PITTSBURGH — There were plenty of storylines coming out of Pittsburgh Steelers camp Tuesday regarding their newest employee, one Aaron Charles Rodgers, but the biggest news might be this: Rodgers is a married man.
Speculation about Rodgers' marital status grew last week when, while signing his new one-year deal with the Steelers, Rodgers sported a black ring on his wedding finger. When asked about it during a news conference Tuesday, Rodgers confirmed the news.

"Yeah, it's a wedding ring," Rodgers said, nonchalantly, adding that he's been married now for "a couple months."
Not much is known about who Rodgers married. He dropped the name of a girlfriend named Brittani during an interview on "The Pat McAfee Show" in December. It's unclear if the woman he recently married is the same girlfriend.
For months, Rodgers kept the NFL world and most pointedly the Steelers guessing about his status for next season as he dealt with self-described personal matters, saying in May on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast that someone close to him is battling cancer.
Rodgers' personal life has been fodder for the tabloids (and sports pages) for years. He's dated actress Olivia Munn, race car driver Danica Patrick and was engaged for a period to actress Shailene Woodley.
