What happened

The Rodgers family reunion has partially come down to the quarterback’s mystery wife.

Why it matters

In an interview with NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt on Saturday, Aaron Rodgers shared more behind his decision to reunite with his near-decade estranged family and found it “special” to have wife Brittani through it all.

Common ground

“I’m happy to be reunited and that part of my life is a really beautiful addition and I got to give my wife a lot of credit — not that she was pushing me, because she never was, but just the way that she loves and supports me,” Rodgers said.
