Aaron Rodgers left more than memories for Olivia Munn — a haunting truth she can’t shake

Celebrity relationships often come under a microscope, where even the most intimate details become public fodder. For Olivia Munn, her three-year relationship with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers was one such experience that left more than just tabloid headlines—it left lasting emotional scars and a cautionary approach to public disclosures about her private life.

Olivia Munn’s romance with Aaron Rodgers, which began in 2014, was steeped in controversy from the outset. Beyond the glitz of Hollywood and the stardom of the NFL, their relationship became a battleground of rumors, family tensions, and public scrutiny. Much of the media painted Munn as a divisive figure in Rodgers’ life, particularly highlighting the alleged strain between the quarterback and his family during their time together. It was speculated—if not outright assumed—that she played a role in that familial fallout.
What made matters worse was how every comment Munn made about her relationship, especially regarding their intimacy, made headlines. During a December 2014 appearance on , Munn candidly stated, "Not on game day," when asked about her and Aaron Rodgers' sex life. She added, "I try to have sex as much as I can," revealing their routine post-game.
"There's not a rule, but it just doesn't happen because there's other things to focus on." After the game though? That was another story.
"Depends on how late the game is," she continued

While such honesty was appreciated by some, it did not sit well with everyone—particularly Rodgers’ mother, Darla. As Ian O’Connor noted in Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers, “Darla did not appreciate how Munn joked about oral sex in an interview or how she publicly talked about her sex life with Aaron just before that loss at Buffalo.”
That level of backlash left an impression. It’s why, during her recent appearance on With Jenna & Friends, Munn took a more guarded approach when co-host Jenna Bush Hager asked about her sex life with husband John Mulaney. “No, I’m not judging,” Munn said. “I’m just not talking.”
Her silence isn’t just about privacy—it's about healing. Even without naming Rodgers, Munn hinted at unresolved trauma from that chapter of her life. “I didn’t really know how to answer it, and then my ex at the time was like, ‘You gotta go on Twitter and rectify it!’” she recalled. “I think I was being truthful and then I tweeted, it was a whole thing… I’m not adding to that today.”
On Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast, Munn opened up about being trapped in what she described as a deeply painful and confusing relationship. She spoke of a therapist who encouraged her to stay, despite her instinct telling her otherwise. “I don't know if there's a word to describe what that relationship was like. It was without a doubt the hardest period of my life,” she confessed.
Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers remains in the spotlight, but for a different reason. As speculation swirls about his next NFL destination—be it the Steelers or the Vikings—the veteran quarterback appears to be weighing his future carefully. Where he lands next will certainly spark conversation, but for Munn, the past is a chapter she’s no longer willing to narrate publicly.
Her silence, it seems, speaks louder than ever.
