The party must go on.
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers celebrated his 40th birthday with a star-studded party after New York dropped its fifth straight game with a loss to the Falcons on Sunday, according to a number of social media posts.
Jets fullback Nick Bawden and his wife, Alexis Bawden, attended the bash, where guests sang “Happy Birthday” to the four-time NFL MVP.
“Happy 40th birthday @aaronrodgers12,” Alexis wrote over a video on her Instagram Story, which showed a crowd of people with their cell phones out, filming the song.
The festivities took place at celebrity hotspot Zero Bond, a private members-only club in New York City, according to social media posts.
Rodgers, who hit the big 4-0 on Saturday, was seen in photos with his close friends, Jets wide receiver Randall Cobb and his wife Aiyda Cobb, as well as actor Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry.
Rodgers, Cobb and his wife were seen in a photo with Frankie Bakhtiari, who’s married to Green Bay Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, at the party.
“Night one,” Frankie wrote over the photo, which she shared on her Instagram Story.
“Missing @davidbakhtiari,” she added.
Rodgers built a strong relationship with Bakhtiari and his wife, on and off the field, during their 10 seasons together in Green Bay.
Teller’s wife also shared a snap with her husband, Rodgers and Frankie FaceTiming Bakhtiari.
Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah and his partner, Yasmin Quintana — whom he’s expecting a baby girl with — were also at the party.
She took to her Instagram Story with a photo of Rodgers’ initials projected onto the floor with an image of him and a horse.
Alexis was also seen in Photo Booth snaps with Briana Reed, the wife of Jets cornerback D.J. Reed, and Kendra Thompson Taylor, who’s married to Jets wideout Malik Taylor.
Rodgers was on the sidelines helping coach up his team in Sunday’s rainy clash with the Falcons at MetLife Stadium.
Rodgers returned to practice Wednesday, when the Jets opened his 21-day practice window exactly 11 weeks after he had surgery repair a torn left Achilles he suffered in the the season opener.
