Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are currently in the midst of a four-game winning streak that could end up making the NFL playoffs…and there may be a pretty simple off-field explanation for their better form.
The superstar quarterback has been reported to be in a budding relationship with an old friend: the 26-year-old daughter of Milwaukee Bucks and Aston Villa owner Wes Edens.
Rodgers, 39, and Mallory Edens are old friends, having previously been photographed together at NBA games since 2019, but now it seems there may be more than just a friendship between the pair.

Sportsgossip.com reports that their relationship has now turned romantic, just months after the Packers superstar broke up with his previous love, Blu Of Earth.
It was also reported that Edens watched the last Packers game while wearing a Rodgers jersey, even though the pair had yet to go public with their relationship.
Rodgers is heading for a big win-and-go NFL game this weekend, with the win over the Detroit Lions clinching their postseason berth.
Just down the street in Milwaukee, the Bucks are also having a good season, much to the delight of Mallory’s father, owner Wes Edens.
The Packers have won four straight and will qualify for the playoffs with a win this week.
Edens is regularly seen courtside for the Bucks and was front and center at their NBA title party.
Some say Edens could be part of the reason for Rodgers’ uptick in form.
Rodgers is no stranger to high-profile relationships, having previously been engaged to ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ actress Shailene Woodley before they finally broke up in April 2022.
She was then rumored to be in a relationship with podcaster and social media influencer Blu of Earth, whose real name is Charlotte Brereton, and the pair were first linked in June 2022.
They were spotted with similar tattoos soon after, but their whirlwind romance reportedly came to an end last month, with Blu currently stuck in Peru amid political unrest.
In a post on Instagram, he wrote, “In tough times like this, the real MVPs are the ones who show up for them,” with some claiming it was a dig at Rodgers, who was voted the NFL MVP the past two seasons. .
On the field this season, meanwhile, Green Bay looked all but out of the postseason after a Week 12 loss to the Eagles, but the defense has stiffened over the last four games as the Packers have revived their season.
Rodgers and his Green Bay teammates seemed all but out of playoff contention after Week 12.

And the eclectic Rodgers believes off-field influences are to thank for the team’s upturn in form.
“I believe in the power of demonstration and I believe in momentum and I really believe in strength of mind,” he said after last weekend’s 41-17 win over the Vikings.
“And when you start to believe something strongly, some miraculous things can happen.”
Rodgers, who has already thrown his most interceptions in a season since 2010, has also spoken publicly about his past ayahuasca use, and the apparent positive effects on his game.

Ayahuasca is a South American psychoactive concoction used in shamanic spiritual medicine.
Hallucinogenic South American tea is touted as an alternative treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, and the psychedelic is considered by shamans to be a “wisdom” plant that allows entry into the spirit world.
“I took ayahuasca in 2020 and won two MVPs,” Rodgers told Fox Sports in September. ‘I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I really don’t believe in coincidences.
I believe in science and synchronicities, and I really feel like what it allowed me to do is have a greater love for the game that I play, a greater love for my teammates, and perhaps had the best season of my career in 2020. and then followed this up last year with even greater integration of many of those lessons.’
