Why did Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley call off their engagement?
NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday revealed that he has been married for a couple of months. 'Been a couple of months,' he told reporters at a press conference after confirming that the ring on his finger was a wedding ring. He was previously engaged to actress Shailene Woodley.
Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley ended their relationship in 2022, a little over a year after announcing they were engaged. A report from People said the two went their separate ways in a peaceful way, the breakup was 'amicable' and 'it just wasn't working.'
'They're very different people with busy careers, and there were obstacles that they couldn't surmount. They will remain friendly; there's no bad blood and no drama. It just didn't work out for them,' a source told the outlet.
Talk of a possible split started after Aaron Rodgers made headlines in late 2021 for not being vaccinated against COVID-19. He faced criticism after saying he had not received the vaccine. At the time, Shailene showed support for him.
'Literally, you all need to calm the f—k down,' she wrote on Instagram. She also defended him against people trying to damage his image, saying they were trying to 'disparage' Aaron's reputation.

Before their breakup, the couple kept their relationship mostly private. They went public with their engagement in early 2021. Aaron Rodgers shared the news while accepting an NFL MVP award, saying, 'I got engaged and I played some of the best football in my career.' He also thanked his 'fiancée' on stage.
Not long after, Shailene talked about their relationship on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She shared how they met during the pandemic when football games were being played in empty stadiums. 'We met during this whacky, whacky time and all the stadiums were closed that he was playing in,' she said. She also joked, saying she never thought she'd be with someone who 'throws balls for a living.'
There were also reports they didn't always agree when it came to politics. A source told People that they kept those talks to a minimum. 'They are not talking about their politics, and they never really have,' the source said. 'They disagreed on a lot of things. Early on, they decided to agree to disagree about things and not debate them.'

"Sean 'Diddy' Combs Coerced Me Into Group Sex, Long Foreplay": Ex-Girlfriend
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former girlfriend, testifying under the pseudonym "Jane," on Thursday said that she would purchase Rhino erection pills and matching outfits for the hip-hop mogul ahead of their "hotel nights," which other witnesses have described as "Freak Offs." Ms Jane told a Manhattan court that she bought the pills commonly found at gas stations ahead of the group sex encounters. She alleged she was coerced into engaging in sexual relations with male escorts. Earlier, she testified that Combs forced her to engage in long sessions of foreplay. On the fifth day of her testimony, describing how exhausting it was, she said, "It was really not so fun having to wind up these guys," reported PEOPLE. Ms Jane said she would take part in sexual activities with male escorts because it made her feel loved by Combs. But now she regrets doing it and realizes it was part of a "cuckold" lifestyle. She also shared that their relationship lasted about three years and ended in September last year until his arrest at a hotel in New York. She said that throughout their relationship, she often told Combs, 55, that she didn't want to get intimate with other men, but he ignored her. According to The Guardian, she wrote to Combs in 2023, "It's dark, sleazy, and makes me feel disgusted with myself." She claimed that soon after Combs started paying her rent, it made it harder for her to say no to his demands. She feared that if she refused, Combs would stop paying the rent, and she would lose the home where she lived with her son. But Combs' prosecutors defended him, saying the women who took part in "freak-offs" agreed to do it willingly and were not forced. Last week, she alleged that after a vacation to Turks and Caicos in March 2023, the two agreed to a two-year "love contract." In this, Combs would pay her $10,000 every month for two years so that she could use that money to pay her house rent, according to a report by HT. Combs is charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He has not pleaded guilty.
