Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers shocked the internet when he revealed he had a fiancée just days after reports broke that he was dating actress Shailene Woodley. Now, sources have
spoken to Peopleand E!, confirming that yes, the fiancée that Rodgers didn't name really is Woodley. They also explained why a proposal came so quickly.
When Woodley and Rodgers first started seeing each other hasn't been specified yet, but they've been together at least all fall, according to E!. Rodgers' breakup with his last girlfriend, Danica Patrick, was reported in July 2020, and Woodley spoke about being single in April 2020.
A source told E!, "They can't wait to get married and they want it to happen soon." That source added that there was a great spark between them, from the very start: "They had a very intense connection from the beginning," the source said. "They both knew early on that it was something special and different from what they had experienced in other relationships. It's a quick engagement, but for those that know them, it didn't come as a surprise."
People's source echoed what E!'s said, stating, "They are very happy together. It's not surprising he proposed so fast. When you know, you know, right?"
E!'s source spoke a little more about their relationship, which has been long distance at times. "They have spent the entire fall together and lived together throughout," that source explained. "She is very supportive of his career and embraced his life in Green Bay. Even though she has her own career and life, she wanted to be there with him. Over the next year, they plan to spend some time traveling and enjoying a warmer climate." E!'s source's "warmer climate" comments come amid rumors posted on unverified celebrity gossip Instagram DeuxMoi that Woodley was looking at places in Hawaii.
