Actress Shailene Woodley said she believes she would have met fiancé Aaron Rodgers no matter what, because the two “were meant to be together.”

Woodley opened up about the beginning of her fast-paced relationship with the Green Bay Packers quarterback in an interview published Monday by Shape magazine. Woodley and Rodgers’ relationship wasn’t publicly confirmed until the couple announced their engagement in February. (RELATED: Shailene Woodley Confirms She’s Engaged To Aaron Rodgers)

“Starting a relationship where you immediately move in with someone — because it’s a pandemic and you can’t just get on a plane and go back and forth on weekends — taught us a lot about each other very quickly,” Woodley told the magazine. “We jumped in headfirst and got some of the sticky bits out of the way early.”

“But I have the perspective that I would have met Aaron in any context, any space in time, because I feel we were meant to be together,” she added.

Woodley and Rodgers reportedly began dating in July of 2020, but it’s unclear how the two started their relationship.

Before his relationship with Woodley, Rodgers dated racing star Danica Patrick. The two called it quits in July of 2020, the same month he reportedly began dating Woodley.
