Newlywed Aaron Rodgers took in the Malibu sunshine solo Wednesday — less than two weeks after revealing he tied the knot with a mystery woman.
Dressed in a white tank top and light blue shorts, the new Steelers quarterback walked along the sandy shores by himself as his yet-to-be-identified bride stayed out of sight.
Buzz surrounding Rodgers’ relationship status spiked earlier this month when the former league MVP was photographed wearing a black band after he agreed to a one-year, $13.65 million contract to be Pittsburgh’s QB1.
Days later, Rodgers — coming off an unremarkable two-year stint with the Jets — confirmed to reporters from Steelers practice he’s been married for a “couple of months.”
The Super Bowl-winning quarterback, 41, was dating a woman named Brittani as of December 2024.
In the wake of this month’s marriage bombshell, speculation has swirled over the validity of Rodgers’ union, with insiders recently telling the Daily Mail how “the family is unconvinced the marriage is real — and suspect Rodgers may have had a symbolic ‘commitment ceremony’ instead of a legally binding wedding.”
Some of Rodgers’ relatives, with whom the quarterback has had frosty relations, are also said to know little about Brittani.
“Jordan and JoJo didn’t go to the wedding and don’t even know anything really about Brittani,” a source previously told the Daily Mail of Rodgers’ younger brother Jordan and his wife, former “Bachelorette” star JoJo Fletcher.
“‘What they’ve heard is secondhand from his parents [Ed and Darla].”
Rodgers’ relationship with Brittani has largely been out of the spotlight compared to past romances.
He was previously engaged to actress Shailene Woodley, with the couple parting ways in 2022.
Before that, Rodgers dated retired NASCAR star Danica Patrick for two years.
Patrick recently spoke out about her time with Rodgers, alleging their “emotionally abusive” relationship “wore me down to nothing.”
“Someone that you know, people could never imagine that I would lack any confidence, or belief in the simple things about who I am. Everything was torn to bits. He leaves a trail of blood. I don’t think I’m saying too much earth-shattering stuff after we — there’s been enough out there,” Patrick said in May on “The Sage Steele Show.”
“But it gave me the greatest gift, which is myself. It gave me the greatest gift of how much I needed to show up for myself and take care of myself.”
Reps for Rodgers did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment after Patrick’s remarks.
The Steelers report to training camp in late July. They open the season on the road against Rodgers’ ex-Jets team Sept. 7.
Rodgers, who missed most of the Jets’ 2023 season due to an Achilles injury, tossed 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions last year.
