'He's very private and mysterious': AJ Hawk says as Aaron Rodgers sparks marriage rumors after wearing ring at Kentucky gala

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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

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.
