Aaron Rodgers, ahead of his 22nd and final NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has shared photos on Instagram showcasing a recent family reunion. The four-time MVP posted a carousel featuring his mother, Darla Rodgers, father, Ed Rodgers, and brother, Luke Rodgers, along with a niece. This marks Rodgers' first public family feature on Instagram since joining the platform in 2017.

The reconciliation comes after years of estrangement, which became public in 2016 when his brother Jordan appeared on "The Bachelorette." Jordan, who was not in the recent photos, brought his then-girlfriend to meet the family, with two empty seats at the table signifying Aaron and his then-girlfriend's absence.

Rodgers, who previously described the estrangement as "heartbreaking," addressed the situation in his 2024 Netflix documentary "Aaron Rodgers: Enigma," expressing a desire for reconciliation. His Instagram post was met with positive comments from former teammates like Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, and a simple heart emoji from his brother Luke.
