It has been two years since Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley called off their engagement and ended their relationship. However, the actress has tried to keep mum on the details of the split and its subsequent impact on her.
In an interview with Outside Magazine, Shailene Woodley opened up about her split from ex-fiance Aaron Rodgers like never before. She admitted that it continues to be a sensitive subject that gets tears to well up in her eyes.
I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron because it always makes me cry. It was not right. But it was beautiful.
Shailene Woodley said
This was the only time in the whole interview that the Insurgent star addressed the Jets quarterback by his name. Later in the interview, she referenced him but did not use his name.
Woodley revealed that she “had a really awful traumatic thing happen in early 2022” which was a reference to her breakup with Rodgers.
Shailene Woodley was completely lost after her relationship with Aaron Rodgers ended
The event had a significant impact on her, and she was depressed for nearly six months after. It was a dark time for her, as she did not recognize herself.
I felt like I lost my soul, my self, my happiness, my joy. I really understood depression and anxiety and, like, complete soul detachment.
Shailene Woodley said
Overall, she found herself in a “toxic situation,” one that she could not have come out of without her best friend and stylist Kris Zero, who supported her and helped her navigate through the “lowest low” of her life.
Aaron Rodgers expressed his gratitude to Shailene Woodley in an Instagram post dedicated as a tribute to those closest to him back in 2022. He wrote a heartfelt caption for the actress and said that he cherished the time they spent together.
Thanks for letting me chase after you the first couple months after we met, and finally letting me catch up to you and be a part of your life. Thanks for always having my back, for the incredible kindness you show me and everyone you meet, and for showing me what unconditional love looks like, I love you and am grateful for you.

This was right after they had called off their engagement. That post has since been deleted from Rodgers’ Instagram handle.
Two months after this post, the couple ended their relationship. Shailene Woodley revealed to Net-A-Porter in an interview in 2023 that she found solace in her work after the painful event.
The actress now finds herself in a better place mentally and career-wise. Shailene Woodley is set to make her Broadway debut in the upcoming play Cult of Love based on a Christian family’s dysfunctional holiday gathering.
