Woodley has largely kept her dating life under wraps since her split fromAaron Rodgers, which PEOPLE reported in February 2022.

A source close to the NFL player, 40, confirmed at the time that he and Woodley hadgone their separate ways, just over a year after he made thesurprise announcementthat they were engaged.

“It was an amicable split; it just wasn’t working,” the insider said at the time. “They’re very different people with busy careers and there were obstacles that they couldn’t surmount. They will remain friendly; there’s no bad blood and no drama. It just didn’t work out for them.”

Woodley seemingly referred to her breakup from Rodgers in a January 2023 interview with Net-a-Porter’s digital titlePORTER, where she said “it was hard to film” her Showtime seriesThree Women"because I was going through the darkest, hardest time in my life."

“It was winter in New York, and my personal life was s—–, so it felt like a big pain bubble for eight months,” Woodley said. (Three Womenwas filmed between October 2021 and the following May.)

“I was so grateful that at least I could go to work and cry and process my emotions through my character,” she added.

TheDivergentactress also toldPORTERthatattention on her relationship with Rodgers felt “violating,“explaining, “It honestly never really hit me that millions of people around the world were actually watching these things and paid attention to them.”

“Then I dated somebody in America who was very, very famous,” Woodley continued. “It was the first time I’d had a quote-unquote ‘famous’ relationship, and I watched scrutiny, opinions, the desire for people to know my life and his life and our life — it just felt violating in a way that, before, it was fun.”

She added, “I’m a very private person, and so I found that any time I posted anything, I instantly felt like I was sharing too much of who I am with people I didn’t necessarily trust.”
