**Aaron Rodgers Sparks Marriage Rumors After Joining Steelers**

Aaron Rodgers, the four-time MVP-winning quarterback, is generating buzz not just for his new NFL contract but also for his personal life. The 41-year-old was spotted sporting a black band on his left ring finger in a recent photo shared by the Pittsburgh Steelers, right after he signed a one-year contract worth $13.65 million, with $10 million guaranteed. This sighting has reignited rumors about his relationship status as he starts a new chapter with the Steelers.

Earlier this spring, Rodgers was seen wearing a similar ring during the Kentucky Derby festivities, which also sparked marriage speculation. Those close to him, including his former Packers teammate A.J. Hawk, have been tight-lipped about Rodgers' marital status. Hawk, on "The Pat McAfee Show," mentioned having "no update" on the situation, further fueling curiosity.

In December 2024, Rodgers publicly disclosed his relationship with a woman named Brittani, following his engagement to actress Shailene Woodley, which ended in 2022. Before Woodley, Rodgers dated former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick for two years. Patrick, 43, later described their relationship as "emotionally abusive," which she discussed on "The Sage Steele Show."

Rodgers' move to Pittsburgh marks a significant shift after his two-year stint with the New York Jets. His time with the Jets was marred by an Achilles injury in 2023, though he managed to play all 17 games in the following season. Rodgers delayed his free agency decision to focus on personal matters, revealing that someone close to him is battling cancer.

The Steelers have eagerly pursued Rodgers this offseason, especially after last year's quarterbacks, Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, moved on. Fields signed a two-year deal with the Jets, while Wilson joined the Giants on a one-year pact. Last season, the Steelers finished with a 10-7 record and reached the playoffs, only to be eliminated in the wild-card round by the Ravens.

Rodgers and the Steelers will kick off their season on September 7 against the Jets at MetLife Stadium, where Rodgers previously played. The upcoming season promises to be an intriguing one, both on and off the field.
