Actress Shailene Woodley went on The Jimmy Fallon Show Monday night to tell the world that yes, she’s engaged to Aaron Rodgers and that they got engaged “a while ago.” This comes after Rodgers blurted out during his MVP award speech on February 6 that he got engaged, yet he didn’t name Woodley during the speech.
As someone who has tracked Aaron Rodgers on and off the field for over a decade, it shouldn’t come as a shock that he’s in yet another weird relationship with weirdness all around it. The relationship comes off weird. The engagement is super weird. And the announcement of his engagement during the February 6 speech was incredibly weird for a 37-year-old who is super secretive about his life.
“Yes, we are engaged,” Woodley told Fallon. “We are engaged. But for us, it’s not new news, you know, so it’s kind of funny. Everybody right now is freaking out over it and we’re like, ‘Yeah, we’ve been engaged for a while.’”
She then went on to add that she’s never been to one of Rodgers’ games, using the pandemic as an excuse, even though the Packers played two home playoff games in front of fans and played in several cities that allowed fans throughout the year.
It gets even better — Woodley says she’d never seen a football game before meeting Rodgers.
“He’s first off just a wonderful, incredible human being, but I never thought I’d be engaged to somebody who threw balls for a living,” Woodley said. “Like, I never thought as a little girl, I was like, ‘Yeah, when I grow up, I’m going to marry someone who throws balls, yeah!’ But he’s really just so good at it.”
I’ll go ahead and say it. Something is off here. Way off. Congratulations to the seemingly happy couple — I’ve yet to see a photo of the two of them together — but I won’t be buying an engagement gift until I see some real planning that a wedding is going to happen.
I get it, both of them are quirky in their own ways. Shailene has a weird little Instagram page going on with random things thrown together. Aaron has his fascination with Jeopardy! and doing interviews where he speaks real slow, soft and intellectually with Pat McAfee and then drops random f-bombs here and there that aren’t forced at all. Just kidding, the random profanity seems incredibly forced.
What’s Olivia Munn, one of Rodgers’ exes, think of the news? “Olivia’s thoughts on Aaron Rodgers as an ex and anything more has no existence in Olivia’s mind,” a source told Hollywood Life. “[Olivia] doesn’t care one bit.”
With all that said…
…odds that this one makes it to the chapel: +800
I don’t see a problem.
Sincerely,

“…but I never thought I’d be engaged to somebody who threw balls for a living,” Woodley said. “Like I never thought as a little girl, I was like, ‘Yeah, when I grow up, I’m going to marry someone who throws balls, yeah!’ But he’s really just so good at it.”
Whoa…even AFTER she supposedly knows Aaron Rodgers (though she’s never been to one of his games). she still says “he throws balls for a living”???
That’s not what a human being says about any QB, much less one of the best of his generation. They say “he plays football”, or “he’s a quarterback for Green Bay”…they don’t say “he throws balls”.
Reading her poem…wow…thinking Aaron must have met her at a triple water alchemy symposium. That’s the only thing that makes sense. She would never have talked to him on the street, or in a bar.
“I’ll take ‘Alien Life’ for a thousand, Alex”.
Throws balls might mean something else.
She’s pretty, but Aaron should probably keep looking. A little odd, but hey, if it works, whatever.
Speaking of plastic, Shailene…I assume you’ll be leading a delegation to Asia and China to discuss the problems THEY’RE CAUSING the world’s oceans. Since you do know that 8 of the top 10 rivers in the world polluting our oceans with plastics are in Asia and China, I know you’ll hold their feet to the fire.
Like that Monday mug shot, too.
Even Rock Hudson was married.
So was Freddie Mercury and Elton John.
I haven’t seen this much beard since the Battle of the Five Armies.
More like Olivia Munn was like, Huh?
And in another turn of irony…until this site mentioned she was engaged to Rodgers…I’d never heard of her.
See seems like the feminazi type…which makes me think this is closer to a Rock Hudson set up.
I am going to shamelessly re-post a quote that may be relevant to the subjects of this story:
“The only consistent feature of all of your dissatisfying relationships is you. ..”
She seems like your ordinary self obsessed, massively narcissistic millennial. So… perfect for him, right?
How’s Danica’s podcast going btw?
