriage of Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love and his fiancée, Ronika Stone. over the weekend.

It raised some eyebrows because Rodgers was close with Bakhtiari and his family off the field. He also didn't get off to a hot start with Love when the Packers selected his then-eventual replacement in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. 6 Offensive Tackle David Bakhtiari #69 of the Green Bay Packers looks on during an NFL football game against the Chicago Bear at Soldier Field on September 10, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.

Earlier this month, the former league MVP told reporters that he's been married 'a couple months' when asked about the black ring he had been wearing in the weeks prior. During an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show' on Tuesday, Rodgers explained that the person he married will remain private amid speculation about his wife's identity. 6 Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (8) throws during practice at NFL football minicamp, Thursday, June 12, 2025, in Pittsburgh.

He first revealed he had a new girlfriend during an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show' last December. Rodgers passed his physical Saturday and signed officially with the Steelers on a one-year deal that could be worth up to $19.5 million.

David Bakhtiari took a subtle jab at Aaron Rodgers in celebrating Jordan Love's wedding
David Bakhtiari spent 10 seasons protecting Aaron Rodgers on the Packers' offensive line. It's the kind of bond and respect that usually earns an offensive lineman a wedding invite from his quarterback. But hey, at least Bakhtiari is 1 for 2 in that regard. Packers quarterback Jordan Love celebrated his wedding with longtime partner and volleyball player Ronika Stone over the weekend. Plenty of Packers players were in attendance, and Bakhtiari was more than happy to celebrate Love's marriage. Yet, he still managed to voice how disappointed he was to be excluded from celebrating Rodgers' mysterious marriage with an unknown partner. Bakhtiari took to Twitter/X and shared a video from the reception, adding that at least one of his quarterbacks invited him to a wedding — a subtle swipe at Rodgers. When Rodgers arrived at Steelers practice, reporters noticed he was wearing a wedding ring. And since then, there have been some doubts that Rodgers is even married at all. The quarterback's estranged family voiced skepticism about the marriage, and none of Rodgers' closest friends appeared to score an invite. In an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers went on a rant about how his wife wants a life out of the public eye despite marrying an attention-seeking public figure. But, like, shouldn't Rodgers' friends at least get an opportunity to meet this person? Bakhtiari clearly felt snubbed.
