Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers hid their engagement for months

Shailene Woodley enjoyed keeping her engagement to Aaron Rodgers a secret “for months and months.”

The “Big Little Lies” star, 29, admitted in a new interview that she and Green Bay Packers quarterback, 37, kept the news between them for as long as possible.

“When we announced that we were engaged, we wanted to do it only because we didn’t want anyone else to do it before us,” Woodley told The Hollywood Reporter in his cover story on Friday.

“And we didn’t do it for months and months after we got engaged, but the reaction to it was really overwhelming, and we were like, ‘Let’s politely decline [to talk about the relationship] for a little while and live in our little bubble.

The couple sparked dating rumors for the first time in July 2020, but Rodgers didn’t announce their engagement until February. Even then, he did not name Woodley as his fiancée.

Last month, the actress told Shape that she and the NFL player moved in together pretty quickly and “jumped head first and knocked out some of the sticky elements earlier.”

As news of Woodley’s engagement now air, she told The Hollywood Reporter that she had a “pretty debilitating” medical condition and was content to keep a private matter.

“I’m at the end, which is very exciting, but it’s an interesting thing, going through something so physically dominant while having so many people pay attention to the choices you make, the things you say. , what you do, what you look like, she said. “It made my head spin for a while. You feel incredibly isolated and lonely. Unless someone can see you have an arm. broken or a broken leg, it is really hard for people to understand the pain you feel when it comes to silent, silent and invisible pain.
