Aaron Rodgers opened up on the“Not Just Football”podcast about his romantic history, saying he was“emotionally unavailable”in past relationships and that his biggest regret was not asking his now-wife Brittani to stay when they met back in 2017. It’s the kind of comment that plays fine in a podcast studio and very differently on the timeline, especially when you’ve dated Danica Patrick and been briefly engaged to Shailene Woodley in the years since.
Mallory Edens, who was linked to Rodgers in 2023, posted a response on Instagram that’s racking up screenshots.“My ex is currently on a press tour talking about how he never loved anyone he dated after 2017,”she wrote, adding,“Unfortunately for him, I am also on a press tour for a movie inspired by how down bad I was.”That movie is“Charlie Harper,”the romantic drama she coproduced starring Nick Robinson. The post does double duty: it answers Rodgers and promotes her film in the same breath.
So where does this land? Rodgers is married and reflecting; Edens is promoting a project and getting the last word in the same caption. It’s the rare celebrity back-and-forth where nobody has to dig for receipts, because both sides are saying the quiet part out loud on their own platforms. Do you think Rodgers overshared, or did Edens just win the internet? Sound off in the comments.
