He just missed out on the Super Bowl after his team the Green Bay Packers lost to the Seattle Seahawks.

But football quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn't look to be agonizing over the defeat as he was named MVP of 2014 at the National Football League Honors in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday night.

The 31-year-old celebrated the honour with his girlfriend Olivia Munn and was spotted sharing a tender moment on the arrivals carpet.

This is Aaron's second NFL Most Valuable Player award after another stellar year with the Green Bay Packers.

The sports star said during the event, according to ESPN: 'I feel so fortunate to live out my dreams, year after year.'

Prior to the ceremony Aaron and Olivia were spotted on the red carpet moving in for a sweet moment of forehead kissing.

While Aaron was dapper in a traditional black suit worn with a matching black tie and a white dress shirt, Olivia was a stunner in violet.

Made of a shimmering and textured fabric, the Mortdecai actress' gown fell to the floor in a straight skirt.

Even though there was a high-cut slit up the side of that skirt, only the slightest peek at Olivia's leg could be seen underneath.

Above a high waist belted in black, the actress' dress was sleeveless and held in place with over-the-shoulder straps.

An illusion in the dress' construction made it appear like the straps and the bodice were not actually attached.

Olivia's long, black hair was worn down in classical curls, which she paired with dramatically dark red lipstick.

One of the NFL's biggest stars, Aaron was an unsurprising attendee at the football event held the night before the Super Bowl.

Aaron himself, however, will not be an active participant in the big game after the Green Bay Packers lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the teams' final playoff game.

While the Packers had held the lead for most of that January 18 match-up, the Seahawks came from behind to gain an overtime victory.

At least Aaron can find comfort in winning an earlier Super Bowl - he was named the Most Valuable Player of the Packers-winning 2011 game.
