Among the veteran NFL players whose private lives have drawn unending interest is Aaron Rodgers. As the veteran quarterback looks to start his 22nd season in the league this weekend, his personal life is back in the discussion.
This is the first time the quarterback has shared his side of the story after Shailene Woodley said in a 2024 interview with Outside that the broken-off engagement left her with mental illness.
“I felt like I lost my soul, my self, my happiness, my joy,” she had said. “Her story is that I ruined her life and gave her a crazy depression because I left her,” Rodgers said. But the actuality is, she told me that then she took off the ring by March. Rodgers also asked that after he proposed engagement and Shailene Woodley said yes, she allegedly asked Rodgers to hold it off for some time, as she had to engage in sexual intercourse with another person. “I propose, and she says yes,” Rodgers said. She could have said no. “But not a couple days after that, she tells me, you know, ‘Before we get married I got to go f— this guy.'”
Aaron Rodgers discussed his relationship with Shailene Woodley on the Not Just Football With Cam Heyward podcast Thursday. “I really understood depression and anxiety and, like, complete soul detachment. Aaron Rodgers came down strong against Shailene Woodley’s allegations with several scathing alleged revelations. So I proposed in December, she took out the ring by March. And we had a couple of times where we tried to, you know, get reunited, and nothing ever happened. “She maybe felt like she was forced to make a decision.
