Aaron Rodgers and his younger brother Jordan have appeared together publicly after years of estrangement, sharing a smiling photograph at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback posted the image on Instagram after Jordan, an ESPN college football analyst, worked at the stadium. Aaron is pictured with his arm around his brother.
“Great to see little bro @jrodgers11 in his element tonight,” Aaron wrote. “Really proud of how hard he’s worked to get to where he is now 👊🏻”
The photograph marks a public sign of improved relations between the brothers, whose family tensions came to wider attention in 2016. Jordan discussed their lack of closeness while appearing on The Bachelorette.
Aaron said in September that he and Jordan had reconciled, describing difficult conversations between them during an appearance on team-mate Cam Heyward’s podcast.
He has also been rebuilding relationships with his parents, Ed and Darla, and his older brother Luke. Video from a high school Hall of Fame ceremony in California in April showed Aaron spending time with his parents.
Aaron has credited his wife, Brittani, with helping him reconnect with his family.
