Is Aaron Rodgers embarking on his new chapter with the Steelers as a married man?
Rumors about the MVP-winning quarterback’s relationship status are swirling once again after Rodgers, 41, was seen wearing a black band on his left ring finger Saturday in a photo shared by the Steelers after he agreed to a one-year, $13.65 million contract worth $10 million guaranteed.
Rodgers, who ended his free agency waiting game with Pittsburgh on Thursday, sparked marriage buzz earlier this spring when he sported a similar accessory at Kentucky Derby festivities in May.
Those in his inner circle, including pal and former Packers teammate A.J. Hawk, had “no update” on the matter at the time.
“Shocking, you know, no update from this situation, not gonna lie,” Hawk said on “The Pat McAfee Show” last month.
The ring appearance came months after Rodgers revealed in December 2024 that he is in a relationship with a woman named Brittani.
Before that, he was engaged to actress Shailene Woodley. They ended their relationship in 2022.
Rodgers also dated former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick for two years, with a rep for Patrick confirming to Page Six in July 2020 that they are “no longer together.”
Patrick, 43, recently alleged on “The Sage Steele Show” that their “emotionally abusive” relationship “wore me down to nothing.”
Reps for Rodgers did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment in the wake of Patrick’s claims.
The four-time league MVP is starting a new era in Pittsburgh after a two-year stint with the Jets.
Rodgers missed most of his first Jets season in 2023 due to an Achilles injury, but played in all 17 games last season.
He threw for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions during the 5-12 campaign.
Rodgers delayed his free agency decision while tending to personal matters, sharing in May that someone he is close to is battling cancer.
The Steelers had long targeted Rodgers this offseason after last year’s quarterbacks, Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, moved on in free agency.
Fields landed with the Jets on a two-year deal while Wilson joined the Giants on a one-year pact.
Pittsburgh finished the season at 10-7 and reached the playoffs before being ousted in the wild-card round by the Ravens.
Rodgers and the Steelers will open the season against the Jets at the quarterback’s former MetLife Stadium home on Sept. 7.
