Maybe Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley aren’t so far apart after all. Despite reports that the pair had called off their engagement, the Green Bay Packers quarterback appeared to clear the air while discussing happiness.
Rodgers stated he’s been “thriving at home” on Tuesday’s Pat McAfee Show before calling out Woodley, whom he refers to as “Shai.” The athlete brought up a speech he gave last week after earning his fourth NFL MVP award, as well as a conversation he had with head coach Matt LaFleur.
“When I said in my speech that three years together, two MVPs, there are no coincidences, I was joking with Matt. And I was also telling Shai that the fact that I’ve been with you for two seasons and won two MVPs isn’t a coincidence, and I mean it “Rodgers was willing to share. “When your home life is solid and you have a fantastic partner with whom to do life, work becomes a bonus… how much more fun can I have at work now that the stress of personal life is gone?”
When their sports partners perform well, Rodgers believes women deserve more praise.
“I know for me, having that stability at home has been amazing the last two seasons, and I think about the other wives of my teammates who are simply rockstars,” he continued. “When things are going well in your personal life, it allows you to relax and be appreciative for the simple things in life, I believe. A big thank you to all the women who have been supporting the guys.”
Rodgers found himself in the heart of a media frenzy concerning his immunization status in November. The quarterback did not obtain the COVID-19 vaccine and had to sit out one game after contracting the virus, although officially declaring himself “immunized.” After his season finished, he appears to have given some thought to the scandal.
“One thing I regret and for which I apologise is that I didn’t recognize how much my predicament was affecting my loved ones and individuals throughout the COVID discussions,” Rodgers said. “I didn’t know the kind of shrapnel that was flaking off what I thought were bullets coming at me,” says the victim.
Rodgers apologized to everyone close to him, beginning with his (possibly) fiancée, saying he “never wanted to be divisive in this whole situation.”
“However, I am deeply sorry to those people — Shai, my loved ones, and my agents,” he added, adding that he had just recently realized “the full seriousness” of the situation. “I just want to apologize to those people. I didn’t mean to put you in the middle of it… I’m really sorry about that.”
Rodgers’ public comments came only days after several outlets, including Yahoo Entertainment, reported that he and Woodley had broken up. After then, the actress was spotted without her engagement band on her finger. Whatever the case may be, it’s evident that the star of Big Little Lies is a significant figure in the quarterback’s life.
Rodgers shared a personal snapshot with Woodley on Monday night, albeit it appears to be an old photo. She was one of many “special folks” he recognized in an appreciation message.
He added, “Thanks for allowing me chase you for the first several months after we met, and for eventually letting me catch up to you and be a part of your life.” “I adore you and am grateful for you because you always have my back, for the great compassion you offer me and everyone you encounter, and for showing me what unconditional love looks like.”
Rodgers’ recent public remarks and the breakup reports have elicited no public response from Woodley.
