“It Just Felt Violating”: Ex-Girlfriend Shailene Woodley Didn’t Like One Aspect About Her Relationship With NFL Star Aaron Rodgers
Follow Us
Green Bay Packers legend Aaron Rodgers is undeniably one of the greatest quarterbacks in the NFL. Rodgers has dedicated almost 18 seasons of his career at Green Bay, as fans put him on the same pedestal as Brett Favre for the Packers. The 39-year-old QB might bid adieu to his home with the Packers and might most likely join the New York Jets for the new season in the NFL. In order to come to this decision, A-Rod had gone on a four-day darkness retreat in Oregon. It led to him introspecting his own life and his relationship with family and friends. While being a talent in the field, Rodgers has had quite the roller coaster ride of emotions when it comes to his love life. After dating NASCAR driver Danica Patrick for two years and then splitting in 2020, the Packers legend then dated Hollywood actress Shailene Woodley.
The couple also announced their engagement in 2021 after a speedy romance. But things fell off, and they eventually called off their engagement in 2022. Recently, the actress opened up about one particular thing that she did not enjoy while being in a relationship with the four-time MVP.

During an interview with Tyler McCall for Net-A-Porter, Shailene opened up about her relationship with ex-fiance Aaron Rodgers. The actress said that her dating the Packers legend had the whole world watching them. She added that this was her first public relationship with another celebrity, and having fans always wanting updates about her and A-Rod was uncomfortable to handle.
Shailene said, “It was the first time that I had a quote-unquote ‘famous’ relationship, and I watched the scrutiny, opinions and desire for people to know my life and his life and our life- it just felt violating in a way that, before, it was fun. I’m a very private person, and so I found that any time I posted anything, I instantly felt like I was sharing too much of who I am with people I didn’t necessarily trust.”
