“They Go on a Bulls–t Show”
In 2016, Jordan appeared on The Bachelorette—and, incidentally, he’s been married to rose-bearer JoJo Fletcher since 2022.
When he brought JoJo home to meet his folks and eldest brother Luke Rodgers, there were two empty chairs at the dinner table—purportedly for Aaron and then-girlfriend Olivia—and all of a sudden millions of people found out the Packers QB was estranged from the rest of the family.
“We miss our brother,” Luke said on The Bachelorette. “We just are trusting that God brings things full circle. And just wish that everything would just get back to us being a family.”
But Aaron threw a flag on the play.
“They go on a bulls–t show and leave two empty chairs,” he said in Enigma. “They all agreed this was like a good thing to do, to leave two empty chairs at a stupid dating show that my brother just went on to get famous—his words, not mine—that he ended up winning.”
Aaron reiterated in the series that he was never even invited to the dinner, which was held during the NFL season.
A dinner “I was never asked to go to,” he said, “not that I would have gone.”
E! News reached out to Jordan, Ed and Darla for comment on what Aaron had to say in Enigma but has not yet heard back.
Jordan told E! in 2016 after his hometown episode aired that he “made a commitment to go on there and be honest with JoJo and make sure that she knew everything” about where he was coming from.
