Shailene Woodley has confirmed that she and Aaron Rodgers are, in fact, engaged.
Rumors of a romance between the two began circulating just earlier this month before the football pro revealed only days later that heโs engaged to be married, though did not say to whom.
Now, Woodley, 29, has announced their engagement on an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
โSo itโs kind of funny. Everybody right now is freaking out over it and weโre like, โYeah, weโve been engaged for a while,โ โ so the Big Little Lies alum told host Jimmy Fallon. Gushing over the NFL star, Shailene said, โHeโs, first off, just a wonderful, incredible human being.โ

Despite that, the 29-year-old joked that she โnever thought [sheโd] be engaged with somebody who threw balls for a living.โ The actress added, โLike, I never thought as a little girl โฆ โYeah, when I grow up, Iโm gonna marry someone who throws balls! Yeah!โ But heโs really just so good at it.โ
Shailene also offered more insights into their relationship, confirming that they met during the coronavirus pandemic. โWhen I first met him, I think my dog like pulled me aside and was like, โIf you donโt date this dude, I will disown you as my mother, because the three feet that I run with you when you throw a ball is nothing compared to the marathon Iโm able to run with him,โ โ she playfully explained.

Admitting that sheโs โnever even been to a football game,โ the Divergent star recalled, โWe met during this whacky, whacky time and all the stadiums were closed that he was playing in, so I have yet to go to a football game. I didnโt really grow up with sports, especially American sports. It was never really on my radar. When we met, also, I knew he was a football guy, but I didnโt know like what kind of a football guy he was. And Iโm still constantly learning.โ
Rodgers has previously been linked to actress Olivia Munn and NASCAR pro Danica Patrick while Woodley previously dated rugby player Ben Volavola.
