Mallory Edens Responds to Aaron Rodgers' Comments on Past Relationships

Mallory Edens, a former girlfriend of NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, has responded to his recent comments about past relationships with a pointed social media post. Rodgers, who last year revealed he had married a woman named Brittani, spoke on the "Not Just Football with Cam Heyward" podcast about his romantic history.

During the podcast appearance, Rodgers stated he was "emotionally unavailable" for seven to eight years after first meeting Brittani, implying his previous relationships, including those with Danica Patrick and Shailene Woodley, occurred during this period. He also addressed his past relationships, criticizing Patrick for describing him as a "monster partner" and claiming Woodley had expressed a desire to sleep with another man before their engagement.

Edens, the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens, shared a social media post stating, "My ex is currently on a press tour talking about how he never loved anyone he dated after 2017." She added, "Unfortunately for him, I am also on a press tour, for a movie inspired by how down bad I was. Really exciting time for competing narratives!!" Edens is reportedly promoting a film she helped produce, titled "Charlie Harper."

Rodgers and Woodley began dating in 2020 and were engaged by December 2021, but they separated three months later. Woodley was recently asked by TMZ about Rodgers' comments while arriving at a pre-Emmy Awards event and responded with a laugh before leaving without comment.

Patrick and Rodgers dated from January 2018 until July 2020. Rodgers described Patrick as depressed and "not fun to be around" after her retirement from racing in November 2017. He also recounted a conversation about purchasing a house together, which he declined, and the subsequent counseling they underwent before their relationship ended. Rodgers disputed Patrick's account of their breakup as "blindsided" and that he left a "trail of blood around him."
