“Her story is that I ruined her life and gave her crazy depression because I left her. But in actuality, she told me that, and then she took off the ring by March – I proposed in December,” Rodgers said.

He said the pair tried to get reunited a few times, but nothing happened.
“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.”
The 42-year-old athlete proposed to the 34-year-old actress in December 2021.
Things between the duo were cut off in March 2022, which was about a year after they went public with their relationship.
In 2024, Woodley shared information about the relationship breakdown from her perspective, which surrounded a traumatic event she experienced in early 2022.
“I felt like I lost my soul, my self, my happiness, my joy. I really understood depression and anxiety and, like, complete soul detachment,” Woodley said.

She said the reason she chose to stay in a “toxic situation” was because she was empathising with “someone else”.
She did not name who the “someone else” was.
Woodley was most recently spotted spending time with The Strangers star Milo Callaghan in Milan this year, People Magazine reported.
She was photographed with the British actor in February.
This comes after she was recently in a romantic relationship with Emily in Paris actor Lucas Bravo.
Their split was reported in September last year.
Rodgers is currently married to a woman named Brittani, about whom he has shared a few details.
