Aaron Rodgers received well wishes on his recent marriage after a big win on Monday Night Football.
Since Rodgers, 42, revealed in June that he quietly got married months prior, no one has actually seen the Steelers quarterback's bride — including former and current teammates.
But after Pittsburgh defeated the Miami Dolphins — eliminating them from playoff contention — on Monday Dec. 15, Rodgers' former teammate Zach Wilson congratulated the NFL star on his marriage earlier this year.
The quarterbacks exchanged a hug on the field after the 28-15 Steelers win, where 26-year-old Wilson, who played alongside Rodgers for the New York Jets in 2023, told Rodgers, "Congrats on getting married."

The NFL star first sparked rumors he was a married man when he showed up at a Kentucky Derby party wearing a wedding band. Shortly after, a reporter asked Rodgers about the ring during a press conference and the quarterback confirmed he got married "a couple months" ago, but did not share any other details about the big day.
Rodgers had first shared that he had a girlfriend named Brittani last December on the Pat McAfee Show, specifying that she's, "Not Britney Spears, no, this is Brittani with an 'i.' " And in June, Rodgers said she is a "private person" while he slammed people for their "entitlement to information" about his personal life during another appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
Rodgers listed off ways that he feels his privacy has been invaded by the public, including "people calling the paparazzi" and "stalking me on the beach" during his offseason. "I had people leaking my home information," said Rodgers.
"I didn't want any of that, didn't like any of that, and now I'm with somebody who's private," he added of Brittani, who "doesn't want to be in the public eye" and "didn't sign up to be a celebrity."
In August, two wives of Rodgers' former teammates on the Jets told PEOPLE they "didn't know of any partner" when he was playing with their husbands. "It literally came out of nowhere," Jets guard Alijah Vera-Tucker's wife Jessie said of Rodgers' marriage.
