The danger! Guest host and actress for Fault in Our Stars confirmed the big news this winter.

Green Bay Packers Quarterback and Jeopardy surprise pretty much everyone on the planet! Guest presenter Aaron Rodgers announced last February that he was engaged during the 10th annual CBS « NFL Honors » show.

« Twenty-twenty was definitely a crazy year filled with a lot of change, growth, some amazing memorable moments, 180 straight days of scratching my nose and playing for very little fans, » said Aaron during his speech. “I got engaged and played one of the best football games of my career.”

Finally, reporters and fans connected the fact that his fiancée was none other than Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actress Shailene Woodley. Weeks later, Shailene confirmed the news herself when she promoted her film The Mauretanian on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

« Yeah, we’re engaged. But it’s not new news to us, you know? So it’s kind of like funny that everyone is freaking out about it right now. And we say, ‘Yeah, we’ve been engaged for a while,’ she said to Jimmy, later joking that she never imagined marrying someone who would « throw balls for a living. » « .

Given that the couple had kept their relationship low, many didn’t even realize they were dating at all. After all, it wasn’t until April 2020 that Shailene Bustle confirmed that she had split from rugby star Ben Volavola. Plus, the world didn’t know that Aaron and his two-year-old ex-girlfriend, former racing driver Danica Patrick, had split up by July 2020.

Even so, the 37-year-old quarterback and 29-year-old actress quickly found love and decided to take the next step. By the time their romance officially began, this has yet to be confirmed. But as Elle interestingly pointed out, gossip blogger Terez Owens wrote that the two had been seen « pretty cozy » together as early as mid-July.

Then, in September 2020, Aaron opened up a bit on the Pat McAfee Show. Although he never explicitly mentioned Shailene, it seemed to indicate a big change in his life.

« There are just a lot of things that have come together in my life over the past few months that I have really enjoyed and reminded me of have to give me a perspective in life and in football, to look at things through the most positive lens I can, « he said.

And then, Boom – months later, we find out that she are engaged. In early April, a source reportedly told US Weekly that Aaron and Shailene are currently planning their big day. Aaron reportedly finds out « which family members to invite, » given the reported rift between himself and his relatives. The source also revealed that her wedding is likely to take place in California, « where the majority of her friends and family live ».
