MVP quarterback rumored as gay

Speculation that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was once involved in a gay relationship intensified after a report published Monday by RadarOnline. 

Referencing a number of online outlets, RadarOnline reported the 30-year-old Rodgers and his one-time roommate and personal assistant Kevin Lanflisi were involved in a gay relationship until a falling out after Rodgers failed to join a number of other NFL players in publicly coming out as gay last summer.

RadarOnline reported Lanflisi captioned a Sept. 30 selfie, "Silence always comes with an expiration date."

The Fame Driven website, credited with first breaking the story, quoted an an anonymous tip in 'outing' the star quarterback.

"There has been speculation for years here in Wisconsin that Aaron is gay which I always brushed off, but after looking at Kevin's twitter I'm inclined to believe Aaron and Kevin were more than just roommates/friends, I believe they were lovers. What do you think?" the source told the website.

The source pointed to a number of tweets on Lanflisi's Twitter page, which has since been removed, including a photo of Lanflisi wearing Rodgers' Super Bowl ring following the Packers' 2011 win.

"Kevin was also the first person Aaron embraced when the Packers won the Super-bowl in 2011," added the source. 

A disclaimer published as part of the article read, "TheFameDriven.com takes no responsibility or liability for opinions, observations, alleged rumors, pictures, or assumptions stated in the email or comment section by our readers."

Despite the report published on The Fame Drive and picked up by RadarOnline, Queerty.com and Newnownext, Lanflisi has not publicly commented and the story remains speculation. 

Over the years, Rodgers has been romantically linked to model and longtime friend Destiny Newton.

Update: Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed speculation that he was once involved in a gay relationship. "I'm not gay. I really really like women," Rodgers said Tuesday on ESPN 540 in Milwaukee.
