Aaron Rodgers has finally addressed his "complicated" family situation which came to light when his estranged brother Jordan Rodgers competed on The Bachelorette starring JoJo Fletcher.

Jordan kind of threw Aaron under the bus by saying the NFL quarterback is estranged from the entire Rodgers family because of his priorities and the way he has "chosen to do life." And when Fletcher met Jordan's family in Chico, CA, Aaron was noticeably missing, as expected, from the dinner table.
Throughout it all, Aaron has surprisingly remained silent on the issue -- until now.
"As far as those kinds of things go, I've always found that it's a little inappropriate to talk publicly about some family matters," Aaron said during a Tuesday interview with ABC's WISN 12 News in Milwaukee. "So I'm just -- I'm not going to speak on those things, but I wish him well in the competition."
Aaron, who has been estranged from his family for years, also confirmed he's had no interest in tuning into Season 12 of The Bachelorette, which wraps next week.
"I haven't seen the show, to be honest with you, so it hasn't really affected me a whole lot," the Super Bowl MVP said after yesterday's training camp.
Theories about the brothers' estrangement continue to circulate -- including questions of whether Aaron's longtime girlfriend Olivia Munn and her good friend Brittany Farrar, who is Jordan's ex-girlfriend, had anything to do with the falling out.
Speculation exists a cheating scandal was a factor in the current state of Jordan and Aaron's relationship. Farrar had blasted Jordan on social media when The Bachelorette premiered, calling him a liar and fame-seeker. She said their relationship ended because he had cheated on her and not because he was focused on pursuing a football career as he had claimed.
Munn also alluded to the strained relationship between Jordan and Aaron in May while she was promoting her film X-Men: Apocalypse.
"Aaron doesn't really... I don't think he's really talked with his brother," Munn told Entertainment Tonight when asked about Jordan's The Bachelorette participation. "So, I actually don't know. It's complicated -- I'll say that."
The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison met both Jordan and Aaron and thought both guys were really personable and down-to-earth. The "complicated" situation therefore even leaves him baffled.
Jordan is up against Robby Hayes for Fletcher's heart. Jordan has been a frontrunner from the very start of the competition, winning her First Impression Rose and potentially her last rose on next week's season finale.
