Aaron Rodgers’ retirement plans include time with his ‘pregnant wife’
Aaron Rodgers has opened up about his post-NFL life, revealing his hopes for a "pregnant wife" by this time next year. The football superstar, who will retire after the 2026 season, shared his excitement for the future in an interview slated to air on Tuesday.
"I’m hopefully going to be supporting my pregnant wife because we’re going to start a family and I am not going to be making a lot of appearances or statements," Rodgers told host Adam Schein in a preview clip, referring to Sirius XM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio. The 42-year-old added that he's "looking forward to a life of quiet after 22 years in the pros and three in college and getting [his] body healed up and working on a family."
When Schein asked about starting a family, the Pittsburg Steelers star expressed his definite excitement. Rodgers noted he's "having a lot of fun being Uncle Aaron" to his brother's children, adding, "The more I’m around them, the more I get excited and so does the wife about having some of our own." He continued, "I can’t wait for that next chapter of life and all that that entails, and sleepless nights and crying babies and changing diapers and all those things. I’m looking forward to all of it."
