During Thursday\u2019s installment of the \u201cNot just Football\u201d podcast, the Steelers quarterback explained that his wife, Brittani, was the one that got away before his broken engagement with actress Shailene Woodley in 2022 and his split with former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2017, I met my wife, and at the time, she was leaving the states and going back to Europe,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cMy biggest regret is not begging her to stay and proposing right there because that sent me into a tailspin of \u2014 what can I be accused of as a partner in a relationship. I was emotionally unavailable for those 7 or 8 years because I had met the person that changed my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that, I just poured everything I had into football. I think I got a lot out of that, for sure. But I knew I was supposed to be with this one person and I couldn\u2019t; we were separated by an ocean for a lot of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodgers explained that Brittani had gotten engaged before he proposed to Woodley in December 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd luckily for me we came back together,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

Rodgers claimed Woodley took off her engagement ring in March 2021, and they reconciled that year before calling it quits for good in 2022. <\/p>\n

Rodgers accused both Patrick and Woodley of sharing false narratives about their relationships with him that made the former four-time NFL MVP look like a bad partner.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, Rodgers said he was \u201cemotionally unavailable\u201d while dating Patrick and Woodley after meeting his wife in 2017. <\/p>\n

He brought up Patrick\u2019s remarks in a May 2025 interview, when she said he left \u201ca trail of blood\u201d after their breakup \u2014 and comments previously made by Woodley that she was depressed over their breakup. <\/p>\n

Rodgers went public with his marriage to Brittani during his first season with the Steelers, though he\u2019s been cagey about details of his relationship and her identity remains shrouded in secrecy.<\/p>\n

He told reporters last June that the pair had been married \u201ca couple months\u201d when he was asked about his black ring on his wedding finger.<\/p>\n

Rodgers elaborated on their elopement during his appearance on the \u201cNot Just Football\u201d podcast on Thursday. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe eloped. So it was quick,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I had a little something set up when I was over there a surprise for her. That\u2019s about all I\u2019m going to say about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their backstory involved meeting in Texas. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe met in 2017, she as living in Austin and she had gone to the University of Texas, which is also kind of weird because I hated Texas forever,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 Then I found out that my grandfather\u2026 had gone to Texas as well. I was like, here\u2019s a school I had always disliked, but I liked Vince Young and I had him in the QB room for a week or two.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 She moved back over to Europe and we kept in touch and there were a couple times where I thought things would work out. Then she got engaged and I was like, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s done,\u2019 and I got engaged and I thought, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m done too.\u2019 but then obviously [Woodley] had her own prerogative and took her ring off in three months.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are no public photos of Rodgers and Brittani. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if she\u2019ll attend his Steelers games before he retires after this season. <\/p>\n
