AARON Rodgers has shared a stunning reason behind his decision to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 41-year-old NFL star opened up about his mystery wife as he revealed why he joined the Steelers in June.


Days after signing his one-year contract with the Steelers, Rodgers revealed at the team’s mandatory minicamp that he got married “a couple of months ago.”
The four-time NFL MVP had shared months earlier that he was dating a mystery woman by the name of Brittani.
This week, Rodgers was asked about taking a one-year, $13.6 million deal, which is relatively cheaper than what he could’ve earned.
He had received more than $30 million in each of his two seasons with the New York Jets.
“I was taking orders from my (new) sister-in-law, Mia,” a smiling Rodgerrs answered.
“She’s 20 and she’s the brains of the family; you just have to ask her.
“No – but that is partially serious for sure.
“Every team that I talked to, I said, “Listen, if I play, I’m not going to take a ton of money.
“I’ve made a ton of money. I don’t need the money.”
Rodgers then opened up about his mystery significant other during an interview at Steelers training camp last Saturday.
The 20-year veteran shared how his married life has been.
“When you meet the right one and you’re with the right one, your whole world changes in a second,’ Rodgers told NFL Network.
‘And to have that person that unconditionally loves you behind the scenes, there’s no better feeling in the world and I have the most incredible wife.
“I just really love her, and I’m so thankful to have her by my side at the end.

“When you have that stability and that rock behind you at the house, you feel like you can do anything.”
Shortly after signing with the Steelers, the 41-year-old admitted that he will be playing in his final season in 2025.
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is it. That’s why we just did a one-year deal,” he told Pat McAfee.
“This was really about finishing with a lot of love and fun and peace for the career I’ve had.
