Aaron Rodgers Blasts Ex-Shailene Woodley Over Split, Reveals New Details
Confirmed
In Short: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has made bombshell claims about his split from actress Shailene Woodley, suggesting she was forced to accept his marriage proposal.
In a recent interview on his teammate Cam Heyward's podcast, Not Just Football, Rodgers elaborated, "There’s just a lot of narrative out there that isn’t true." He insisted that the narrative that he "ruined" Woodley's life during their 2022 split is false. Rodgers also revealed that he had been dating Brittani before Woodley, and they married in 2024, though they had met several years earlier. He expressed regret that they did not settle down sooner.
In a separate development, Rodgers has claimed that Woodley asked to sleep with another man before they got married. This claim adds another layer of complexity to the already contentious breakup. Rodgers' teammate Cam Heyward's podcast, Not Just Football, provided some of these details, while Fox News Digital reported on Rodgers' revelations and his new relationship with Brittani.
Woodley, who was seen at the Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston, has not responded to Rodgers' claims or Fox News Digital's request for comment. The narrative surrounding the split between Rodgers and Woodley continues to evolve, with each party presenting their version of events.
