Mallory Edens just proved (again) that she can make even the simplest moments look straight-up iconic. No flashy edits, no try-hard captions—just a beach, golden-hour vibes, and her effortless main character energy. But while her latest Instagram post screamed soft life, the conversation it sparked? Yeah, that was anything but chill.
Mallory dropped a casual, sun-soaked pic with the caption, “I love the sun,” and the comment section went feral. The carousel saw her posting pictures in a yellow bikini by the beach as she indulged herself with some reading. And the video she posted was of her working out in another yellow fit. Fans and friends were all over it, hyping her up. But, of course, because the internet loves a little mess, some people couldn’t resist bringing up her past connection with NFL star Aaron Rodgers. That’s because why mind your business when you can stir the pot, right?
Now, if you only know Mallory from courtside Bucks games, let’s clear one thing up—she’s way more than just a rich kid with good seats. She’s the daughter of Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens, but she’s been out here building her own empire. She ran track at Princeton (D1 athlete flex), then got into modeling, signing with Ford Models and Women Management. But she didn’t stop there—she launched Little Ray Media in 2020, a production company dedicated to telling stories by and about women. One of its first major projects, Bad Genius (a remake of the hit 2017 Thai film), wrapped up in 2023. Basically, she’s out here securing bags and breaking barriers.
And the fans? Yeah, they ate this post up. Nani commented, “The sun loves u ,” while jennlagron kept it simple with, “happy healthy girl.” Sophiejulia dropped a wholesome “imy ,” proving Mallory is just as loved IRL. But the wildest take? Instadaveshhh going full chaos mode with, “I choose Mallory over Sydney Sweeney… and not just because she’s worth $1 billion.” Bold.
But let’s come back to the Aaron Rodgers tea. The ex-Jets player has been linked to Mallory since 2019, constantly spotted together at Bucks games. By early 2023, rumors were flying that they were “more than friends but keeping it casual.” But apparently, it was so casual that it never turned into anything serious.
By December 2024, Rodgers officially shut down the speculation. On The Pat McAfee Show, he casually dropped that he’s dating someone new—a woman named Brittani. And get this: he made it clear that she’s not into social media, which is pretty much the opposite of Mallory. If that wasn’t a hard launch, IDK what is.
So, while Rodgers and Edens might’ve had a little something-something back in the day, that ship has definitely sailed. And honestly? Mallory is way too busy thriving. Between building her brand, making money moves, and casually breaking the internet with a beach pic, she’s living her best life. And her fans? Yeah, they’re living for it too.
‘Down bad but still that girl’: Mallory Edens bounces back after health struggles
Mallory Edens might be living her best hot girl life, but even she isn’t immune to getting bodied by the flu. The model, entrepreneur, and former college track star hopped on Instagram to let her followers know why she’d been a little MIA lately. In a repost with her girl gang, she casually dropped, “Catching up because I have been down bad with the flu,” complete with a mask emoji for the full dramatic effect. But if you thought a little flu was gonna keep her down for long—nah, she bounced back real quick.
Barely days after her health update, Mallory was already outside, looking like she never missed a beat. She popped up in New Orleans, rocking a sleek beige dress and serving the main character energy as usual. The pics? Immaculate. She linked up with her besties—Camille Olivia Fishel, Taylor Rooks, and journalist Sam—giving fans a little taste of her post-recovery comeback tour. With a simple caption, “I New Orleans,” she let everyone know she was officially back in action.
But let’s be real—Mallory isn’t just about the aesthetic flex. Just last month, in January 2025, she had people deep in thought after calling out the straight-up clownery of societal double standards for women over 35. Using Demi Moore’s thoughts on ageism in Hollywood as a jumping-off point, she dragged how language is often used to downplay women’s success. “Like all misogyny, it’s language designed to limit a woman’s power,” she wrote On her IG story, basically saying enough is enough.
And she didn’t stop there—Mallory made it loud and clear that women over 40 need to take back their power and stop letting outdated norms box them in. She’s not just here to post cute pics; she’s out here challenging the system and using her platform to get people talking.
Flu or no flu, Mallory Edens stays winning. Whether she’s fighting off a virus, calling out societal BS, or casually dropping bangers on the gram, she’s proving—once again—that she’s that girl, and nothing is slowing her down.
