“It’s just something that I hear and I’m like, ‘When?'” he told JoJo. Jordan Rodgers sacked his brother, who has taken a hit or two on the field the past few seasons, pretty hard the other night.

Rumor has it that Jordan will be the man who will end up engaged to JoJo during the Final Rose Ceremony. Though JoJo Fletcher confronted the suitor earlier in the season regarding his former beau’s accusations, Jordan was able to dodge all the bullets and has gained JoJo’s trust once more.
But in the comfort of their private date, Jordan shared that he is actually estranged from his pro-balling brother, as too much competition and comparison between them drove them apart. He did touch on it a bit.
What do you think Aaron Rodgers will say about his brother if asked during the HBO special? “I chose to stay close to my family and my parents, and my [other] brother”.
Looks like the Rodgers family’s dirty laundry is heading to prime time – whether Aaron likes it or not. His family didn’t like her, he never went to her house, and he only met her mom once in the almost four years they were dating. Hometown visits on the show are coming up next week, and Jordan said Aaron won’t be there, and isn’t even sure if he’s aware he’s on the show. JoJo knows that Jordan is falling for her, but she might not reciprocate his feelings. That was the first time I saw this incredibly vulnerable and honest side to Jordan. I don’t even know what to say about it. “It’s complicated. I’ll say that”. When JoJo asked who she would meet on a hometown date to Chico, Calif., Jordan mentioned Darla (mom), Ed (dad) and Luke (oldest brother and “funniest guy” Jordan knows). The last time that Aaron and Jordan were photographed together in public was back in 2014. Back in 2012, Luke Rodgers did talk about sibling rivalry in an interview.
While Aaron Rodgers remains in a high-profile, releatively drama free relationship with Olivia Munn, his dirty laundry is set to be aired on television. “We were always competing”. My brother is probably one of the most competitive people I know other than myself. “We just all kind of have this competitive streak”. JoJo at the episode’s end sent home James Taylor – who seemed on the brink of tears the entire episode anyway – which means next week she’ll be meeting the families of Jordan, Luke, Chase and Robby.
Out of respect for him, she said, she had to send him home right away.
Jordan, 27, is among the men vying for 25-year-old Joelle “JoJo” Fletcher’s enduring love. More improtantly, however, it’s clear that his insecurities got the better of him: he kept tattling the other contestants out to JoJo in order to get ahead.
