Back To The Beach

[Blind Gossip] Now that we’ve passed Valentine’s Day, let’s take a look at some couples for whom the chocolates and hearts and flowers are permanently over.

Our first celebrity breakup is a couple we’ve talked about before.

We made it clear that their relationship was one that was rooted in practicality rather than love.

It was a double-bearding situation and they both benefited a lot from this straight relationship.

We will note that they genuinely did enjoy each other’s company and became close friends.

As their friendship progressed, they “double dated” and went on a lot of vacations together. There were lots of athletic beach photos of the fit couple enjoying themselves.

They bonded over how difficult it was to be gay in their chosen professions.

He was pretty mixed up about who he was. She helped him find some clarity and helped him feel like it was okay to be gay.

Not out… but okay.

It actually makes sense that she was a good person to help him with that. We think that his past beards were straight. Thus, they might have known who he was and willingly bearded for him, but it would have been difficult for them to understand what he was really going through internally.

She did understand. And the relationship grew.

They trusted each other enough to seriously talk about getting married and having a child together.

While non-traditional, that arrangement could have worked. Since they genuinely liked and trusted each other, either of those events would have enabled them to maintain their hetero bona fides forever.

Alas, those good vibes did not last forever. The fakery got to be too much.

He was going through some sh*t and he thought that she should be more supportive of him even if she didn’t always agree with him. She didn’t want to fake that part. That annoyed him because they were faking everything else.

That’s an interesting point. We know our man is very big on loyalty, so perhaps her selective fakeness felt like disloyalty to him.

He started backing out of both the wedding plans and the baby plans and avoiding her.

She knew it was over. I wouldn’t say she was heartbroken. More like disappointed.

Of course, their breakup is being blamed on the usual: work commitment, timing, distance.

But now you know that it was an arrangement that just didn’t work for the long run.

They don’t hate each other or anything like that. They will just go back to their old lives.

She’ll go back to movies and TV.

He’ll go back to throwing those all-male beach house parties.

He did keep the beach house, didn’t he?

    I am going to be patient with Aaron. I have every belief he will come out when the glare of celebrity wanes. He will likely play 2-4 more years, then retire, quietly come out, find a guy and have a child. He seems sincerely interested in becoming a father.

  2. Princess Consuela Bananahammock says

    Knew who it was before the comments were published. Way too easy!!! But what’s the “issue” that she supposedly wasn’t supportive enough about? Not American and really don’t care about American sports except basketball. No offence intended.

  3. zappy2050 says

    When I was 19 years old – I was asked by someone to beard for them – get married, have kids and it would be in name only. He was 12 years older. At the time, I actually considered it but then backed out – mainly because we were going to be living in 2 separate households and I was worried what family and friends would think.

    I am glad I didn’t do it – because I married someone wonderful – but it could work.

    I wIsh Aaron Rogers well – it has to be difficult for him.

  4. ginafair says

    Aaron Rogers comes from a very strict Evangelical Christian family…he will never come “out” as long as his parents are alive.

    • Sassymom says

      I wonder if this is the reason he no longer speaks to them? Also why he questions religions in general. His family should accept him for who he is..and not judge him because of it.

  5. Whisper says

    Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers pretty obvious.
    [Optional] Doubt he’ll come out, he loves his career too much- when that stops he can always do the restaurant owner thing a of sports guys do. Having hooked up with him wouldn’t it make it harder for her to come out? She’ll out herself as a liar. It’s kind of sad as they loved each other as friends enough to want to raise a child together. Then again the child would have to live with the public lie.

  6. gailpow says

    No doubt this is Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley–double-bearding extraordinaire! Aaron Rodgers did recently sell his Del Mar beach house near San Diego but he turned around and bought another one up in Malibu. The hunky guys on the beach in LA might be preferred to the ones down here south.

  11. Snufkin_the_Mumrik says

    Aaron and Shailene.
    And hell no he’ll never come out. He’s too big a name in too big a game to be seen as anything but a HETERO MAN.
    He’ll keep playing until he can’t, then someone will hire him to be a talking head and nobody will care who he’s with.

    • amagod121 says

      Mine too. But we never hear of them together since the end of the Primaries so
      I guess they “broke up” back then.

      Meanwhile, Aaron and Shailene did break up, so it points to the blind being about them. It’s too bad that the friendship is over as well as the plans to marry and have a kid. I am not saying I thought they should have pretended to be hetro; no, just that given they both wanted the hetro lifestyle and a family, it was a decent way for them to do both.

