But it's not just football he's leaving behind—Rodgers says he's retreating from public life completely, along with his wife, Brittani.
Aaron Rodgers says this NFL season is his last and he's 'out' for good afterward
'I'm pretty sure this is it,' Aaron Rodgers said bluntly about his one-year deal with the Steelers. 'That's why we just did a one-year deal. Steelers didn't need to put any extra years on it.'

While Rodgers promised to give Pittsburgh 'everything I got,' he also made it clear he's done chasing headlines.
'When this is all done, I'm out; you won't see me,' he said. 'I don't want to live a public life.'
Rodgers' clarity about walking away from fame underscores a deeper personal shift—one that includes his fiercely private marriage to Brittani.
Mystery wife Brittani wants zero fame—and Rodgers is just fine with that
Rodgers spent much of the interview defending his wife's desire for privacy and slamming what he called a 'sick society.' 'Now I'm with somebody who's private, who doesn't want to be in the public eye,' he explained.
'Didn't sign up to be a celebrity, doesn't want to be part of it.'
The quarterback expressed frustration over paparazzi stalking his new life in Pittsburgh, including trying to photograph Brittani and even his dog, Apollo. 'It's a sick society, isn't it?' he said.

Despite being in the public eye for two decades, Rodgers says he's ready to cut the cord completely. 'Just because I'm not selling wedding photos to the magazines... that's just not what I want to do,' he said. He also warned fans not to expect family members to leak info either. 'Any other ridiculous story about my family that I don't talk to—they wouldn't know any information about me,' he added.

Tom Brady jumps off luxury yacht as daughter Vivian leads the way on their Ibiza getaway
Tom Brady shares wholesome yacht adventure with daughter Vivian in Ibiza (File Photo/Tom Brady/Instagram) Tom Brady appears to be living his best post-retirement life, and his latest Mediterranean adventure with daughter Vivian is proof of that. Days after attending the high-profile wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice, the NFL legend was spotted soaking up the sun and embracing his playful side in Ibiza with his 12-year-old daughter. Tom Brady spends daddy-daughter yacht time with Vivian in Ibiza The seven-time Super Bowl champion shared heartwarming moments from their yacht getaway on Instagram. In a short video, Vivian can be seen fearlessly leaping off the second deck of their luxurious yacht into the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. Tom, clearly amused and proud, followed suit with a grin, captioning the moment, 'If she does it….then I guess I have to also,' adding a few laughing and heart emojis. This father-daughter bonding moment showcased a side of Brady that fans don't often get to see. He also posted a tranquil sunset photo from the yacht and another adorable image of Vivian lounging in an inflatable tube, giving her dad a cheerful thumbs-up. 'My little mermaid soaking up the sun and the sea ♥️,' he captioned.

Ahead of the nuptials, he was spotted taking a water taxi ride with newly single actor Orlando Bloom. Later, Brady was seen mingling with Hollywood elites, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sydney Sweeney, and Brooks Nader, at the Cipriani pool and during the reception, where he reportedly danced 'with everyone. ' Since his divorce from Bündchen in 2022, Brady has been making headlines not just for his broadcast deal with FOX but also for rumored connections with A-listers like Kim Kardashian and Irina Shayk. Yet, in spite of the glitzy parties and media buzz, the highlight of his summer seems to be the quiet, joy-filled moments with Vivian on the Mediterranean. No longer under the strict regime of NFL training camps, Brady is savoring his freedom. His spontaneous dive into the sea might have left his former coaches Bill Belichick and Bruce Arians on edge had he pulled such a stunt mid-season—but now, the G.O.A.T. is simply enjoying the rewards of a career well-played. As Ibiza's iconic coastline offers the perfect backdrop for some quality daddy-daughter fun, Tom Brady proves once again that retirement doesn't mean slowing down—it just means doing life on your own terms.

