In his new Netflix documentary, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma<\/em>, Aaron Rodgers<\/strong><\/a> opened up about his strained relationship with his parents, Edward<\/strong> and Darla Rodgers<\/strong>. While he credited his mom and dad with teaching him how to \u201cadapt\u201d and toughen up in the face of adversity, he also got candid about what led to his estrangement from multiple family members, including his parents.\n<\/p>\n Aaron\u2019s mom was born in 1958 in Mendocino County, California. She married Ed in April 1980, and the couple welcomed sons Luke, Aaron and Jordan.

At the time of their reunion at the American Century Championship golf tournament at Lake Tahoe, the quarterback had not seen his dad in years.<\/p>\n \u201cI could do a lot of things,\u201d Aaron recalled in the August 2024 book. \u201cBut I just thought, \u2018What\u2019s best in this moment, and what kind of gift could I give him?\u2019 Because I do love him. I don\u2019t have animosity toward him, even with all the stuff that\u2019s been said and done.\u201d<\/p>\n Soon, Aaron and Ed came face-to-face. \u201cIt had been so long since we even looked at each other,\u201d Ed said. \u201cI just kind of froze.\u201d<\/p>\n Aaron then broke their silence by simply saying, \u201cHi, Pops,\u201d and the two hugged and exchanged \u201cI love yous.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think that was what needed to happen,\u201d Aaron recalled telling his caddie and friend Jordan Russell<\/strong>. He told Ian, \u201cThat was a special moment.\u201d<\/p>\n Ed confirmed to The New York Times<\/em><\/a> in 2017 that Aaron hadn\u2019t spoken to his family since 2014. At the time, the NFL star was a quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, and his dad noted in his interview that \u201cfame can change things.\u201d<\/p>\nWho Is Aaron Rodgers\u2019 Mom, Darla Rodgers?<\/h2>\n
