Everyone knows that politics has the capacity to tear relationships apart, and in Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers’ case, it’s something that they don’t tackle together. According to an insider who knows the couple, anything politics is barred from their relationship, especially on issues that they tend to butt heads on.
The source told People that instead of fighting about certain subjects, the actor and the NFL star just outright shut the whole thing down. “They are not talking about their politics, and they never really have,” the insider revealed. “They disagreed on a lot of things. Early on, they decided to agree to disagree about things and not debate them.” The source also added that Woodley is strong-headed and rarely budges on her stance. “She is not someone whose mind you can change, so Aaron hasn’t even tried.”
What Woodley does, however, is to defend the Green Bay Packers player when “disparaging” comments are hurled against him. In November 2021, when tabloids reported that Rodgers — who came under fire after lying about his COVID-19 vaccination status — went out for a coffee run even after testing positive for COVID-19, she came to his defense and claimed that he wasn’t the person photographed. “Literally ya’ll need to calm the f*** down. This is straight up HILARIOUS,” she said on her Instagram Story at the time (via USA Today). “News outlets STILL grasping at straws to disparage Aaron. Finding random f****** men on the streets of LA and saying its him.”
