'Bachelorette' Star Jordan Rodgers Loves His Dad

by Alaina Urquhart-White

Every Bachelor Nation fan knows that there is always a frontrunner on any given season of The Bachelor/Bachelorette. You know the one, it's always very apparent who will make it to the final few rose ceremonies. Jordan Rodgers is the frontrunner on JoJo's Bachelorette season. It was pretty clear from the very first moment those two laid eyes on each other, they were smitten. So far, they don't seem to be losing any of their heart eyes anytime soon. A lot has been said about Jordan since that first introduction but, aside from Aaron Rodgers being his brother, we don't know a lot about his family. So, who is Jordan's dad?

Well, it would appear that he is apparently one of Jordan's best friends. It's pretty obvious if you take a peak at Jordan's Instagram account, that his father is a really important part of his life. I can't say I blame him one bit, because Eddie Rodgers seems like he is a pretty rad dad. A lot has been said about the Rodgers siblings and their relationship with famous brother and Green Bay Packers quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, but Jordan and his other brother Luke seem to have a pretty strong family bond, and they share it with their father also. Bustle reached out to Jordan's dad for additional information, but has not yet received a reply.

Jordan's dad is a chiropractor, according to his Instagram bio. He owns his own practice called, Rodgers Chiropractic in Chico, California. According to his website, he has been specializing in sports injury medicine and chiropractics for about fifteen years. So, he kind of knows what he is doing, I'd say. According to the site, he actually specializes in a number of other areas of medicine, including prenatal care and nutritional counseling. Dr. Rodgers has a pretty impressive academic background to come with that huge list of specialties too. His site reports that he graduated from Chico State University with a Bachelors in Physical Education/Exercise Science and a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology, and he eventually went on to graduate from Western States Chiropractic College and is a card-carrying member of the American College of Sports Medicine.

According to Jordan's Instagram posts, he and his dad are both avid treasure hunters. They make a huge production out of exploring different areas for buried antique treasures. It looks like they are actually pretty successful at it, too!

It's nice to see a contestant who is so openly close to his family. Jordan seems to have a best friend in his father and that's super adorable. I can only imagine he would carry that kind of loyalty and affection over into his other relationships. JoJo is probably going to be accepting a proposal from him soon, if I had to place my bet now. For now, we can all just melt into a puddle at the precious relationship he has with his pops.
