We haven’t heard much from actress Shailene Woodley about her relationship with now-New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers that ended years ago — remember when the QB announced he was engaged to her when he won MVP? And how we saw tons of videos and photos of them together.
That all ended some three years ago. And there’s a reason why we haven’t heard much.
As she told Outside in a feature: “I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron because it always makes me cry. It was not right. But it was beautiful.”
There’s also this from the article:
[W]hen I tell her she strikes me as an incredibly empathic person, her face falls. “To a fault,” she says. She’s recently emerged from her own rebuild. “I had a really awful, traumatic thing happen in early 2022,” she says. She’s not specific, but I know that her engagement to NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers was called off that February.
“I felt like I lost my soul, my self, my happiness, my joy,” she says. “I really understood depression and anxiety and, like, complete soul detachment.” She takes a breath. She chose to remain in a “toxic situation,” she says, because she was empathizing with “someone else.” “Empathy,” she says, “kind of kept me in this loop of feeling everything for everyone.”
Sounds like it’s been hard to talk about and that it was a really tough breakup.
