Aaron Rodgers last dated Olivia Munn in 2017 after a three-year romance, but he sure has a lot to say about his time with the 44-year-old actress. Their relationship overlapped with his family feud and his younger brother Jordan’s appearance on The Bachelorette in 2016 — and now, the New York Jets quarterback is revealing it all in his new Netflix docuseries, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma.
The second episode of the three-episode series dives into Jordan’s Season 12 casting on the ABC dating competition show. His younger brother, who is now married to the Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher, experienced the hometown dates episode where family members and friends get the opportunity to meet their potential fiancée. That’s where the NFL star takes issue with the show’s producers — they knew there was a family feud going on and they played right into it.
The Rodgers family had a home-cooked meal at the dinner table with two glaringly empty chairs next to them. “And what do they do? They go on a bulls–t show and leave two empty chairs [one for him and one for Munn],” Aaron said on the streaming docuseries. “They all agreed this was a good thing to do, to leave two empty chairs at a stupid dating show that my brother just went on to get famous — his words, not mine. That he ended up winning. But a dinner that was during the [football] season, I was never asked to go to. Not that I would’ve gone.”
This isn’t the first time Munn has had to deal with the resurgence of headlines surrounding her ex-boyfriend. Earlier this year, the book, Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers by Ian O’Connor, addressed the Rodgers’ family feud. Aaron told the author that Munn had “nothing to do with” the “deep-rooted” argument even though some of his family members believed she was the “primary cause.” A source told People in August that Munn had moved on from the scandal that she was never really involved with.
“It’s been almost a decade of these ridiculous rumors, and I know she really appreciates Aaron finally shutting it down,” the insider said. “The Rodgers family has a lot going on, and she hopes they find some peace.” The athlete explained in his Netflix series that the feud began long before Munn ever entered the picture. “In actuality, it goes back to stuff from high school that kind of made me feel distant. Stuff in college, stuff post-college,” he said.
With Munn long out of the picture, the Rodgers family is still fractured and everyone seems to have a very particular point of view that does not match what Aaron has to say.
