A Quick Timeline of Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers's Whirlwind Romance

February was a big month for the Green Bay Packers quarterback. Not only was he awarded the MVP award during the NFL Honors ceremony, but he also candidly announced that he was engaged! “2020 was definitely a crazy year filled with lots of change, growth, some amazing, memorable moments, 180 straight days of having my nose hair scraped, playing for very little fans or no fans the entire season, I got engaged, and I played some of the best football of my career,” he said during his acceptance speech. In closing, Rodgers publicly thanked his close-knit support system, which included his fiancée, though he didn’t call her out by name.

The NFL star isn’t afraid to get mushy about his soon-to-be wife. Back in March, Aaron sat down via Instagram Live with luxury watch brand Zenith and opened up about life during the pandemic, his recent engagement, and where he sees himself in the future. “I’m recently engaged, so been enjoying that part of my life,” he said before adding, “that’s the best thing that’s happened to me in the last year.”

Aaron also revealed that he hopes fatherhood is in the somewhat near future, sharing that it’s “definitely something I look forward to. It’s gonna be a really fun challenge.”

Shailene knows it all moved a bit fast – partly because they were able to spend tons of quality time together midpandemic – but she believes she “would have met Aaron in any context, any space in time, because I feel we were meant to be together.” The Big Little Lies actress told Shape that they “jumped in headfirst,” moving in together after a short time of dating. Looking back, she explained it allowed them to get “some of the sticky bits out of the way early.”
