So much for an Aaron Rodgers cameo on “The Bachelorette.”
With JoJo Fletcher set to visit the hometowns of her four remaining suitors next week, the Texas-bred beauty will be making a pit stop in Jordan Rodgers’ neighborhood in California. And while most of the Rodgers clan will be present for the meet-and-greet, the Green Bay Packers quarterback will be MIA as a result of his frosty relationship with his reality star brother.
“My middle brother won’t be there,” Jordan told JoJo during Monday’s episode. “Like I said, I have a great relationship with my brother Luke. Me and Aaron really don’t have much of a relationship.”
Jordan previously said his bond with Aaron was “complicated” on a podcast last month. He decided to elaborate, he said, for the sake of his lady love.
“It’s just kind of the way he’s chosen to do life, and I chose to stay close with my family, my parents and my brother,” Jordan continued. “It’s not ideal, and I love him. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in his shoes and have the pressure he has and the demands from people he has. Don’t have hard feelings against him. It’s just how things go right now.”
Jordan, a former Vanderbilt quarterback who’s now retired from football, assumed his Super Bowl-winning sibling had seen an episode or two of “The Bachelorette.” And with the eldest Rodgers sibling, Luke, set to make his debut next week (judging by the previews), there’s more to Jordan’s tale than he’s letting on.
“It’s something we don’t really talk about a whole lot,” Luke shares with JoJo.
Looks like the Rodgers family’s dirty laundry is heading to prime time — whether Aaron likes it or not.
