Aaron Rodgers had nearly his entire family cheering for him on the sidelines following the group’s unexpected reunion earlier this year.
“Last weekend was pretty special. 💛🖤,” Aaron’s brother Luke Rodgers wrote via Instagram on Sunday, October 18, alongside throwback photos from the Steelers’ October 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. (The Steelers won 34-22.)
Before kickoff, Aaron, 42, greeted Luke, 44, and his wife, Aimee Rodgers, at Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium with their three young children. The siblings’ parents, Ed and Darla Rodgers, were also present. (Aaron and Luke’s younger brother, Jordan Rodgers, did not appear to be in attendance, though he did “like” Luke’s post.)
Luke’s family later watched the quarterback’s game from a private suite before their brood reconvened at a private residence. In additional snaps, Aaron was seen cuddling his niece and nephew.
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.
“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, who announced his marriage in June 2025 after a private courtship, said on the “Not Just Football” podcast last month. “She was a big part of that, not that she was pushing anything, she wasn’t.”
He continued at the time, “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.”
According to Aaron, he visited with his parents at their California hometown before traveling to meet with Luke in Nashville.
“A couple weeks after that, I met with my little brother. It was cool,” Aaron noted, noting he had a “tough conversation” with Jordan, 38. “There was some stuff there and then I could tell I was coming to a time where I needed to make it right.”
Jordan first detailed the siblings’ estrangement on now-wife JoJo Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette in 2016, revealing that Aaron wouldn’t join their relatives for his hometown date. Aaron later criticized Jordan for publicizing the drama.
Fresh off his team’s October 12 victory, Aaron led the Steelers to a 26-19 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