Brittany Mahomes gets surprise message from Baker Mayfield's wife after sending unexpected gift package
Baker Mayfield's wife sends warm response to unexpected gift from Brittany Mahomes (Getty Images) The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills might have one of the most intense rivalries on the football field, but when it comes to the women behind the athletes, the narrative shifts dramatically. Far from the drama of touchdowns and tackles, NFL WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends) are proving that camaraderie off the field runs deeper than any rivalry. Leading this unexpected bridge-building is none other than Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes. Brittany Mahomes and Baker Mayfield's wife surprise fans with wholesome NFL WAGs moment While fans at Arrowhead and Highmark Stadium might exchange heated words, Brittany is busy spreading kindness – and protein shakes. This week, a surprise gift from her to Emily Mayfield, wife of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, melted hearts and added a new layer to the NFL WAGs' growing bond. Emily took to Instagram to share the thoughtful OWYN (Only What You Need) PR package from Brittany. The gift included three OWYN Double Shot Protein Coffee Shakes, a Target gift card, a sleek tumbler, and a heartfelt typed note. 'I am so excited to share my latest obsession with you – OWYN Double Shot Protein Coffee Shakes that are now available at Target,' Brittany wrote. 'These shakes are a serious game changer for kick-starting my morning workouts or making it through the day as a busy mom. ' Baker Mayfield's wife publicly acknowledges Brittany Mahomes (Image via Instagram/emilywmayfield) The moment was captured perfectly as Emily shared a video unboxing the gift with Sammy Wilk's 'Mrs. Perfect' playing in the background, tagging both Brittany and OWYN. It wasn't just a gift—it was a gesture that reflected genuine friendship and support, transcending team loyalties. But Brittany's influence goes far beyond gifting. Her collaboration with OWYN is rooted in a deeply personal cause—her son, Bronze, has severe peanut allergies. In December 2023, Brittany and OWYN pledged $100,000 to FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education). 'I'm proud to partner with OWYN,' she said. 'This cause is near to my heart… improving the lives of 33 million Americans with food allergies.' Paige Loren, wife of Bills QB Shane Buechele, has also shown public admiration for Brittany's partnership with OWYN. She recently shared her excitement over receiving a PR box, writing, 'I'm so excited about this PR box because one, it's from my girlfriend and two, I actually introduced her to these protein shakes… Brittany loves these, they genuinely taste so good!' Brittany responded with a warm 'I love you' and a smiling emoji—proof that friendships can flourish even in the heart of a gridiron rivalry. It's a refreshing reminder that while the NFL has always been known for its on-field rivalries and dynasties—like the Cowboys' legendary run in the '90s—off the field, the game is being changed by women who are using their platforms to connect, uplift, and inspire. Whether through fitness, philanthropy, or friendship, Brittany Mahomes and her fellow NFL WAGs are proving that the most powerful plays aren't always made on Sundays.

Brad Pitt praises Chiefs as NFL dynasty on New Heights podcast with Kelce brothers
Brad Pitt calls Chiefs a 'dynasty' in emotional podcast moment with Kelce brothers. (New Heights Podcast- YT) When you think of Brad Pitt, you think, Hollywood icon. But now? Add 'emotional Chiefs fan' to that list. Pitt made a rare podcast appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce's New Heights show and gave a heartfelt breakdown of what it's meant to watch Kansas City become an NFL dynasty over the past decade. Brad Pitt says Chiefs wins make life feel lighter and more meaningful Pitt wasn't just name-dropping Mahomes or doing a casual shoutout. He genuinely sounded like a fan who's been through the ups, the heartbreaks, and the Super Bowl parades. Tight End U Surprises, Speedos at the Shore & Brad Pitt on F1, Chiefs Dynasty and More | Ep 146 'DYNASTY! You feel the sense of pride instead of the sense of life's always against us,' Pitt said. 'It's kind of extraordinary the way we live through our teams through you guys and what it means to us.' Forget movie quotes, this one hit different. 'The way we live through our teams… what it means to us.' That kind of raw fan energy is what made this moment blow up across X (formerly Twitter). Pitt captured what so many fans feel when their team is more than just a logo, it becomes part of their identity. Brad Pitt admits he's never been to Arrowhead but that could change soon In the same episode, Pitt confessed that despite being a longtime fan, he's never actually attended a game at Arrowhead Stadium. Travis Kelce responded instantly, offering to get him there in style. If Pitt shows up on the sidelines this season, that'll be an elite crossover moment between Hollywood and the NFL. It's not every day you hear one of the most recognizable movie stars on the planet say something that sounds like it came straight from a Chiefs fan's heart. Brad Pitt may not be at every tailgate or glued to RedZone every Sunday, but his words resonated. He summed up what every fan feels when their team starts winning, it becomes bigger than football. And now, Chiefs Kingdom has another ring and another celebrity fan in the building.
