It's safe to say that there was a lot of chatter about Jordan – and concerns about America's sweetheart JoJo when she fell in love with him – but the biggest story at the time was the revelation that Aaron was estranged from… Fathers Mr. Dr and Darla And brothers Jordan and Luke. The history of Jordan's birthplace has highlighted the drama.
“He comes from an amazing family with so much love and character, but sitting at that table, there are two empty seats, and I know they're probably wishing Aaron was sitting at one of them,” JoJo told ABC cameras. “It's hard because this is Jordan's brother. This is Luke's brother. This is Ed and Darla's son. I have no idea and I can't even imagine why Aaron wouldn't want to be a part of their lives.”
JoJo then sat down with Luke, Rodgers' eldest son, and told him that she thinks Jordan “really misses” Aaron but she doesn't like to talk about it.
“It's something we don't like to talk about very often,” Luke replied. “It hurts both of us not having this relationship. We miss our brother.

They go to a bull show and leave two chairs empty.” Aaron He told the Netflix cameras. “They all agreed it was a good thing, leaving two empty chairs at a stupid dating party, showing that my brother just got famous — his words, not mine. He ended up winning, but the dinner that was during the season, I was never asked to go to.” Not that I was going.
Jordan has not yet responded to Aaron's dissent, and based on past actions, is unlikely to do so. Despite the digging, Aaron claimed the door to reconciliation was not closed.
“People ask me: Is there hope for reconciliation?” I say: Yes, of course. “Of course,” Aaron said. “I don't want them to fail, to struggle, or to have any conflict or problems. I don't wish them any ill will at all. It's more like this – we're just different steps on a timeline for our own journeys.”
