Aaron Rodgers Holds Fiancée Shailene Woodley Close on Date Night in Rare Public Outing

Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley stayed close while on a dinner date with friends.

The couple were seen cuddling up in a group shot posted by Historic Best Breakfast Cafe, a restaurant in Arkansas that hosted the pair and their friends.

Rodgers, 37, and Woodley, 29, are pictured on the left side of the group, with the Green Bay Packers quarterback holding onto the actress from behind. The two are seen sweetly holding hands over Woodley's shoulder as they smile wide for the shot.

"Our team had the opportunity to cook for @aaronrodgers12 and his crew last night. Grateful for the opportunity," the restaurant wrote on Instagram.

It marks a rare public appearance for the couple after Rodgers revealed they got engaged sometime last year. The NFL star dropped the big news while accepting the league MVP title earlier this year.

A source recently told PEOPLE that there's no mistaking the joy that Woodley brings Rodgers.

"He's acting very happy. They're very content and peaceful. It's nice to see," said the source, who also called Rodgers and Woodley's relationship a "total whirlwind romance."

The source added, "No one has gotten a 'save the date' card yet.' I'm sure they'll make plans, but they're really being quiet about it for right now. That's why this is such a surprise to everyone."
