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. Also Read: Aaron Rodgers confirms he is married for a 'couple of months'.
