Actress Shailene Woodley confirmed her engagement to Aaron Rodgers during an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Monday.

Woodley, 29, says she has yet to attend one of Rodgers' games because of the pandemic, and acknowledged that while growing up, sports were never really on her "radar."

"When we met, also, I knew he was a football guy, but I didn't know like what kind of a football guy he was," said said. "And I'm still constantly learning."

"2020 was definitely a crazy year filled with lots of change, growth, some amazing memorable moments, 180 straight days of having my nose hairs 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. "

Former Teammate: Aaron Rodgers 'Hellbent On Revenge' Against Packers

Feb 2, 2021 8:59 AM

A former teammate of Aaron Rodgers claims the quarterback is still upset with the Green Bay Packers and wants to make them pay.

T.J. Lang, a former Packers offensive lineman, told WXYT/The Ticket that he believes Rodgers is "hellbent on some revenge" toward ownership.

"I think he was quietly pissed when they took Jordan Love a year ago," Lang said. "The one thing I'll say about Aaron Rodgers, pretty much the last 10 years of his career he's wanted that team to just go all-in for one year. 'Just give me some pieces, let's just go all-in, let's trade a future first if we have to get a couple guys. Let's just go all-in and try to win this thing.'

"And then last year, he hinted at them doing that, 'Hey, I'm excited, let's see who they can bring in,' and they bring in a quarterback. I think that was the ultimate slap to the face when you feel like you're one piece away from winning the whole thing."
