Amidst all the buzz surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, it seems that Aaron Rodgers might be feeling a bit overlooked.
While Travis Kelce utilized his podcast to discuss his initial efforts to win over Taylor Swift, Aaron Rodgers didn’t appear particularly inclined to do something similar when Pat McAfee offered his show as a platform for the Jets quarterback to pursue a romantic connection with Britney Spears.
On Tuesday, during his weekly appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers was recounting the motivational speech he delivered to the Jets, which included incorporating some of Spears’ dance moves.

In response, Rodgers’ former teammate, A.J. Hawk, who is now part of the show, offered a suggestion: “She’s divorced. You should give it a try. Having a high-profile celebrity relationship is a big deal.”
McAfee chimed in quickly, saying, “Yeah! And Travis did it on the ‘New Heights’ pod, remember? The floor is yours!”
However, Rodgers, who earns a seven-figure income annually for his appearances on McAfee’s show, didn’t seem particularly enthusiastic about the idea.
“Listen, I’m really focused on my rehab right now,” Rodgers responded, prompting laughter from McAfee and Hawk.
Our sources indicate that Rodgers recently ended his relationship with Mallory Edens, the heiress of the Milwaukee Bucks. He is now reportedly linked to Maya Aviezer, an Israeli runner.
As for his remarkable comeback attempt, Rodgers attempted to temper expectations by acknowledging the various hurdles he needs to overcome before his return to the field this year becomes a reality.
“Another marker’s going to be jogging,” Rodgers stated. “And then another marker is going to be going through a pregame workout probably and getting on the practice field. All these are going to take time. It’s not just going to be a quick process. These are all progressions that take time. But obviously, we’re ahead of schedule.”
While Rodgers and Britney would certainly be a high-profile couple rivaling Travis and Taylor, it seems like it might just be wishful thinking.
