The trip has a personal connection to the former couple. The Daily Mail reported that Patrick and Rodgers visited New Zealand together in 2019, and shared photos of themselves kayaking, taking a helicopter tour and bungy jumping.<\/p>\n

While Patrick holidayed in New Zealand with her friends, her ex-boyfriend brought her into headlines around the world for a different reason.<\/p>\n

Rodgers made angry comments about Patrick on the Not Just Football podcast, rejecting comments she had made about their break-up.<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail, Rodgers disputed Patrick\u2019s characterisation of the relationship and said claims that he had been a poor partner were \u201chorses***\u201d. <\/p>\n

Rodgers went on to accuse Patrick and another ex of using his name for clout.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one cares what they have to say until they say my name,\u201d he said. \u201cI dated two women who nobody gives a f*** about unless they drop my name \u2013 and they like to say their version of the history of what actually happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback told the podcast that he and Patrick attended counselling before separating, and disputed her account of how the relationship ended.<\/p>\n

The pair began dating in 2018 and split in 2020. The relationship attracted significant public attention as they appeared together regularly at sporting and entertainment events.<\/p>\n

Rodgers\u2019 comments follow Patrick\u2019s remarks in an interview last year with broadcaster Sage Steele, in which she described the break-up as one of the most painful experiences of her life. She alleged the relationship was \u201cemotionally abusive\u201d and said it \u201cwore me down to nothing\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rodgers\u2019 latest comments represent his most direct public response to those claims.<\/p>\n

While the dispute has returned the former couple to the headlines, Patrick\u2019s social media posts have focused on her time in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

She did not address the renewed public disagreement in the holiday posts, which instead highlighted golf, sightseeing and time spent with friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The trip has a personal connection to the former couple.
