Shailene Woodley Is Reportedly ‘More Hesitant’ About Dating Aaron Rodgers Again
Exes Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers attended a wedding together over the weekend, wherethey apparently had some affectionate moments, a witness told Entertainment Tonight. But they aren't back together, sources made
clear to E! and People. Rodgers wants to try their relationship again, but Woodley is more skeptical.
The two announced their engagement a year ago after just months of privately dating. Reports of their breakup came out last month, with one source close to the couple telling People, “They fell hard and fast, but it was a mismatch from the start. Aaron's a complicated guy. No one in their circle is surprised this didn't work out.”
Now, Rodgers is hopeful they'll reconcile, and Woodley is open to exploring it but not sold.
A source close to Rodgers told E!, “They are spending time together but not fully back on.” Woodley attended the wedding to “support” Rodgers and only as a friend. “She's not wearing the engagement ring,” the source said. “They are testing the waters.”
Rodgers has been putting more energy into repairing things now that the NFL quarterback is off-season. “Since he's been off they have been able to take some time to work on their relationship and try to figure things out,” the source said. “They are going to continue trying to do that and see what happens.”
A source told People that Rodgers is very much trying to win Woodley back. Publicly, Rodgers has apologized to her and shared a gushing Instagram tribute about how much he loves her.
“They both had intense work schedules in the fall and it wasn't possible for them to focus on their relationship,” the source said. “Now when Aaron's season is over, he wants to give it another try. He thinks Shailene is very special. She is more hesitant though.”
A source told Us Weeklyin February that Woodley's friends weren't convinced Rodgers is the right man for her. During the NFL season, Rodgers was always “focused” on football, the source said, rather than them.
“Shailene has been super busy with work,” the source said. “Everything was so different during lockdown, and they had been living in their bubble. Friends of Shailene didn’t believe Aaron is the best match for her.”
