Aaron Rodgers' ex-girlfriend, Olivia Munn, finally addressed on Monday the long-standing speculation that she was the cause of Rodgersβ estrangement from his family.
In a candid appearance on the "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard" podcast, Munn said,
βThereβs this whole big narrative that stayed with me. There was just this dynamic in the family that had nothing to do with me. It became this whole big thing, and people were like, βI canβt believe her, sheβs keeping this family apart.'"

She acknowledged that she knows the reason behind the rift, but stressed,

βItβs not my story to tell.β
Munn, who dated Rodgers from 2014 to 2017, said the narrative blaming her stuck with her for years, despite Rodgers himself publicly stating in his 2024 book Out of the Darkness that she had βnothing to do with all the yearsβ of family tension.
She also expressed gratitude that Rodgers finally addressed the issue once, saying it brought her relief, even if some people still refused to believe it.
βThank God somebody had read it and said, βOh, wait! Aaron speaks,ββ Munn shared. βI was really grateful that he did that. Even if people didnβt want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that it was said.β
Munn added that she was often unfairly blamed for Rodgersβ on-field struggles during their relationship, while receiving no credit for his successes.
Olivia's statements came 20 days after Aaron Rodgers publicly confirmed his marriage on June 10, during a press conference at the Pittsburgh Steelersβ mandatory minicamp. He revealed that he had been married for βa couple of months,β following speculation sparked by his appearance at the Kentucky Derby in early May, where he was seen wearing a wedding ring.
Rodgers has kept the details extremely private, but his wife is believed to be Brittani, a woman he first mentioned in December on "The Pat McAfee Show."
According to multiple reports, including Sports Illustrated and the Daily Mail, Rodgersβ brother Jordan Rodgers and sister-in-law JoJo Fletcher were unaware of the wedding entirely. A family insider revealed theyβve only heard about his wife, Brittani, βsecondhand from his parents.β
Meanwhile, Olivia Munn has been married to comedian John Mulaney since July 2024 during an intimate ceremony at a friendβs home in New York. Their relationship began in 2021, and theyβve since welcomed two children: son Malcolm Hiα»p in 2021 and daughter Magic Malc via surrogacy in 2024.
