Rumor has it that Aaron Rodgers, the NFL star quarterback, has found romance once again, and this time, it’s with someone you’ll easily recognize.
While his love life is always a hot topic, his rumored new flame is no stranger to the spotlight herself.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, 40, has been in the news thanks to his upcoming Netflix documentary series, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma.
But when he’s not throwing touchdown passes and aiming to take the Jets to new heights, Aaron Rodgers is all about self-improvement. The star quarterback swears by yoga, meditation, and even darkness retreats. He’s also been open about his game-day rituals. For example, Rodgers has shared that his usual postgame recovery involves a glass of Scotch.
But when it comes to his love life, things are much more hush-hush.

Who is Aaron Rodgers dating?
Aaron Rodgers has never been married, and he hasn’t confirmed that he’s currently dating anyone.
What we do know is that the quarterback has been linked to a long list of famous women. Back in 2011, he was rumored to be dating actress Jessica Szohr. While nothing was ever officially confirmed, the pair were spotted together in several romantic settings. According to Yahoo Entertainment, the relationship fizzled out in 2017.
Rodgers has also reportedly dated Magic Mike star Olivia Munn, model Kelly Rohrbach, and former pro racing driver Danica Patrick.

But perhaps his most headline-grabbing romance was with actress Shailene Woodley. They seemed to be the ultimate power couple and things looked serious. The two moved in together and even got engaged, with Woodley confirming the engagement on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Despite all the buzz, the couple never made it down the aisle, eventually splitting up in 2022.
The breakup was ”amicable,” a source told People and explained that their relationship ”just wasn’t working.”
Who is Aaron Rodgers’ girlfriend in 2024?
According to People magazine, it seems Aaron Rodgers is currently dating model Mallory Edens, 28. The two have been spotted sitting side by side at multiple Milwaukee Bucks games, and it’s no coincidence — Mallory is the daughter of Wes Edens, one of the team’s primary owners.
Last year, a source revealed to People that they are dating, although it’s ”nothing serious at all,” adding, ”It’s more than friends, but it’s casual. He’s not looking to rush into anything. It’s low-key for now.”

Mallory has spoken about their connection, confirming that Rodgers has a close relationship with her family. ”He sits next to us at so many games,” she said at the time. ”He and my dad are friends.”
In September 2023, Mallory was spotted supporting Rodgers from the stands during his debut with the New York Jets. Unfortunately, Rodgers suffered a season-ending Achilles injury just four plays into the game. But Mallory’s presence by his side hasn’t gone unnoticed.
In a subtle but sweet gesture, Mallory Edens showed her support for Aaron Rodgers after his horrific injury. Following Rodgers’ heartfelt Instagram post thanking fans for their well-wishes, Edens left a simple red heart emoji in the comments — speaking volumes about their connection without saying a word.
Who is Malloy Edens?
Aside from her modeling career, Mallory is also a writer and activist. The New York native graduated from Princeton University in 2018, where she was active in the school’s athletics department, as a mid-distance runner.
She was an avid equestrian, competing in numerous events, but her passion for riding took a dangerous turn when a devastating accident nearly claimed her life. Despite the close call, Mallory fought her way back.
”10 years ago today I fell off my horse, got kicked in the head on the way down, and woke up in the ICU with four skull fractures and a traumatic brain injury that changed my life,” she wrote on Instagram.

As the daughter of billionaire Wes Edens, who bought into the Milwaukee Bucks in 2014 and co-owns Aston Villa in the English Premier League, Mallory’s ties to the sports world run deep.
Mallory’s Instagram page reveals that she has signed with top modeling agencies, including Ford Models, Women Management, and One Management. She’s also the founder of her own production company, Little Ray Media.
Instagram plays a major role in her public image, where she often posts stunning photos and gives credit to her photographers. As a writer and activist, she’s had her work published in Time, with an essay titled The Problem with Pink Sport Jerseys that discusses issues in sports marketing related to women.
“There is nothing exceptional about a girl who is interested in sports,” she wrote. “But by confining girls and young women to a section of pink jerseys, we imply that there somehow should be.”
