Olivia Munn would like to be excluded from the Aaron Rodgers narrative.
The “Your Fiends & Neighbors” actress made rare comments about their relationship, which ended in 2017 after three years of dating.
“During the time that I was with him, he had three Hail Marys, I think two NFC championships — not wins — but he made it into the NFC championship, which is very hard,” Munn said on the June 30 episode of “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard,” noting she was often blamed for his foibles on the field. “No one would want to talk about that. I didn’t get credit for any of the wins.”

But that’s not all the 44-year-old, now married to John Mulaney, was blamed for during her time with Rodgers: She was also put in the middle of the NFL player’s family rift, which included distance between him and his Bachelorette alum brother, Jordan Rodgers.
“There’s this whole big narrative that stayed with me for so many years, but there was just this dynamic in the family that had nothing to do with me,” she shared. “It became this whole big thing, and people were like, ‘I can’t believe her, she’s keeping this family apart.’”
As for what did cause the Rodgers family rift? As Munn — who shares son Malcom, 3, and 9-month-old daughter Mei with Mulaney — sees it, that’s not for her to share with the world.
“People have speculated for many years what was the rift,” she said, “and I know, but I’m not saying because it’s not my story to tell.”
While Rodgers prefers to keep his personal life private, he did confirm in a book about his life that Munn had “nothing to do with all the years” of “deep rooted” estrangement from his family.
His decision to finally set the record straight was a relief for Munn, even if some people still don’t want to believe it.
“Thank God somebody had read it and said, ‘Oh, wait! Aaron speaks,’” she said on the podcast. “You’ve been asking for the longest time. This is the constant conversation. The man himself is saying it. They don’t want that answer.”
“I was really grateful that he did that,” Munn continued. “Even if people didn’t want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that it was said.”
