One of the most talked about aspects of the quarterback's life is his controversial views, which includes his disapproval of the COVID-19 vaccine as well as his conspiracies about 9/11 and the devastating Sandy Hook shooting.

Rodgers had previously been estranged from his parents and two brothers, something that was vaguely discussed when sibling Jordan Rodgers, 36, competed on The Bachelorette in 2016.

The series will also explore his "spiritual journey," which he said "shifted" his life and sparked a "metamorphosis." Clips showed the Super Bowl champion out in the wild, doing sound baths and donning face paint.

Countless descriptions of the former Green Bay Packers star flash across the screen, such as "defiant," "legend" and "bold."

While Aaron previously kept quiet on his personal life, he shared in Ian O'Connor's 2024 biography that a reunion with his parents "is possible."

"It's just timing, just timing," he said. "Every time I think it's getting closer, some weird things happen. But I would like a relationship with my dad for sure."

His mom told the author of the situation, "We would be so happy to move on….Maybe we don't see him all the time. We're OK with however it's framed. The new relationship needs to start and it just feels weird that we can't communicate even big-life things with him."
