Olivia Munn finds it frustrating that she was blamed for Aaron Rodgers' difficulties.

The Your Friends and Neighbours star dated the NFL player for three years until 2017 and she noted how she was often accused of negatively affecting his game.

Speaking to Dax Shepard on his Armchair Expert podcast, she said: "During the time that I was with him, he had three hail marys, I think two NFC championships--not wins--but he made it into the NFC championship, which is very hard.

"No one would want to talk about that. I didn't get credit for any of the wins."

And Olivia - who has Malcom, three, and nine-month-old Mei with husband John Mulaney - was also accused of being at the heart with Aaron's family rift, including tensions between him and his brother, former Bachelorette hunk Jordan Rodgers.

She said: "There's this whole big narrative that stayed with me for so many years, but there was just this dynamic in the family that had nothing to do with me.

"It became this whole big thing, and people were like, 'I can't believe her, she's keeping this family apart.' "

The 44-year-old star does know the source of the family tension but didn't feel it would be right for her to reveal the truth.

She said: "People have speculated for many years what was the rift, and I know, but I'm not saying because it's not my story to tell."

Aaron is typically very private about his personal life but confirmed in a book about his life that Olivia had "nothing to do with all the years" of "deep rooted" family estrangement.

And even if people don't believe she isn't to blame, the former Newsroom actress is just grateful that Aaron spoke out to defend her.

She said: "Thank God somebody had read it and said, 'Oh, wait! Aaron speaks.'

"You've been asking for the longest time. This is the constant conversation. The man himself is saying it. They don't want that answer.

"I was really grateful that he did that. Even if people didn't want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that it was said."
