Aaron Rodgers has not spoken to his parents for almost a decade after an argument with his after his ex-girlfriend Olivia Munn sparked their fall-out - but it appears that there are other reasons for their fractured relationship.
A new biography claims the legendary NFL quarterback has no issue with cutting people out of his life - as he seemingly has done with his parents and his best friend. Before he began his relationship with Munn, Rodgers had temporarily stopped speaking with his close friend Jordan Russell, it has been revealed
In a new autobiography set to be released titled "Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers ", an individual who knew Rodgers for many years when he had been with the Green Bay Packers stated: "You get on his bad side, you cross him once, you are dead to him."

The New York Post has reported that Rodgers himself stated that Munn does not deserve any blame, despite them being broken up for seven years. He is said to have stated words along the lines of 'his family issues are deep-rooted, though he declined to discuss the specifics of those issues for public consumption'.
The quarterback cut off communication with his parents, Ed and Darla Rodgers, in 2014 when he was living with Munn, doing so after a disagreement about his parents continuing to watch Rodgers play after doing so at Buffalo. Sources have claimed that Munn called Ed and Darla that night, launching into an angry tirade about their plans to see Aaron again when the Packers played at Tampa Bay before Christmas.
Munn was said to have made it clear that she did not want her boyfriend's parents meeting them or attending the game. Ed and Darla responded by saying they'd been going to Aaron's games since he was a child and didn't need her permission to continue.

After a disagreement between Munn and the Rodgers parents, the quarterback reportedly sent an email to family members that stated: "Don’t attack the woman I love". Despite breaking up with Munn in 2017, Rodgers has had little-to-no contact with his parents and much of his family. Aaron did meet up with his father in 2023.
Speaking on Ian O'Connor's biography on him Rodgers said: "He did a lot of research. It has nothing to do with me. But he did a lot of research on his own. He’s done other books with other famous people in sports. I think he reached out to 500 people and talked to maybe half those people.
“At the end before, although he’d already written I believe a first draft, we had a conversation, sat down. It was more just kind of him asking a few things. A lot of the stuff that was in there I mean is 20-plus years old. And I commend him for the time he spent on it, but it’s not a book I asked him to write for me. He wrote it on his own, and there will be some interesting things in there that are perspective-based, for sure be some stuff that’s true. . . .
“I commend him. He was trying to do a really good job, and get the entire picture. But you have to put everything into context.”
