Over the weekend, Aaron Rodgers announced that he “got engaged” in the past year, and he made a reference to his “fiancee” while accepting an award. It was all very bizarre, especially considering that we had only learned days before that he and Shailene Woodley were quietly dating. No one knows when Aaron and Shailene started up and no one knows when Rodgers proposed. But it’s all being confirmed by People Mag. And by “it’s all,” I mean none of the important timeline details.
Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley are making it official! Two days after the Green Bay Packers quarterback, 37, announced that he was engaged, a source who knows the couple has confirmed to PEOPLE that Woodley is Rodgers’ bride-to-be.
“They are very happy together,” the source says. “It’s not surprising he proposed so fast. When you know, you know, right?”
While making a virtual appearance during the NFL Honors broadcast on Feb. 6, Rodgers gave his fiancée a shoutout as he accepted the NFL MVP award.
“It’s an honor to win this award for the third time. 2020 was definitely a crazy year filled with lots of change and growth, some amazing memorable moments. 180 straight days of having my nose hair scraped, playing for very little fans or no stands the entire season,” he said, before revealing the big news: “I got engaged.” Rodgers went on to thank his loved ones, including his future wife.
There are rumors that Shailene and Aaron have perhaps been dealing with each other for longer than anyone realized. If that’s true, props to them for being so utterly quiet about it. I mean, Aaron and Danica Patrick broke up last July, and it wasn’t until LAST WEEK that we heard anything concrete about this couple (although there had been a rumor circulating on Deuxmoi several weeks before). There’s apparently a rumor that Aaron dumped Danica FOR Shailene. Perhaps, although I really have no idea. I feel like if Danica knew that he had a jumpoff/mistress, she would have made it into a big deal. So maybe she didn’t know, or maybe Aaron and Shailene just got together soon after his split from Danica. In any case, yeah, a very quick engagement.
