Aaron Rodgers had some special guests for last weekend’s Steelers win over the Colts.
The Steelers quarterback had members of his family, which included his brother Luke and Luke’s two children, at the game to cheer him on as he helped Pittsburgh beat Indianapolis 34-22 in Week 5.
Luke shared the photos on his Instagram account on Sunday that showed images of Rodgers interacting with his niece and nephew, along with other intimate moments.
“Last weekend was pretty special,” Luke captioned the social media post along with black and gold heart emojis.
“Planes, trains and renegade!” Rodgers commented on the post, “Also misspelled cakes.”
In one photo, Rodgers can be seen posing on the field ahead of the Week 5 matchup as his niece and nephew sport Steelers gear and ponchos.
In another photo, Rodgers is squatting down, interacting with his niece, who wore a pink jacket with a Steelers jersey underneath.
There are several videos in the Instagram carousel that show the kids cheering on Rodgers and waving “Terrible Towels” from a suite inside Acrisure Stadium.
Luke and his wife, Aimee, had their third child in August.
It’s just the latest imagery to show the reconciliation between Rodgers and his family after a years-long rift had driven a wedge between them.
The rift became public in 2016 after Rodgers’ brother Jordan was a contestant on “The Bachelorette.”
But bridges have been rebuilt recently, and Rodgers shocked fans when he posted photos in July of him spending time with them during a “bonding week.”
The end of the feud does not seem to have extended to Jordan, but Rodgers credited his wife Brittani with the reconciliation.
“She is the big impetus behind that [reconciliation], he told The Athletic in August. Not that she was pushing it, but just the way that she loves me and supports me, it’s allowed me to open up to that possibility. And it’s been a couple-year process of communication and spending time together, but that is a real blessing in my life to have those relationships back and to close that circle that was cut for so many years.
“With her by my side, we reopened that door, and it’s been really beautiful.”
