Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' estranged family is reportedly questioning the validity of his secret marriage, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to the Daily Mail.

“The family is unconvinced the marriage is real,” the sources said, claiming it's possible that Rodgers, 41, “may have had a symbolic ‘commitment ceremony’ instead of a legally binding wedding.” The reported speculation came days after the Daily Mail Rodgers' estranged brother, former Vanderbilt quarterback and media personality Jordan Rodgers and his wife, JoJo Fletcher reportedly didn't attend the wedding.

“They are still angry that Aaron didn’t go to their wedding [in May 2022]," the source said. "He didn’t want to be with his brother on the biggest day of his life, so why should they twist themselves up over this wedding?”

Aaron Rodgers confirmed that he recently got married while addressing reporters for the first time since signing with the team last week during the first day of mandatory minicamp last Tuesday (June 10).

“Yeah, it’s a wedding ring,” Rodgers said in reference to a photo in which he was seen wearing a black ring on his left hand while signing his one-year, $13.65 million contract, which includes $10 million guaranteed, on Saturday (June 7) via the New York Post, “Been a couple of months.”

The four-time NFL MVP previously revealed that he was dating a woman named "Brittani" during his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show in December. Rodgers had addressed his estrangement from his brother on his Netflix docuseries Enigma last year.

“It wasn’t like I was super duper close with everybody in the family. I was close with my little brother,” Aaron said. “But in actuality, it goes back to stuff from high school that kind of made me feel distant. Stuff in college, stuff post-college.”

Rodgers said he "was quiet about" his family because "I thought the best way to do it was just don't talk about it publicly," however the fallout was depicted when Jordan, a former Vanderbilt Commodores quarterback and current SEC Network broadcaster, brought his future wife, JoJo Fletcher, to meet his family. Fletcher was introduced to Rodgers' parents, Ed and Darla, as well as oldest brother, Luke, and his girlfriend, while the show focused on two empty seats left for Aaron and his then-girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn.

“And what do they do? They go on a bulls**t show and leave two empty chairs,” Aaron said.
