In February, Aaron Rodgers announced—seemingly out of nowhere—his engagement to actress Shailene Woodley. During the 10th annual CBS “NFL Honors” show on February 6, the Green Bay Packers quarterback didn’t even mention his “fiancée” by name. He simply said:”2020 was definitely a crazy year, filled with lots of change, growth, some amazing memorable moments, 180 straight days of having my nose hairs scraped, playing for very little fans,” Rodgers said. “I got engaged and I played some of the best football of my career.”
By then, fans already knew that Rodgers and Woodley were romantically linked, but their relationship had only been public for about a week.
“They have kept things private and low key,” a source told E!. “They have seen each other and been in touch. They continue to talk and see each other when they can. They are both focused on their careers, but they also make time for each other.”
Later that month, Woodley confirmed the engagement in an interview with Jimmy Fallon.
“Yes, we are engaged,” Woodley told Jimmy Fallon. “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.'”

OK, so if they had been engaged for “a while” at the point of that Fallon interview, how long have they been together? We’ve all been in quarantine too long! When did this happen?!
Here are the details.
April 2020
Woodley did an interview with Bustle, where she spoke candidly about her love life and her breakup with rugby player Ben Volavola.
“I was in a relationship with someone and we were very much on the road to marriage and children,” she said. “I realized I was still at an age where I wasn’t able to fully commit. I couldn’t be available to him in the way that I wanted to be. I didn’t fully love myself.”
Bustle wrote that, at the time, Woodley was quarantining alone in a cabin in the woods, while “trying to shed her codependent tendencies. Sometimes, she lays on the floor and cries, and she’s OK with that.”
July 2020
A rep confirmed with Us Weekly that Rodgers and racing driver Danica Patrick had broken up. The two, who met in 2012 at the ESPYS and started dating in 2018.
“We’ve just been sort of friends the whole time, kept in vague touch and seen each other at the ESPYs almost every year, and other places,” Patrick said in a 2018 interview with For The Win. “So one thing led to another, and we realized how similar we were, and yeah, that got the ball rolling.”In July, rumors of Woodley and Rodgers’s involvement began circulating. Sports gossip blogger Terez Owens wrote that Woodley and Rodgers had been seen together in Tahoe.
September 2020
While on The Pat McAfee show , Rodgers referenced some changes in his life. He didn’t exactly say that he was in a new relationship, but he said a lot of things that a person who’s happy in a new relationship might say.
“I have just a new and increased love of life and I have made decisions and changes and habits that put me in a lot better head space,” he said. “There’s just a lot of things that have come together in my life over the last few months that have really been enjoyable and reminded me, given me perspective in life and in football to view things through the most positive lens I possibly can.”
February 2020
At the 10th annual CBS “NFL Honors” show in early February, Rodgers dropped the news that he got engaged. Then, Woodley confirmed the news with Fallon.
April 2020
Rodgers, whose ex Olivia Munn has spoken about his past rift with his family, is reportedly still trying to decide which of his family members to invite to his wedding with Woodley.
“Aaron is still thinking about which family members to invite. It’s something that’s weighing heavily on him,” a source told Us Weekly. “It’ll for sure be a special day and it would be wrong of him to not invite his family, but everyone is aware of their strained relationship and knows that [those] problems aren’t going to get fixed in one day. Whether they decide to come [is] up to them.”
The source also revealed that Wooldey and Rodgers plan to get married in California, because “that’s where the majority of their friends and family live.”
