Social Media Has Plenty of Thoughts About Aaron Rogers and Shailene Woodley's Breakup

By Alyssa Fikse

Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers have reportedly ended their engagement, and social media had a lot to say about the celebrity split.  According to In Touch Weekly, the Green Bay Packers quarterback and Big Little Lies actress just couldn't make things work long-term. "While Shailene is supportive of Aaron's career, he put football first and they were barely spending any time together," an insider told In Touch. "She felt he neglected their relationship. Neither of them was happy."

Another insider told In Touch that Rodgers and Woodley "couldn't make it work. There were too many obstacles. They're both adults and decided to part amicably." Even if it's true that the split was amicable, Twitter still had jokes to make, and most of them were on Woodley's side. Rodgers really burned through a lot of goodwill due to his recent anti-vaccine rhetoric.

"So many big breakups this week: Kanye, Julia...Shailene and Aaron," joked comedian Carey O'Donnell. "We're losing sight of who we are."
