Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley have split, called off engagement, report says

Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley are no longer a couple, In Touch Weekly reports.

Citing multiple unnamed sources, the magazine reports the Green Bay Packers quarterback and “Big Little Lies” actress have called off their engagement.

"A source close to Rodgers" also confirmed the breakup to People.

"It was an amicable split; it just wasn't working," the source told People. "They're very different people with busy careers and there were obstacles that they couldn't surmount. They will remain friendly; there's no bad blood and no drama. It just didn't work out for them."

Representatives for Rodgers and Woodley declined to comment to People.

The news comes roughly a year after Rodgers first dropped the bomb that he got engaged in 2020 during his acceptance speech for his third NFL MVP award in February 2021. He didn’t say to whom during the virtual “NFL Honors” ceremony last year, but there was much speculation it was Woodley, because E! News broke the news days earlier that the two were in a long-distance relationship they had intentionally kept "private and low-key."

Sixteen days after Rodgers’ speech, Woodley confirmed she was his fiancée during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and said the engagement had happened a while ago.

When Rodgers accepted his fourth MVP award last week at “NFL Honors” in Los Angeles, Woodley wasn't seated next to him at the ceremony, nor did he mention her in his speech.

The In Touch Weekly story also calls the parting of ways amicable.

“While Shailene is supportive of Aaron’s career, he put football first and they were barely spending any time together,” one source is quoted in the story. “She felt he neglected their relationship. Neither of them was happy.”

The same source also said Rodgers "got cold feet" about getting married.

There had been rumblings of potential relationship troubles in the last several weeks. In late January, as Rodgers' comments about his unvaccinated status and beliefs about COVID-19 continued to make headlines, a source told People he and Woodley did not talk about politics, "disagreed on a lot of things" and "decided to agree to disagree about things and not debate them."

Rodgers, 38, and Woodley, 30, enjoyed a blitz of happy couple exposure last spring when photos of them together in Mexico, Hawaii and Arkansas and at the Kentucky Derby and Walt Disney World Resort showed up on social media, all as Packers fans awaited word if Rodgers, unhappy with the team's front office, would return for the 2021 season.

The couple also did an Instagram Live together on the couch after his first night of guest hosting “Jeopardy!”

Woodley, who admitted in the Fallon interview she had never watched a football game until she met Rodgers, never shared photos on her Instagram of being at Lambeau Field for a Packers game.

It was in stark contrast to Rodgers’ previous two-year relationship with retired race car driver Danica Patrick, who often posted photos with family and friends at Lambeau on home game weekends and shared the occasional snapshot with Rodgers at training camp or apple picking at a local orchard.

Patrick's representative confirmed her breakup with Rodgers in July 2020. Prior to that relationship, Rodgers dated actress Olivia Munn for three years.

On Feb. 22, six days after reports of his breakup with Woodley, Rodgers posted a photo of the two of them together as part of an Instagram post expressing gratitude for "some of the incredibly special people in my life," along with photos from "the last beautiful year."

During a lengthy Instagram Live conversation in March with Julien Tornare, CEO of Zenith, the Swiss luxury watchmaker for which Rodgers is a brand ambassador, he talked about looking forward to fatherhood as "the next great challenge" in his life.

“I’m in that age group where a lot of my close friends from high school or college are fathers now and have families of their own. It’s maybe not in the immediate future but definitely something that I really look forward to," Rodgers said. "It’s going to be a really fun challenge."
