Looks like we can give up any hope of Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley getting back together. Despite the fact that the pair have been spotted together multiple times since their breakup several months ago, E! News reported on April 25 that a source confirmed the actor and Green Bay Packers quarterback are, in fact, "not together." "Shailene tried to give it another shot and was spending time with Aaron, but she quickly saw that everything was on his terms and nothing was going to change," the source told the outlet. "There was no reason to continue and she's done with it again."
Woodley and Rodgers broke up in February after being engaged for over a year. According to People, the split was amicable. "They're very different people with busy careers and there were obstacles that they couldn't surmount," a source told the publication at the time. "They will remain friendly...

Twerking, hip thrusting, ball-talk, sliding into DMs... There was a lot of excitement during E!

Linebacker Clay Matthews, offensive linemen David Bakhtiari, T.J. Lang, Josh Sitton and Don Barclay joined Aaron Rodgers' younger brother and fellow football player Jordan Rodgers for a rendition of Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious" for the anticipated sequel, and lived to tell the tale.
