But on Monday night, Rodgers shared three photos \u2014 one with his mom, one with his dad and one with Luke \u2014 on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>He wrote: \u201c<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbCPvMJFL2x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Another bonding week<\/a> #fam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jordan was notably absent from the photos.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Aaron Rodgers talked about his rift with his family on The Pat McAfee Show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at the saga with my family, for years it was one-sided,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cThey were making shots in the media saying bullshit. I never said anything until it got to the point where I\u2019m like, \u2018All right, enough is enough.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His estrangement from his family became public during Jordan Rodgers\u2019 appearance on The Bachelorette in 2016, and Aaron Rodgers discussed it during the 2024 Netflix docuseries, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma. <\/p>\n<p>He pointed to his parents\u2019 strict religious beliefs as a reason for the falling-out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI grew up in a very white, dogmatic church and that just didn\u2019t really serve me,\u201d Aaron said. \u201cIt was very rigid in structure. I\u2019m not a rigid person. Shame, guilt, judgment. It was like, \u2018We have the truth. Our way or the highway. Our way is heaven; your way is hell.\u2019 Even talking to my parents, it was very black and white. Like, somebody has to be wrong, [and] somebody has to be right. I just slowly uncoupled from that in high school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hatchet, though, has apparently been buried, and the past forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>                                    <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After bonding with teammates earlier this month, Aaron Rodgers has bonded with his family.
