Aaron Rodgers isn't missing the chance to see family these days.

The latest example came on Friday, Nov. 13.

With Jordan Rodgers in the Steel City to call the Pittsburgh-Florida State college football game for ESPN, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback visited with his younger brother at Acrisure Stadium.

The two posed for a photo with their arms around each other.

"Great to see little bro Jordan Rodgers in his element tonight at Acrisure Stadium," Aaron Rodgers wrote on Instagram, along with their photo in the ESPN booth. "Really proud of how hard he's worked to get to where he is now."

Jordan Rodgers, who grew to fame on ABC's "The Bachelorette" a decade ago, is a college football TV analyst for ESPN.

Aaron Rodgers had posted a series of photos on Instagram with his parents and older brother, Luke, this summer highlighting his reunion with family members he had been separated from for many years.

Jordan wasn't featured in those photos, but this post further highlights that his reunion encompasses all of his family members, something that didn't seem likely not too long ago.

The former Green Bay Packers quarterback, however, has credited his wife, Brittani, for playing a key role in his reconnection with his family.

At a time in which he has noted his personal life is in a great place, Rodgers, 42, is bidding farewell to his NFL career.

He has said the 2026 season, and second with the Steelers, will be his last.

Who is Jordan Rodgers?

Jordan Rodgers, a former college football player-turned broadcaster, is the younger brother of Aaron Rodgers. The 38-year-old famously found love on the ABC dating show, "The Bachelorette," in 2016.

Aaron Rodgers' previous estrangement from his family was brought to light during Jordan's appearance on "The Bachelorette." Jordan went on to win the season that featured JoJo Fletcher as the bachelorette. The two later got engaged and are married.

During an episode on the show, Jordan Rodgers told Fletcher that "me and Aaron don't really have that much of a relationship. It's just kind of how he's chosen to live his life."

After years of staying silent about it, during his 2024 Netflix documentary, Aaron Rodgers reacted to how he was portrayed on the show.

"I was quiet about it because I thought the best way to do it was just don't talk about it publicly. And what do they do? They go on a (expletive) show and leave two empty chairs," Aaron said, discussing the home visit of "The Bachelorette" (Aaron was dating actress Olivia Munn at the time) to show that the two weren't there. "They all agreed this was a good thing to do, to leave two empty chairs at a stupid dating show that my brother just went on to get famous — his words, not mine — that he ended up winning.

"But a dinner that was during the (NFL) season, I was never asked to go to, not that I would've gone."

The estrangement between Aaron Rodgers and his family lasted over a decade and has been well publicized. But the quarterback has continued to reconnect with family throughout the year.

Before his reality TV and sports broadcasting career, Jordan also played football like Aaron. He followed in Aaron's footsteps in starring as a quarterback at Butte Community College. He transferred to Vanderbilt University to finish his college career.
