Looking Back at Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers’ Relationship Timeline: The Way They Were
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.

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.”
