Olivia Munn and Packers QB Aaron Rodgers got together in 2014, back when Olivia’s face hadn’t changed so dramatically from “potatoes.” I actually thought they were a really weird couple from the start but I never thought that they would end up dating for nearly three years. Here we are though – they lived together, they faced down tons of drama together, and now they’re done.
Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers have split.
“They have amicably ended their relationship of three years,” a source close to the situation confirms to PEOPLE exclusively. The source says the couple “remains close friends and wish nothing but the best for each other moving forward.”
The actress, 36, and Green Bay Packers quarterback, 33, began dating at the end of 2014. Munn and Rodgers’ breakup comes two months after the couple fueled engagement rumors in January when she was spotted wearing a diamond sparkler on her left-hand ring finger. Throughout their romance, Munn had often supported and cheered on Rodgers’ NFL career. And while the athlete rarely addressed his relationship in public, he did defend her after it was speculated that she contributed to his strained relationship with his father and younger brother Jordan, who competed on JoJo Fletcher’s season of the Bachelorette.
“Olivia doesn’t really have anything to do with it,” a source previously told PEOPLE. “This is not her issue; this is the Rodgers family issue. Aaron has never wanted want to air this out in a public forum. He will deal with his family issues privately.”
Yes, they apparently dealt with a lot of sh-t from his family and Olivia absolutely got “blamed” for the Rodgers’ family estrangement. I can buy that his family was iffy on Olivia and that she was part of the reason for the estrangement, but I always thought there was a lot of other stuff going on too. Which is probably one of the reasons why Olivia and Aaron are breaking up now – he has some stuff he needs to work on. Maybe she does too. In any case, they made it a lot longer than I thought they would, so let’s count that as a win.

I honestly wonder what role extensive plastic surgery plays in breakups like these. When one partner has their original face and the other can barely move it, surely that has to take a toll on commutation? Physical attraction?
I was thinking he was tired of her new “Japanese purple potato” ( still side eye that explanation for her new face) face too. But then again it could have just been that being with him was no longer giving her the attention level she needs and she wants to get with a bigger media persona to elevate her own standing in the public/media.
Either way I never thought they were a real relationship.
Exactly. Three years with the guy and she still isn’t a star. Hopefully this means she will never become one. And many of us never believed the “relationship”.
Yeah, her new face is awful.
It’s the combination of extreme weight loss and plastic surgery that really mess up so many female celebrities’ faces. One thing Jennifer Aniston got right is to know when to stop with the Botox and fillers and gain a bit of weight as she aged to make her face fill out naturally.
I’m bummed about this. I liked them together. She seemed to help him show his goofy side. They seemed like a fun couple.
I’m weirdly bummed about it and I don’t really care about either of them. But because of all the family drama, I guess I got a tiny bit invested in them as a couple after all.
All that shit talking regarding the family was all in vain I guess. Not like I believed that pr relationship #Aaronisgay
Correct. He has been in a relationship with his friend Kevin for years.
Hence the “stuff he has to work on” comment.
That was the rumor long before he started with her.
Mmmhmmm.
I also wonder how much professional frustration fits in there.
Hers or his? Or both?
Both.
Professional frustration or sexual frustration?
I know the rumors (like, the detailed, whole picture rumors) and I feel incredibly uncomfortable speculating like that. I think that either way you slices it he has big issues with his family; the Pack made it far last year but we hear about infighting and discontent; and Munn is an actress and i hear that the opportunities aren’t big for acting in Green Bay.
He is gay.
IKR? I thought everyone figured this was a contract relationship to give him a straight image.
I often wonder what the beard does in a long term contract. Do you date someone secretly? Three years is a long time to not go out to dinner with your real man/men. SEEms like a drag. Or do you just bang someone casually? Or…. go celibate?! Ugh, terrible.
Some sports blogger apparently said the rumor was that the brother stole from Aaron (after being kind of a leech for years) and he finally had enough of it….but his parents blamed Olivia & Aaron instead of the brother. I can imagine there was a lot of drama though…his family is super right wing/hardcore Christians apparently and he is pro gay rights. Not to mention apparently she exposed his brother as a cheater because he cheated on a good friend of Olivia’s before he went on reality TV (and I can understand outing someone as a cheater tbh in certain situations).
It’s a really big deal to cut off family the way Aaron did, and I just have such a hard time believing that t would be over something as mild as “they don’t like Olivia”. And he cut them off HARD. Like, didn’t even go to his grandfather’s funeral.
@Bridget
Agree. I also suspect it’s more on his family, since they are the ones who ran to the press and blabbed his personal business on a reality tv show.. The younger brother had one brief job and basically rides off Aaron’s coattails….So I’m kind of Team Aaron right now.
I Have so Many Snarky thoughts, none of them is going to win me any awards today but also I find them too boring to go on in about contracts, surgery, attention and such the like but… the bore me ( also I look at him throught slits cause he looks like a guy I used to sans ropas with which was amazing in the sack but otherwise a massive F*ck up
I’d say that last little bit was darn good QQ commentary!
p.s. would love a QQ dictionary to elevate my vocabulary 😉
QQ, you are a constant education to me. You just made me look up ‘Sans Ropas”, and I was directed to a charming site called “the rantings of a creole princess”. She sounded like some-one who I would love to have as a friend, and who knows whereof she speaks. I should add, I am not in any way a creeper, I just love your entertaining elucidations on many and various subjects…… you School, me, you might say. Rock on!
“Sans ropa” LOVE THIS.
I am totally stealing this Spanglish euphemism from you QQ!
Oh please, that hanger-on “friend” that he had a fall-out with and that rumor spread. No one knows if he is gay. I once saw a youtube clip of AR before he was drafted and that one blonde Victoria Secret model was interviewing him and he was so damn flirty, he even lowkey asked her out. Well if he is, that’s his thing, but I actually believe he’s straight.
As long as she stays away from my beloved Boyd Holbrook during the film they’re doing together, I will continue to not care about her one way or the other.
Boyd is so hot
He is! He reminds me of Garrett Hedlund, only that I’m afraid that what I suspect to be Garrett’s view on politics are a huge turn-off while Boyd seems rather smart and aware.
Three years seems like the right time frame for talking about the future. Olivia could have asked where this is going and Aaron said to men.
This actually made me giggle.
Me too…. hee hee!
Bahahahah thank you for that laugh!!
LOL
They’re both so gorgeous.
and boring.
Would do. Especially in a suit. Holy mackerel.
Co-sign. Espesh the pic of them with her in the white dress. That’s a lot of gorgeous.
I agree that they are both so good looking. I was kinda rooting for them, oh well.
She is actually super-quick witted and funny.
Very smart person. Except where her relationships and careeer mix, it seems.
I wonder how much money Aaron had to pay Olivia to get the hell out.
Japanese potatoes!!!
Real or fake I liked them together
Wait, he’s only 33? Geez, my age radar needs a tune up.
He always looked so much older than his age tho.
Why do people always assume gay or straight when bisexuality exists?
This!^^^^
She looks like what Megan Fox might look like if she’d quit messing with her face just before she went overboard and started to look messed up. Olivia, Megan and that Heidi chick look so different post-surgery I only recognize their new faces.
Yes they do look similar.
He lives half the year in Greenbay Wisconsin and she spends a lot of time in Hollywood California. Somebody was going to have to give up something eventually.
I wanted them to marry so I could call them Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.
If the aim of getting her face done to look fully caucasian then I guess I still see hints of the Asian facial structure.
