JoJo Fletcher Admits She Knew Who Jordan Rodgers Was Before 'The Bachelorette'

JoJo Fletcher has admitted that she knew who Jordan Rodgers was before starting The Bachelorette after hearing a rumor that he would be a contestant.

The 27-year-old former pro football player is the younger brother of Aaron Rodgers and he got both the first kiss and the first impression rose on the season premiere!

“A week before this whole thing started I think his name got leaked, and it was kind of all over the Internet, so, you know, it’s like ‘Jordan Rodgers, brother of Aaron’ – so that’s what I knew going into it,” JoJo told Entertainment Tonight.

“Before I met him … I knew just that tidbit about him, but nothing else, and I don’t think it made a difference either way,” she added. “I don’t follow football closely, so it’s not like it made a huge difference, but I definitely knew that about him going into it.”

JoJo denied that she knew Jordan before they met on the show.

“There’s zero truth to that,” JoJo said. “The only thing that I knew about him was that he was potentially going to be part of the cast. So, I don’t know where people are coming up with these things. I’ve never spoken to him, never met him. That first night was the first night I’ve ever seen him in my life. [We had] no conversation, even on the Internet.”
