Aaron Rodgers Rebuts Danica Patrick and Shailene Woodley on Teammate’s Podcast

His Sept. 10 podcast appearance challenges prior public accounts, introducing new disputed allegations that reshape the public narrative.

Overview

  • Rodgers spoke on the Not Just Football podcast on Sept. 10 and directly disputed public statements made by his former partners, airing his version of how those relationships ended.
  • He told hosts that Danica Patrick was 'depressed' during their relationship and rejected her 2025 claim that he left a 'trail of blood,' describing a lack of intimacy and a gradual break before their 2020 split.
  • Rodgers said he proposed to Shailene Woodley in December 2020, claimed she told him days later she wanted to sleep with another man, and said she removed the engagement ring by March 2021.
  • He reiterated that he secretly married a woman named Brittani after eloping in 2025, said meeting her in 2017 changed his emotional availability for years, and asked that his private life be left alone.
  • Major outlets have widely amplified Rodgers’s remarks while seeking comment from Patrick and Woodley, no legal action has been reported, and the exchange leaves the dispute unresolved as his retirement season draws near.
