Aaron Rodgers’ Brother Jordan and His Wife Look Unfazed on Doughnut Run After NFL Star Said He’s ‘Losing’ Family
Jordan Rodgers is seemingly unbothered amid his brother Aaron’s admission that he’s “losing” relationships with friends and family.
Jordan, 36, and his wife JoJo Fletcher enjoyed a “morning doughnut run” on Thursday, Dec. 5 — just two days after the trailer release for Aaron’s upcoming Netflix docuseries, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, where the NFL star spoke about the “heartbreaking” demise of his personal relationships.
The couple — who met on ABC’s popular reality dating competition in 2016 — looked unfazed by the comments from Aaron, 41, as they posted a video on Instagram from their doughnut run.
“Getting our kolaches this morning because we haven’t had one in about 15 years,” JoJo, 34, said in the Instagram Story.
“And a maple bar and an apple fritter and some other stuff,” Jordan chimed in as the couple strolled arm-in-arm from the doughnut shop.
Jordan reposted the video from his wife’s Story and added, “I had never had a kolache until I met JoJo. Not a thing at Cali Donut Shops growing up. They slap.”
The couple’s sweet morning stroll comes just after fans dissected the trailer for Aaron’s upcoming docuseries, which will address the quarterback’s controversial opinions.
In the trailer, Aaron says, “Losing friendships, family. It was heartbreaking,” as the scene opens with him lying down for a sound bath. “I live between two worlds of the extroverted and an introverted lover of silence,” Rodgers says in the trailer.
“I’m trying to beat back Father Time and the expectations,” he adds.
Aaron’s family feud first came to light when Jordan appeared on JoJo Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette in 2016.
Jordan — who eventually wed Fletcher in 2022 — revealed while competing on the reality dating series that Aaron had distanced himself from the family, telling PEOPLE at the time that he wanted to “be honest” with Fletcher “every step of the way” during the show.
Jordan hasn’t provided any insight into what led to the brothers’ rift and Aaron’s estrangement from his family, but a source close to the NFL star previously told PEOPLE that it stemmed from a lifelong sibling rivalry. “[They] have always been competitive, and they’re always trying to one-up each other,” the source revealed. “It’s been that way since they were kids. They got older, and the stakes got higher.”
The upcoming three-part documentary series, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, arrives on Netflix on Dec. 17.
