Publish date: 2024-09-07

Shailene Woodley may have found her perfect match in Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers, but that doesn't mean that she only has eyes for men. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2014, the Hollywood starlet admitted a few things about her sexuality. "I fall in love with human beings based on who they are, not based on what they do or what sex they are," Woodley told the outlet. She didn't go into any further details, but she did share a little more about her sexuality and relationships with Bustle in 2020.

"I have had very traumatic sexual experiences. I translate[d] my personal trauma into what she [her "Big Little Lies" character] was experiencing in the best way that I knew," she told the outlet. "There have been times in my personal life where [I] want to experience something with someone, but you're so afraid because of whatever it is [so] you stop yourself."

However, Woodley also noted that she had someone, in particular, help her along her sexual journey. "I had a lover that taught me a lot about my own body and my own emotional connection to sex," she dished. "That's when I feel like I healed my relationship with sexuality — when this beautiful man came into my life and helped me walk through that journey. I love sex. I think it is one of the most underrated, underappreciated, and undervalued experiences that we have."
