We told you Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and actress Olivia Munn were rumored to be dating, and now we have official confirmation! The football star spoke highly of his leading lady in a new interview, and says he does not mind the public attention because he is so content.
"I'm real happy in my relationship. And I understand what comes with it. And the last couple years, I've learned a lot about perspective and what's important," he told ESPN Wisconsin.
When asked about the media scrutiny, he replied, "It's not what I signed up for, but I understand it comes with the territory. There's always going to be attention or scrutiny, and you can either...embrace it or you can lock yourself away. And I just can't do that. I need to be living my life."
"I'm going to continue living my life and enjoy my public life and enjoy my relationships and not worry too much about that other stuff."
Munn has previously been linked to actor Joel Kinnaman, who she split from earlier this year after two years of dating.
"They ended things a few months ago but both seem fine," an insider revealed to Us Weekly. "A lot had to do with distance. He's back filming in Toronto and she's now in L.A. for good."
"They were actually close friends before they even started dating," they added. "So they've been able to stay really good friends even through the breakup. It's just made things much easier for both of them," they added.
According to reports, the new duo was spotted with friends at Nobu Malibu on May 10. They were behaving like a couple, laughing and kissing. They were previously seen hanging out backstage at the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.
"They were with a group of pals and they behaved like quite the couple," a source told the mag. "They were at a big table, where they laughed with friends and stole kisses throughout the meal."
