Aaron Rodgers has a new romance in his life, the 41-year-old New York Jets quarterback revealed Monday.

On the Monday, Dec. 23 episode of the The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers said he has a new girlfriend named Brittani.

While discussing his Christmas shopping habits on the show, Rodgers casually dropped the update, explaining that he has shifted from mall shopping for Christmas gifts to ordering them online. However, he did admit to some holiday stress when a package for his girlfriend, Brittani, was delayed.

“There was one package left for my girlfriend Brittani that hadn’t showed up yet,” he said. “I was waiting on this to show up, it showed up today.”

The revelation appeared to catch host McAfee off guard, and he appeared surprised in the clip as Rodgers makes the first public mention of his new girlfriend. AJ Hawk, McAfee’s cohost and Rodgers’ former teammate from the Green Bay Packers, then jokingly asked, “Spears?”

“Not Brittany Spears, no, this is Brittani with an ‘i,'” Rodgers clarifies in the clip, going on to say that his new partner doesn’t watch The Pat McAfee Show nor does she have social media.

And, when McAfee and others on the show appeared to poke at Rodgers a little for being “in love,” a grinning Rodgers replied with, “It’s a good feeling boys. It is.”

While the football player generally prefers to keep his personal relationships private, he has found himself in a many high-profile romances. Most recently, Rodgers was linked to Mallory Edens, a model and the daughter of one of the Milwaukee Bucks’ primary owners, Wes Edens.

A source told PEOPLE in January 2023 that the pair are “more than friends, but it’s casual.”

Before Mallory, Rodgers was headed toward marriage with Big Little Lies actress Shailene Woodley, though they called off their engagement in February 2022 and fully ended their relationship in April.

He recently opened up about his past high-profile relationships in his 2024 Netflix docuseries, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, admitting that he “didn’t do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated.” Rodgers said that he prefers to remain as out of the public eye as possible.

“I definitely hated it at first — like, really despised it,” Rodgers says about fame. “I enjoyed my private life. I enjoyed being able to go places. But from Super Bowl MVP, MVP, State Farm commercials, that got a little bit more difficult.”
