Aaron Rodgers ex Olivia Munn ‘grateful’ he finally addressed family rift

Aaron Rodgers’ ex girlfriend, Olivia Munn, has shared some rare comments about the newly minted Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback. 

While the “Magic Mike” actress, 44, admitted that she didn’t watch his documentary, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, which was released in December 2024, Munn said she had a gut instinct about what the show would cover. 

During the Monday, June 30 “Armchair Expert with Dax Shephard” podcast, Munn said, “I knew what it was going to be.” 

“It was going to push a narrative that during my time with them, never would ring true. … There was this narrative that took hold because if you remember, back in the day, Jessica Simpson was hung out to dry for the Cowboys failures.”

You may recall Simpson getting heat for any of the Dallas Cowboy’s poor performances when she dated NFL quarterback Tony Romo from 2007 to 2009. 

Munn received some of the same heat when she dated Rodgers, 41, from 2014 to 2017, whenever he had a bad game. 

The actress was also criticized for having something to do with his estranged relationship with his family.  

“There’s this whole big narrative that stayed with me for so many years, but there was just this dynamic in the family that had nothing to do with me,” Munn told Shephard.

“It became this whole big thing, and people were like, ‘I can’t believe her, she’s keeping this family apart.’ People have speculated for many years what was the rift, and I know, but I’m not saying because it’s not my story to tell.”

Aaron Rodgers shares the truth about his family rift 

Rodgers’ cleared up some of these rumors in Ian O’Connor’s book, “Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers,” released in 2024. 

At the time, the NFL quarterback said his family’s issues were “deep-rooted” and confirmed that Munn had “nothing to do with all the years’ of prior estrangement.” 

“Thank God somebody had read it and said, ‘Oh, wait! Aaron speaks,’” Munn said on the podcast.

“I was really grateful that he did that. Even if people didn’t want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that it was said.” 

Munn and Rodgers have both since moved on from the relationship. 

After signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this month, Rodgers confirmed that he’s now married to a woman named “Brittani,” who has elected to stay out of the spotlight.

Few other details are known about the NFL star’s new wife. 

Munn married actor John Mulaney in 2024. The couple share two children together.
