Aaron Rodgers’ girlfriend and future wife Shailene Woodley admitted she is not the biggest football fan.
Rodgers’ ex-girlfriend Danica Patrick frequently posted photos of herself decked out in Packers gear while they were dating, but the legendary quarterback and his fiancee have a different relationship.
During a February 2021 interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Shailene Woodley revealed that she had never watched a football game before dating Rodgers.
At the time, Shailene Woodley had still not seen Rodgers play in person, which admittedly could have changed this season with NFL stadiums back to full capacity.
“I still have never been to a football game, because we met during this wacky, wacky time and all of the stadiums were closed that he was playing in,” Woodley said. “So, I have yet to go to a football game.
“Before I met him, I’d never seen one football game before. I just didn’t- I didn’t really grow up with sports, especially American sports. It was never really on my radar. …When we met, also, like I knew he was a football guy, but I didn’t know like what kind of a football guy he was.
“…Because I don’t know him as a football guy. I know him as like the nerd who wants to host ‘Jeopardy!’ You know, that’s the dude I know.”
Shailene Woodley and Rodgers prefer to keep their relationship private as the Packers quarterback created headlines when he revealed he was engaged during his February 2021 MVP award acceptance speech.
Prior to the news, Rodgers had not publicly confirmed he was even dating anyone after his breakup with Patrick.
A source told People’s Lanae Brody that the couple enjoys having a “non traditional relationship” which means Woodley is not cheering on the Packers on Instagram or posting birthday shout outs to the quarterback.
