Shailene Woodley and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ relationship took the internet by surprise. It seemed like nobody was aware the two were even dating until news broke that they were engaged to be married. 

Rodgers first announced his engagement to Woodley in February 2021 while receiving his NFL MVP award. Woodley later confirmed the couple’s engagement while appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

“Yes, we are engaged, we are engaged,” Woodley told Fallon at the time. “But for us, it’s not new news, you know, so it’s kind of funny, everybody right now is freaking out over it, and we’re like, ‘Yeah we’ve been engaged for a while.'”

Comedian John Mulaney and Olivia Munn shocked the internet when the two revealed they were dating and expecting a child together in September 2021, months after he filed for divorce from Anna Marie Tendler.

Mulaney officially filed for divorce in July 2021, but the couple originally announced they were separating in May.

The internet has speculated that Mulaney allegedly cheated on Tendler with Munn. The actress addressed the rumors but decided against giving a timeline to correct the online narrative.

“They think they know our relationship so well. When, in reality, they don’t,” Munn told the Los Angeles Times. “There’s no way anyone could know what any of his relationships were or what our relationship is.”

John Mulaney confirmed his relationship with Olivia Munn in September. The comedian also revealed he was expecting a child with her.
