Jordan Rodgers' dad, Ed, has confirmed the family's estrangement from NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn't improved much since The Bachelorette aired in this past summer.

"One in the news is enough for us," he added. "Fame can change things."
Aaron's estrangement from his two brothers and parents was an ongoing storyline that played out on Season 12 of The Bachelorette, which ended with Jordan getting engaged to the show's star JoJo Fletcher.
As for whether the situation has gotten better since the initial cut-off of contact well over two years ago, Ed admitted, "It's hard to tell sometimes."
Jordan kind of threw Aaron under the bus when he appeared on The Bachelorette by saying the Green Bay Packers player became estranged from the entire Rodgers family because of his priorities and the way he has "chosen to do life."
And when JoJo met Jordan's family in Chico, CA, Ed hinted at the tension, revealing, "Fame can change you."
In July 2016, Aaron expressed his feelings on the estrangement going public due to Jordan's stint on a reality TV show.
"As far as those kinds of things go, I've always found that it's a little inappropriate to talk publicly about some family matters," Aaron told ABC's WISN 12 News in Milwaukee. "So I'm just -- I'm not going to speak on those things, but I wish him well in the competition."
Aaron added at the time, "I haven't seen the show, to be honest with you, so it hasn't really affected me a whole lot."
Sources previously claimed that Aaron's famous girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn, may be at the center of the drama.
Munn, a 36-year-old famous actress who is best known for her role in the X-Men: Apocalypse, "has a strong personality and every meeting she has had with them has gone badly," an insider told Us Weekly last year.
With Munn allegedly in the middle of the feud, the family reportedly also argues over who started the fight to begin with.

Another potential cause of strain is the fact Munn is good friends with Brittany Farrar, Jordan's ex-girlfriend who blasted him on Instagram multiple times for being a liar, cheater and fame-seeker while The Bachelorette was airing.
