NFL legend Aaron Rodgers is always in the spotlight, whether he is on the field or not. However, the quarterback doesn’t like the spotlight much, especially when it infringes on his privacy.

By 2017, Rodgers was a well-known name in the NFL after winning the Super Bowl in 2011 with Green Bay and two NFL MVP awards. He was a celebrity by then, but in an interview with Mina Kimes of ESPN, published in September 2017, he revealed how fame affected his relationship.

“When you are living out a relationship in the public eye, it's definitely ... it's difficult,” he said.
