Aaron Rodgers recently made bombshell accusations against his ex-fiancée, Shailene Woodley. During his appearance on the Not Just Football podcast, he shared that even though Shailene said yes to his proposal, she might have felt forced to make the decision. This is because just a couple of days later, the actress told him that she wished to have sex with another man before they got married.

It is worth mentioning that Aaron opened up about their split because Shailene has previously claimed that their breakup gave her “crazy depression.” She also revealed the person who got her through those times. 

Who is the person who helped Shailene Woodley after her breakup with Aaron Rodgers? 

Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers had dated for two years before they broke up in February 2022. Notably, this was just a year after the duo went public with their relationship. During an interview with Outside Magazine, the actress detailed how their split led to her depression. She claimed that she had chosen to stay in a “toxic situation” just because she empathized with “someone else.”

However, while she was going through a difficult time following her breakup with Aaron, Shailene credited her stylist, Kris Zero, for helping her get through it all. She recalled that her depression eventually began to fade around six months after her split.

According to Shailene, she realized that she was depressed when she would look at a tree and feel nothing. She claimed that it was “the lowest point” of her life. But Kris, who remained by Shailene’s side, would wake her up every morning by blasting music in an effort to get her out of bed. Shailene said: 

“Sometimes I was so angry at her. But then we’d go surf, and for 10 minutes that day I thought life could be OK again. Then the depression would come back, and she’d go, ‘We’re volunteering at the horse ranch!’”

Shailene shared that she and Kris would go and find a random horse ranch and clean up after the animals. This would make the actress feel like life was okay again for a short period of time before she was hit with depression again. However, Kris, who appeared determined to get Shailene out of that headspace, would take her on a hike the next day to make her feel better. Shailene stated:

“And we’d find a random fucking horse ranch, and we’d clean up horse shit. We’d clean hooves and brush the horses, and for 20 minutes that day I thought life could be OK again. And then the depression came back, and she’d wake me up the next morning and go, ‘Let’s go on a hike and bring trash bags and clean up trash!’”

Shailene Woodley said she did not want to be with Aaron Rodgers after they tried to reconcile 

For the unversed, Aaron Rodgers had proposed to Shailene Woodley in December 2020. Aaron had announced their engagement during his acceptance speech at the NFL MVP award ceremony. But the athlete shared that by March 2021, Shailene had already taken off her engagement ring.

While appearing on the Not Just Football podcast, Aaron shared that Shailene told him, “Before we get married, I gotta go fuck this guy.” This is why Aaron was surprised when she claimed he gave her depression after their breakup. 

Aaron noted that while they did try to reunite at one point, nothing really came of it. He explained: 

"There wasn’t even a relationship in 2022 to break off. She literally told me, 'I don’t want to be with you' after we tried some reconciliation in 2021. There’s just a lot of narrative out there that isn’t true."
