Aaron Rodgers Makes His First Comments on Shailene Woodley Engagement

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a very interesting man. For one he kept his entire relationship with a high profile actress a secret. Then he got engaged without any knowing, subtly dropping the news during his MVP acceptance speech. Now that the dust from the breaking news has settled, Rodgers is talking about his high profile relationship with the young actress. Rodgers spoke to People about the engagement and more.

Via People:

When asked about his past year and recovery during the off-season, Rodgers mentioned his relationship with Woodley. Though he did not name his fiancée, the Green Bay Packers quarterback did speak about his happiness.

“I’m recently engaged, so been enjoying that part of my life,” Rodgers said.

“Obviously that’s the best thing that’s happened to me in the last year,” the athlete added.

Rodgers also spoke about becoming a father one day:

And about his future, Rodgers said the “next great challenge will be being a father,” adding that he’s “in the age group where a lot of my close friends from high school and college are fathers now and have families of their own.”

The star elaborated on how fatherhood is something he’s been thinking about but the idea of becoming a parent is “maybe not in the immediate future but definitely something I look forward to, it’s gonna be a really fun challenge.”

Along with continuing to focus on taking care of his body in the off-season to prepare for the next season, he said, “I’ll look forward to taking care of another life at some point. I think it’s gonna be so fun. I’ve dreamt about what that will be like, I’m really excited about that chapter whenever that comes.”

Sounds like Rodgers has his future all mapped out. It would be a lot nicer for him if that future also had another Super Bowl ring in it.

Life comes at you fast.
