They first sparked dating rumors after being spotted on vacation together in Hawaii.According to E!, Woodley spoke about Bear during her Divergent press interviews in 2014. “He has dramatically changed my life,” she said. “All of his songs are not only inspirational but relatable.”Ben VolavolaWWD//Getty ImagesA year after her relationship with Bear ended, Woodley began dating Ben Volavola, a Fijian-Australian rugby player. They reportedly met in Fiji while she was filming Adrift. They later attended the film’s premiere together in 2018. Their relationship lasted until 2020.Paul Archuleta//Getty ImagesIn a 2020 Bustle cover story, Woodley reflected on why the relationship ended. “I was in a relationship with someone, and we were very much on the road to marriage and children,” she said. “I realized I was still at an age where I wasn’t able to fully commit. I couldn’t be available to him in the way that I wanted to be. I didn’t fully love myself.”Aaron RodgersChance Yeh//Getty ImagesWoodley’s most high-profile relationship was with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The former couple was first linked during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and they announced their engagement in February 2021.“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,” Woodley told Shape in 2021.However, the relationship came to an end when they called off their engagement in 2022. The following year, Woodley opened up about the public pressure that came with their romance.“It honestly never really hit me that millions of people around the world were actually watching these things and paid attention to them,” she told Net-a-Porter. “Then, I dated somebody in America who was very, very famous. It was the first time that I’d had a quote-unquote ‘famous’ relationship, and I watched [the] 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. 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.”In 2024, Woodley spoke even more about their relationship. “I had a really awful, traumatic thing happen in early 2022,” she told Outside. “I felt like I lost my soul, my self, my happiness, my joy. I really understood depression and anxiety and, like, complete soul detachment.”She added, “I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron because it always makes me cry. It was not right. But it was beautiful.”Lucas BravoGilbert Flores//Getty ImagesWoodley and Emily in Paris star Lucas Bravo were first linked in March 2025, when they were photographed holding hands in Paris. Shortly after, Bravo told People, “Yeah, I’m really happy.”In August, a source told the outlet, “It’s the total opposite of her dynamic with Aaron. She’s happy, light, and having fun again.”But the romance came to an end in September 2025. At the time, an insider told People that Woodley was “fine” and “uber focused on work.” The source continued, “There is no drama, or hard feelings. They just have different priorities.”
