During his June 24 interview, Rodgers clarified that his vie for privacy was as much for his wife as it was for him. He described Brittani as a “private person” who “doesn’t have social media” and “didn’t sign up to be a celebrity” and has no interest in being in the public eye.

I lived in the public eye for 20 years. I had public relationships. How did that work out?” he said. Rodgers admitted he “didn’t want” any more of the baggage that came with dating in the limelight, claiming people have leaked his home information and made up stories about his love life.
