Aaron Rodgers Says Shailene Woodley Was at Her Peak Fame With Him, Days After Her First Emmy Win

Shailene Woodley won her first Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Hulu’s Paradise, and it should have been a week of pure celebration. Then her ex-fiancé, Aaron Rodgers, went on a podcast and told the world she was at the height of her fame while they were together. He also said people get clicks when they mention his name. The comments came days after her win, which is the part that has folks talking.

Here’s the part that’s easy to forget. Woodley was a star long before Rodgers. She led The Secret Life of the American Teenager, headlined the Divergent films, and turned heads in Big Little Lies. Her first Emmy nomination and win stand on their own. Rodgers also alleged she asked to sleep with someone else after accepting his proposal, while Woodley has described their split as the darkest, hardest time of her life. They got engaged in December 2020 and were done by early 2022.

So what do we make of all this? Celebrity or not, most of us know what it feels like when someone else tries to write themselves into your story, or worse, when they stir up old pain right as you’re celebrating something good.
