Aaron Rodgers Never Wanted to Be a Reality Star, Despite His Brother's Wishes

Proof the quarterback doesn't seek fame

Despite the fact that people are (or at least say they are) looking for love on The Bachelorette, anyone who goes into any type of reality show is well aware that there's a level of fame that will come with it. Part of that fame includes the willingness to share details about your personal life over and over and over again.

This is something Aaron Rodgers has never been OK with.

You see, long before Jordan Rodgers ever aired their family drama to JoJo Fletcher on television for the world to see, his older brother Aaron was doing his best to keep any and all of his personal matters out of the spotlight—which is not exactly easy for a person who is arguably the NFL's best quarterback.

In fact, in a radio interview in 2013, he expressed his desire to keep his personal life private. He noted how, due to the fame that comes with being a professional football player, there's always "crazy rumors that swirl" around him, which he never addressed because he's always wanted to maintain a level of professionalism.

"There's always going to be silly stuff out there in the media, you can't worry too much about it, and I don't. I just keep on truckin'," he said. "Professional is professional and personal is personal and that's how I am going to keep it."

Of course, some could argue Aaron wouldn't be dating a celebrity if he didn't want any added fame, and while that definitely adds a challenge in keeping his life private, he really doesn't play up his relationship with Olivia Munn.

The quarterback rarely posts photos on social media or speaks in interviews about his girlfriend, despite having been with her for more than two years. He's even addressed the media attention surrounding their relationship, explaining why it doesn't bother him as much as it used to.

"I'm real happy in my relationship. And I understand what comes with it," he told ESPN Wisconsin radio in 2014, shortly after they started dating. "And two, the last couple years I've learned a lot about perspective and what's important. And, that you cannot, when you've had success individually and collectively as a team and you are highlighted for the things you've done on the field and off the field, you cannot hide from the spotlight. You have to learn to embrace it."

Aaron doesn't just step back from sharing stuff about his girlfriend when it comes to social media—he rarely shares anything outside of news relating to his career.

While many celebs share their personal opinions and thoughts on major controversies or topics of conversation on social media, Aaron pretty much keeps to himself, flying under the radar so as to not call any more attention to himself than he already does. The proof lays in his Twitter feed, which is basically a collection of tweets about sports, charity work, television and more sports. He doesn't even have an Instagram account.

Needless to say, fame isn't something Aaron's ever actively sought, and thus, he has never—and likely will never—take part in a reality show...despite Jordan's desires.
