Actress Olivia Munn has finally addressed years of speculation suggesting she played a role in the estrangement between her former boyfriend, NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and his family. Munn, who dated Rodgers from 2014 to 2017, a period during which the rift became public, recently spoke candidly on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, setting the record straight on her alleged involvement.

Munn, now married to comedian John Mulaney with whom she shares a child, stated firmly that the issues within the Rodgers family predated her relationship with the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback. “There’s this whole big narrative that stayed with me for so many years,” Munn explained, “but there was just this dynamic in the family that had nothing to do with me.”

Her comments come at a time when Rodgers’ family dynamics are once again in the spotlight. Recent reports have surfaced questioning the legitimacy of Rodgers’ marriage to Mallory Edens, with sources suggesting a symbolic ceremony rather than a legally binding union. Adding to the speculation is the reported absence of Rodgers’ estranged brother, Jordan, and his wife, JoJo Fletcher, from the wedding. Sources indicate that the ongoing anger stems from Aaron’s decision not to attend Jordan’s wedding in 2022.

Munn’s attempt to clarify her position after so many years suggests a desire to move past the lingering narrative that unfairly implicated her in Rodgers’ family affairs. While the reasons behind the Rodgers family’s estrangement remain complex and personal, Munn has made it clear that she believes she was not the catalyst.
