Jordan Rodgers, the younger brother of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and one of the men vying for JoJo Fletcher's heart on "The Bachelorette," opened up about their relationship on Monday night's episode.

It turns out that things aren't too good between the Rodgers brothers.

While on a dinner date with Fletcher, Jordan revealed that Aaron won't be in attendance for their upcoming hometown date.

"My middle brother won't be there," Rodgers said, according to Kyle Koster of the Big Lead. "Aaron ... like I said, I have a great relationship with my brother Luke. Me and Aaron don't really have that much of a relationship.

"It's just kind of the way he's chosen to do life. I choose to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother. It's not ideal. I love him and I can't imagine what it's like to be in his shoes and the pressure he has, the demands from people that he has. Don't have hard feelings against him, it's just how things go right now."

Jordan, a former quarterback, went undrafted out of Vanderbilt in 2013. He had brief stints on the practice squads of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins, and the CFL's BC Lions before quitting football last year.
