Actress Shailene Woodley confirmed her engagement to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that aired Monday.
Woodley, who was nominated for an Emmy Award for her role in the HBO drama series “Big Little Lies,” said she and Rodgers got engaged “some time ago.”
Rodgers, 37, had mentioned his commitment and thanked him for his promise while accepting his third career MVP award on Feb. 6, but did not say his name.
Woodley, 29, told Fallon that he had not yet attended any of Rodgers’ games because of the pandemic, and acknowledged that as he grew up, sports were never really his “radar.”
“When we met, I also knew he was a football man, but I didn’t know what kind of football he was,” Woodley explained. “And I’m still constantly learning.”
Noting Rodgers’ football talent, he continued, “I don’t get it. It’s good. It’s fantastic. But, I don’t get it. Because I don’t know him as a football man. is the type I know “.
Rodgers had revealed last month that he had been asked to be a guest host for an episode of his favorite game show, in which he appeared in a 2015 celebrity edition.
