Aaron Rodgers blasts ‘sick society,’ says fans will never see his wife — vows to vanish after final NFL season | NFL News
Aaron Rodgers is stepping into his final NFL season—and he’s already planning his total disappearance from the spotlight. In a brutally honest appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the 41-year-old quarterback confirmed what fans had long suspected: the 2025 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers will be his last. But it’s not just football he’s leaving behind—Rodgers says he’s retreating from public life completely, along with his wife, Brittani.

“I’m pretty sure this is it,” Aaron Rodgers said bluntly about his one-year deal with the Steelers. “That’s why we just did a one-year deal. Steelers didn’t need to put any extra years on it.”
While Rodgers promised to give Pittsburgh “everything I got,” he also made it clear he’s done chasing headlines. “When this is all done, I’m out; you won’t see me,” he said. “I don’t want to live a public life.”Rodgers’ clarity about walking away from fame underscores a deeper personal shift—one that includes his fiercely private marriage to Brittani.

Rodgers spent much of the interview defending his wife’s desire for privacy and slamming what he called a “sick society.” “Now I’m with somebody who’s private, who doesn’t want to be in the public eye,” he explained. “Didn’t sign up to be a celebrity, doesn’t want to be part of it.”The quarterback expressed frustration over paparazzi stalking his new life in Pittsburgh, including trying to photograph Brittani and even his dog, Apollo. “It’s a sick society, isn’t it?” he said.
Despite being in the public eye for two decades, Rodgers says he’s ready to cut the cord completely. “Just because I’m not selling wedding photos to the magazines… that’s just not what I want to do,” he said. He also warned fans not to expect family members to leak info either. “Any other ridiculous story about my family that I don’t talk to—they wouldn’t know any information about me,” he added.Also Read: “She made me better”: Patrick Mahomes says the woman everyone loves to hate, Brittany Mahomes—is the real reason behind his NFL greatnessAs Rodgers prepares to close the chapter on his NFL career, one thing is certain: when the final whistle blows, he won’t just be leaving the field—he’ll be vanishing from public view entirely.
