Aaron Rodgers' frustration was palpable Tuesday when he exploded into a furious rant over his right to a private life amid rampant rumors shrouding his new marriage.
The NFL veteran, 41, dropped a shock marriage bombshell during his first official Steelers training earlier this month when he confirmed to reporters that he had tied the knot 'a couple of months ago.'
However, the identity of the four-time MVP's new wife has remained a mystery in the weeks since, sparking conspiracy theories on the internet that his marriage could be a hoax. Even his family was said to be question whether the wedding took place.
But Rodgers ripped into the rumors Tuesday when he took aim at the rampant speculation in a furious four-minute-long tirade on the Pat McAfee Show.
'It's a sick society, isn't it? I lived in the public eye for 20 years, I had public relationships,' he began referring to his past high-profile romances with the likes of actress Shailene Woodley and NASCAR star Danica Patrick.
'How did that work out? I had peple leaking my home information, and making up stories, I had people calling the paparazzi, I had people posting my personal life on the internet. I didn't want that, didn't like any of that.

'Now I'm with someone who's private who doesn't want to be in the public eye, didn't sign up to be in the public eye, doesn't want to be a celebrity. And because I do things in private because I want my personal life to be private, I'm now weird and have the paparazzi stalking me.'
Rodgers previously divulged to McAfee in December that he was in a relationship with a woman named 'Brittani', and that she did not have any social media. However, on Tuesday he refused to leak any more details, never even referring to his wife by a name.
'The entitlement to information about my private life is so f***ing ridiculous and embarrassing,' he added.
