GREENBAY, WI. (THECOUNT) — Green Bay Packers star QB, Aaron Rodgers, reportedly spent a recent birthday with his parents, seemingly putting an end to a years long family feud of unknown origin.
The superfamous QB, who took serious heat on social media after not bothering to check up on his estranged parents while they were directly affected by the california wildfires, casually disclosed during a presser that he had spent his birthday with the pair.

Aaron was speaking with reporters about the firing of Packers head coach Mike McCarthy when he was asked when he found out. Aaron replied with the following, which quickly sparked parental-unit reconciliation rumors online:
“I found out I’m sure the same way most of you found out. I was at home with my folks in town for my birthday,” Rodgers said while speaking to reporters about the firing of Packers head coach Mike McCarthy.
TMZ reported last week that Aaron’s brother, Jordan Rodgers, of ‘Bachelorette’ fame, blasted his more talented sibling on social media for not calling mom while the family was preparing for a mandatory evacuation during the recent devastating California wildfires.
During Jordan’s hometown visit on “The Bachelorette,” he famously left an empty chair at the dinner table for Aaron, who refused to participate in the made for TV shenanigans.
Aaron’s ex-girlfriend Olivia Munn said last night when asked about the possible reunion outside Bowling Green, “If that’s true, it’s amazing, it’s long overdue.”
At the time, Munn reportedly encouraged Rodgers to reconcile with his parent but he stubbornly refused. Looks like it took a little pressure from his brother and a splash of social media’s wrath to give the baller a little push to remember to honor thy mother and father.
Aaron and Olivia dated from 2014 to 2017.
