Former NFL star Julian Edelman is a big TV fan, but he’s not watching any Real Housewives franchises.
“Right now, I am watching Landman,” Edelman, 38, reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly, proving that he’s Just Like Us. “Lioness, very good. Taylor Sheridan — I like his stuff. It is fun. It’s easy. That’s what I’m watching right now.”
However, when asked about his favorite Real Housewives franchise, Edelman didn’t have an answer.
“I don’t even know any of them,” he said. “My mom’s going to kill me because she loves that stuff.”

Yes, Edelman talks to his mom quite frequently and even visits with her to get his clothes washed. But don’t be fooled: the former athlete separates all his clothes himself.
“Last time I did laundry, I actually did it, like, a month ago at my mom’s house,” he told Us. “Mom, you lost your touch. I don’t like my colors and whites together, so I did it myself.”
Edelman actually spends quite a lot of time with both of his parents. The NFL alum told Us about how he got a speeding ticket once, with his dad in the car.
“Last time I got a ticket, unreal story. Literally right after I won Super Bowl MVP [in 2019], I went to my hometown area. I was taking my dad and three friends. We were going to go to my shop,” he recalled. “Then all of a sudden, I got pulled over. Hometown cop — well, it was a county sheriff — gave me a ticket. Speeding 14 [mph] over the speed limit.”

He continued to explain why they were going so fast.
“It was a weird section where you’re coming right before the freeway,” Edelman recalled. “I was going, like, 45 [mph] and then you slow down to get back on the freeway. It was a speed trap.”
Edelman joked that the police officer “clearly” did not know who he was.
For those who aren’t sports fans, Edelman played for the New England Patriots for 12 seasons from 2009 to 2020. He picked up some famous friends along the way and, yes, they snap photos together.
“The last famous person I asked to take a selfie with, I don’t even remember. Maybe [Rob Gronkowski]. It was just for friendship memories,” Edelman said. “But he’s famous.”
