Shailene Woodley confirmed that she's engaged to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The actor discussed her relationship with Rodgers on ``The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'' on Monday, saying they got engaged ``a while ago.'' The 37-year-old Rodgers mentioned his engagement and thanked his fiancee while accepting his third career MVP award on Feb. 6 but didn't say her name.
``Yes, we are engaged,'' Woodley said. ``We are engaged. But for us, it's not new news, you know, so it's kind of funny. Everybody right now is freaking out over it and we're like, `Yeah, we've been engaged for a while.'''
The 29-year-old Woodley said she still hasn't attended one of Rodgers' games, noting the attendance restrictions caused by the pandemic this past season. Woodley added that she'd never even seen a football game before meeting Rodgers.
``He's first off just a wonderful, incredible human being, but I never thought I'd be engaged to somebody who threw balls for a living,'' Woodley said. ``Like I never thought as a little girl, I was like, `Yeah, when I grow up, I'm going to marry someone who throws balls, yeah!' But he's really just so good at it.''
Woodley said she realized Rodgers was a football player when they met but didn't know much about his career. She said friends now try to get her to watch Rodgers' highlights on YouTube.
``I don't know him as a football guy,'' Woodley said. ``I know him as like the nerd who wants to host `Jeopardy!'. That's the dude I know. He just happens to also be very good at sports.''
Rodgers was announced last month as a celebrity guest host for the long-running game show. Longtime ``Jeopardy!'' host Alex Trebek died of cancer on Nov. 8. Rodgers' guest hosting stint begins April 5.
Woodley was talking to Fallon on Monday to promote her movie ``The Mauritanian.'' Her previous credits include the HBO series ``Big Little Lies,'' ``The Fault In Our Stars'' and ``Divergent.''
