Shailene Woodley has wholeheartedly embraced the romantic allure of the City of Love by openly displaying her burgeoning romance. On a sun-kissed Sunday, the beloved "Big Little Lies" actress was captured strolling through the enchanting streets of Paris, hand-in-hand with fellow thespian Lucas Bravo. The tender moment, immortalized in photographs initially shared by People, seemed to affirm their burgeoning coupling.
In the snapshots, Woodley and Bravo, renowned for his role in "Emily in Paris," coordinated in matching emerald sweaters. Woodley's ensemble was complemented by a sleek, long black wool coat, while Bravo opted for a stylish fur-lined brown leather jacket, adding a dash of rugged charm to their ensemble.
Neither Woodley nor Bravo has publicly commented on the photos or the nature of their relationship. Prior to this, Woodley was famously engaged to NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but their nuptials were tragically called off in 2022, following a two-year romance. According to InTouch, an insider revealed that Woodley was troubled by Rodgers' prioritization of his football career over their engagement.
"While Shailene was supportive of Aaron's career aspirations, he consistently placed football at the forefront, leaving them with minimal quality time together," they divulged. "She felt neglected and unhappy in the relationship, a sentiment shared by Aaron."
In an interview with Bustle in September 2024, Woodley reflected on how her perspective on love had evolved since parting ways with the controversial athlete. "I used to give endlessly, even when disrespected," she confided. "But now, if crossed, I gracefully part ways with a heartfelt, 'Thank you for that insight. I wish you all the best.' I'm no longer interested in toxic dynamics."
She also confessed to having gained a newfound indifference to public perception, stemming from her own heartbreak. "I've repeatedly fallen in love with unavailable partners. I wear my heart on my sleeve, loving deeply and freely, but never frivolously," Woodley shared. She elaborated that it had taken her considerable time to grasp that she couldn't solely mend a relationship and that her primary focus was safeguarding her profound love and care for the world and those dear to her.
As for Bravo, although he hasn't publicly delved into his past relationships, he did share his relationship dealbreakers with Glamour in 2020. "I loathe it when someone flees from confrontation," he admitted. "Communication is the cornerstone of any relationship. Don't shy away or preemptively judge how your partner will react."
"I can't abide by silence when there's an elephant in the room, nor do I appreciate pouting or avoiding difficult conversations," he continued, underscoring his commitment to open and honest dialogue in relationships.
