It seems Aaron Rodgers and Olivia Munn are as happy as can be.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback, who is known to be very private about his personal life, recently spoke openly about his relationship with the 'Newsroom' actress in a recent interview with ESPN Wisconsin.
The 30 year-old NFL player was asked if the attention their relationship garners irritates him, "No. For one, I'm real happy in my relationship," he replied.
Adding, "And I understand what comes with it. And two, the last couple years, I've learned a lot about perspective and what's important."
Being exposed to a new kind of fame has also taught Rogers that "when you've had success individually and collectively as a team and you are highlighted for the things you've done on the field and off the field, you cannot hide from the spotlight. You have to learn to embrace it."
Although "it's not what I signed up for," Rogers admitted, he does understand that it "comes with the territory," when two people in the spotlight are dating.
"There's always going to be attention or scrutiny, and you can either...embrace it or you can lock yourself away," he continued. "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," the professional football player concluded.
It was first reported that Munn and Rodgers were dating back in May, two weeks after the actress split from 'RoboCop' star Joel Kinnaman.
