The Jets finally agreed to a trade for Aaron Rodgers on April 24, 2023, three days before the start of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Before the trade, the future Hall of Famer was recently linked to model Mallory Edens.
The MVP quarterback has quite an interesting dating past.
He had moved on from actress and ex-fiancée Shailene Woodley, whom he dated up until February 2022, when the pair called off their engagement.
He is now rumored to be seeing Edens, the 26-year-old Instagram model and daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens.
Here’s what to know about Mallory Edens:
Her dad is a billionaire
Mallory Edens’ father Wes Edens is one of the primary owners of the Milwaukee Bucks — who Rodgers has a small ownership stake in — and has a net worth of approximately $4 billion.
She was a student-athlete at Princeton University
Edens is a New York native and attended Princeton University, graduating in 2018.
During her time in college, she was a member of the women’s track and field team, competing as a mid-distance runner.
She represented the Bucks at the 2014 NBA Draft Lottery
Edens’ fame skyrocketed in 2014 when she appeared on stage to represent the Bucks during the NBA draft lottery.
“He [my dad] sort of brought it up in passing one time and I thought he was joking and then here I am, so I suppose it wasn’t a joke,” said Edens, who was a high school senior at the time.
During the event, Edens sat next to 76ers great Julius Erving.
“I was extremely nervous but it was really fun.”
She is a model
Aside from being an athlete, Edens also took up modeling after college.
She is signed to agencies such as Ford Models, Women Management and One Management, according to her Instagram.
She uses her social media platform to post photos of herself, promoting her modeling career and photo shoots.
Modeling, however, is not her only interest. Edens enjoys writing and using it as a source of activism.
In 2017, her article “The Problem with Pink Sport Jerseys” was published in Time magazine.
She voices her opinion about the sexism that occurs in sports marketing, speaking about pink jerseys that were sold when she was a intern for the Bucks and the first jersey she personally owned, which was a pink Derek Jeter Yankees one.
Rodgers and Edens have known each other for years now, dating back to 2019 when they were pictured together at a Bucks playoff game.
The quarterback was dating race car driver Danica Patrick at the time.
