Aaron Rodgers isn't letting his apparent frustration with the Green Bay Packers affect the friendships with his  teammates. 

The reigning NFL MVP is attending the Kentucky Derby with his fiancee, Shailene Woodley, and several current and former Packers:

In addition, actor Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh, are also pictured with the crew. 

Saturday's race marks Rodgers' first public appearance since ESPN's Adam Schefter reported he doesn't want to return to the Packers because of frustration with the organization. 

Rodgers has been a consistent presence at Churchill Downs for the Run for the Roses throughout his career. He posted an image on Instagram two years ago before the race that was captioned "The Crew" with 11 of his friends and teammates. 

There is likely going to be more attention paid to Rodgers' attendance at the race this year because of everything going on with the Packers.
