Shailene Woodley's shocking reaction to ex-Aaron Rodgers’ split remarks comes to light

Shailene Woodley finally broke her silence on Aaron Rodgers’ remarks about their split.

For those unaware, Woodley and Rodgers, who started their relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced their engagement in early 2021. After a year of engagement, the pair parted ways in February 2022 but ended up mending their bond for some time before parting ways for good in April of the same year.

Rodgers appeared on the Not Just Football With Cam Heyward podcast last week, where he opened up about his breakup with the 34-year-old American actress.

Referring to their engagement, he said, “I propose, and she says yes. She maybe felt like she was forced to make a decision. She could have said no.”

“Not a couple days after that, she tells me, you know, ‘Before we get married I got to go f***** this guy,’” the American football quarterback recalled, claiming that he has a wife whom nobody has ever seen.

“Her story is that I ruined her life and gave her a crazy depression because I left her;” however, “We had a couple of times where we tried to, you know, get reunited, and nothing ever happened.” Rodgers, who stated Woodley stopped wearing an engagement ring after a couple of months, said.

While going to attend a pre-Emmys fundraiser on Sunday night, September 13, a reporter threw a question at Woodley about her ex-fiancé’s claims.

According to a video published by TMZ, the reporter asked, “Any comment about Aaron Rodgers?”

The Big Little Lies star stopped after hearing the question, turned towards the reporter, and laughed.

It is pertinent to mention that Shailene Woodley did not utter a single word in her defense; rather, she laughed at Aaron Rodgers’ comments.
