Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a new lady in his life – Mallory Edens, the 26-year-old daughter of Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens. Rumors of a romance began swirling when Rodgers and Edens were spotted together courtside at a Bucks game in January 2023, seemingly confirming their relationship.
Rodgers, 39, coming off a disappointing season where he missed the playoffs for just the fourth time as the Packers’ starter, looked happy and at ease with Edens by his side. The two were spotted laughing and chatting throughout the game, at times seeming oblivious to the action on the court as they focused on each other.
“They looked very couple-y and comfortable together,” an onlooker at the game commented. “You could tell they’re really into each other by the body language and chemistry between them.”
This marks the first public relationship for Rodgers since his split from actress Shailene Woodley in February 2022 after a two-year engagement. Edens, meanwhile, previously dated Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard.
Rodgers foreshadowed this new relationship in recent interviews where he stated he was dating someone who was making him very happy. It seems Edens is most likely that mystery woman.
As the daughter of a sports franchise owner, Edens certainly understands Rodgers’ high-profile world as an elite NFL quarterback. Her father Wes bought the Bucks in 2014 alongside billionaire hedge fund manager Marc Lasry, turning the struggling small-market team into an Eastern Conference powerhouse.
With Edens a frequent fixture at Bucks games and involved in the franchise, she and Rodgers likely ran in similar circles. Her father Wes is also a part-owner of Rodgers’ favorite soccer club, Aston Villa.
The budding relationship between Rodgers and Edens appears to be progressing quickly, as the two have been spotted on several dates around Los Angeles. It’s clear they are enjoying getting to know each other better when not cheering on their favorite teams.
After years in the spotlight, Rodgers seems to have found a partner who shares his passion for sports. Many close to the quarterback hope this new romance with Mallory Edens could give him stability and happiness in his life after football.
