Pat McAfee has conducted many TV conversations with Aaron Rodgers, but he has no inside information about the quarterback's married life.
Rodgers confirmed last June that he got married earlier that year, but the four-time MVP hasn't publicly discussed his partner. McAfee won't be the one to shed more light on the 42-year-old's private life.
The ESPN host, who welcomes Rodgers as a regular guest on his show throughout the NFL season, told the Daily Mail's Daniel Matthews that he hasn't met Rodgers' wife.
"I have not," McAfee said. 'But I am, once again, happy for him … and if I get a chance to meet her, that'll obviously be cool."

The public doesn't know much about Rodgers's spouse, beyond the fact that his sister-in-law helped sway him to join the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025. They may first learn about his plans for the upcoming season.
The Steelers are once again in limbo waiting for the future Hall of Famer to decide if he'll return or retire. Rodgers led the Steelers to their third straight 10-7 season and first-round playoff exit with 3,322 passing yards and 24 touchdowns.
McAfee also had no intel to share about whether Rodgers will play his 22nd NFL season. The former Indianapolis Colts punter wished his friend well regardless of his choice.
"I would just like Aaron Rodgers to be happy," McAfee said. "He's committed so much of his life to this game. Obviously, there's a lot of public scrutiny for everything that he's ever done. Some he's obviously caused. Other things, I think he gets taken out of context a lot. He's pretty misunderstood."
McAfee doesn't know which way Rodgers is leaning, but he's confident Rodgers can still help an NFL team compete in 2026.
"I think he could still spin it," McAfee said. "[But] whatever the hell he wants to do, I hope he's happy. And if we get to see him throw some footballs again, I hope it's on a winning team."
