Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers broke up back in 2017, but their relationship is still making headlines.
Munn and Rodgers began dating in 2014 after meeting at the 49th Academy of Country Music Awards. After going public with their romance, the pair began attending countless events together, including red carpets, award shows and more. Munn was also spotted at several Green Bay Packers games cheering on the team’s former quarterback.
In 2017, rumors swirled that Munn played a role in Rodgers’ estrangement with his family. However, both Munn and Rodgers vehemently denied the allegations. Later that year, Munn and Rodgers called it quits after three years of dating.
In New York Post columnist Ian O’Connor’s 2024 book, Out of the Shadows: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers, new details are revealed about the alleged rift between Munn and Rodgers’ parents, Ed and Darla. The biography includes interviews with Rodgers himself, his friends and his parents.

April 2017
Rodgers and Munn split after three years of dating.
May 2018
More than one year after their breakup, Munn broke her silence regarding rumors that she was the one to blame in Rodgers’ family drama.
“I met one brother, the one who was on The Bachelorette, Jordan. I was friendly with Jordan,” she said during an appearance on Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live. “I met the parents only a couple times, and before he and I started dating, he hadn’t spoken to the parents and one brother for like eight months.”
Munn also shared that she encouraged Rodgers to try to mend his bond with his parents.
“I just think it’s really important to try to mend things in a family, and I encourage that … I do believe that family and fame and success can be really complicated if their dreams are connected to your success,” she continued. “His father played football and is a sports chiropractor … They’re all in sports, and Aaron is one of the best, if not the best, quarterback to ever play the game. Their work has a direct connection to what he does.”
In 2024, Ed refuted Munn’s comments and claimed that the actress “just made stuff up to make herself look good.”
“She said the family was dysfunctional before she met Aaron, which is bull,” he said. “We were going to all of his games; we were staying at his house. We had a great relationship. Nothing bad was going on.”
June 2025
Munn made a rare comment about Rodgers and his family drama during an appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast. When Shepard asked if Munn had watched the 2024 Netflix documentary about Rodgers, called Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, she explained that she wasn’t interested in seeing it because she “knew what it was going to be.”
“It was going to push a narrative that during my time with them, never would ring true. … There was this narrative that took hold because if you remember, back in the day, Jessica Simpson was hung out to dry for the Cowboys failures,” she continued, referring to how fans sometimes blamed the singer when her now-ex Tony Romo didn’t play well.
“During the time that I was with [Aaron], he had three hail marys, I think two NFC championships — not wins — but he made it into the NFC championship, which is very hard,” Munn pointed out. “No one would want to talk about that. I didn’t get credit for any of the wins.”
Discussing the drama with his loved ones, Munn said that the issues between Rodgers and his family had “nothing to do with me” despite the “narrative” that was being told.
“It became this whole big thing, and people were like, ‘I can’t believe her, she’s keeping this family apart.’ People have speculated for many years what was the rift, and I know, but I’m not saying because it’s not my story to tell,” she said.
Munn praised Rodgers for insisting in Ian O’Connor’s 2024 book, Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers, that she had “nothing to do with all the years” of estrangement between him and his family.
“Thank God somebody had read it and said, ‘Oh, wait! Aaron speaks,’” Munn said. “You’ve been asking for the longest time. This is the constant conversation. The man himself is saying it. They don’t want that answer. … I was really grateful that he did that. Even if people didn’t want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that it was said.”
