Aaron and Jordan Rodgers are continuing to put their past rift behind them.
The formerly estranged brothers posed in a photo together, putting their arms around one another in a happy snap shared via a joint Instagram post on Friday, November 13.
“Great to see little bro @jrodgers11 in his element tonight @acrisurestadium. Really proud of how hard he’s worked to get to where he is now 👊🏻,” Aaron captioned the image.
Followers were surprised to see the pair together given how strained the dynamic between Aaron, 42, and Jordan, 38, had previously been.
“Got tears in my eyes over a reunion of two people who don’t know I exist,” commented one social media user, while another gushed, “The world is healing.”
Aaron had long been estranged from his parents and brothers throughout his NFL tenure. They recently reconciled thanks in part to Aaron’s wife, Brittani.
Appearing on the September 10 episode of Cam Heyward’s “Not Just Football” podcast, Aaron shared details of his recent reunions with his various family members.
“I went out to Nashville and met with my older brother,” Aaron said on the podcast, referring to his brother Luke, who lives in Tennessee with his wife and three kids. “A couple weeks after that, I met with my little brother. It was cool.”
Aaron further divulged that he and Jordan shared a “tough conversation” when they reconnected and explained Brittani was instrumental in helping him bridge the gap amid the lengthy family feud.
“I’m in a much better headspace, and I said it before, but my wife deserves a lot of the credit for that just to be even able to to get to that point where I could think about having the conversation,” Aaron said. “She was a big part of that, not that she was pushing anything, she wasn’t.”
He continued, “When you’re loved by someone in such an unconditional and beautiful pure way, it changes your perspective on all your relationships around that. That becomes your anchor point. It’s like, wow, if I can be made to feel like this by this person, it opens up your heart in a really deeper way, you know, that I never experienced before.”
Aaron reflected that there was a time that he could never imagine there would be a moment that an olive branch would be extended.
“I mean, a year ago, even two years ago, [and] five years ago for sure, I would have said, ‘No, I’m never going to reconcile,” he continued. “It’s just not going to happen. It’s not in the cards. I’m not ready for that. It was really built in judgment, just like ego and judgment. And ego and judgment gets in the way of any progress or evolution. I had to really put those aside.”
Aaron and Jordan had not been on speaking terms for years, which Jordan discussed when he was a contestant on The Bachelorette in 2016, where he met his now-wife, JoJo Fletcher.
“Me and Aaron don’t really have that much of a relationship,” Jordan said at the time. “It’s just kind of the way he’s chosen to do life and I’ve chosen to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother. Yeah, it’s not ideal and I love him and I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in his shoes and have the pressure he has, the demands from people that he has. Don’t have hard feelings against him, it’s just how things go right now.”
Aaron also discussed the estrangement with his family in his 2024 Netflix docuseries, Enigma.
“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. I was quiet about it. I thought the best way to do it was just don’t talk about it publicly.”