  13. gypjett says

    The best gay QB in the NFL, Aaron Rodgers. He has the beach house in Malibu? He’s all gay, all the time, and a drama queen. Shailene Woodley is latest beard.

  15. aaaStorm says

    Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley

    I don’t think he will ever come out, which I find extremely sad. Not being able to be who you are in your life must be horrible.

  17. Lakili says

    Aaron and Shailene. I think people are getting very tired of his arrogant attitude. Maybe he’ll come out after retirement.

  19. Shmootorious says

    Shailene Woodley & Aaron Rodgers. I don’t know when they’ll drop this charade, but it doesn’t make sense for Hollywood to have all this support for the LGBT community and then for celebrities to hide in the back of the closet, smh.

    • lost29 says

      It makes perfect sense when you consider that Hollywood is a business that generates most of its revenue from outside the US.

      Difficult to film or promote a movie in a lot of places in the world that are very anti-LGBT, which either limits roles or more importantly limits box office potential.

  20. lila8245 says

    Aaron Rogers, Shailene Woodley.

    [Optional] I knew that wouldn’t last. I think it’s sad and kind of pathetic that he feels the need to lie about so many things- from his sexuality to his vaccination status. Why bother lying about those kinds of things in this day and age?

  31. harperleigh says

    Aaron Rogers
    Shailene Woodley

    Yes, he will come out years from now when he is out of the spotlight and in a stable relationship

  37. Kate2020 says

    Cory Booker and Rosario Dawson. Another example of NOT PROUD ENOUGH TO COME OUT member of LGBTQ community.

  38. burge007 says

    Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers.

    I think eventually he will be outed and will have to come clean. He will retire and eventually be out and about but I don’t think he will be as popular only because of his own weirdness period.

  39. Prince4Ever says

    Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rogers.
    it’s sad that they don’t feel that they can live their lives honestly and authentcally.

    He won’t ever come out and as he ages out of football his life will be very lonely.

  40. Lookinlady says

    Aaron Rogers — we KNOW you are gay. You look like a fool with all of your fake girlfriends !

  41. isleparadise says

    Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rogers

    It’s 2022, I wish they both live their truth. Life’s too short to hide who they are. I wish them both the best.

  43. rizzlesizzle says

    Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley.

    “It was an amicable split; it just wasn’t working. They’re very different people with busy careers and there were obstacles that they couldn’t surmount. They will remain friendly; there’s no bad blood and no drama. It just didn’t work out for them.”

  47. laurel74 says

    Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers

    He’ll never come out. He’ll just continue on as he has been.

  48. catfish89 says

    Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers.
    I am a naturally doubtful of things like this, but believe this is correct. Just can’t understand why she would do it. I don’t think it would harm her career in anyway. For him, on the other hand, I think it would affect his career, at least in some way that might be important to him. It is unfair, but unfortunately true.

  54. Jeanesgenes says

    Aaron Rodgers
    Shailene Woodley

    He needs to get his head together about what he wants to do post football. She didn’t deserve to have him dump her . He’s got a misguided sense of loyalty.
    Good luck to her.

  55. TonySheridan says

    Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley. There’s nothing wrong with a marriage based on friendship and trust, but the way he kept publicly digging himself deeper probably opened Shailene’s eyes.

    Generally, coming out after retirement is not a big barrier-but he has lost a lot of good will. I don’t think he’ll get a lot of backlash, but the support that people that others might get probably isn’t going to be coming his way.

  56. kellyp says

    Shailene woodley and Aaron Rodgers. I think she will stay in the closet. I think Aaron will be like Troy Aikman- myob

  57. momoftwo2015 says

    Oh I was waiting for this story of what really happened all day

    Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley

    I hope he can find peace and be his authentic self in public at some point.

  60. badgerette85 says

    Aaron Rogers
    Shailene Woodley
    Op- maybe once he is retired he will come out; don’t see it happening before.
    I believe there will be quite the media outburst, but think most people really don’t care what his preference is- then again the whole (non) vax fiasco comes to mind, so who knows.

  61. Weazle says

    When I inform regular football bros that Aaron Rodgers is gay, they are shocked. He keeps his secret so well, except in SoCal.

    Shailene Woodly is a hottie. I can see why Rodgers would fear coming out, but not her.

  63. GizmoD says

    Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley.

    People don’t care if you are gay, just come out & don’t hide it.

  66. chiente says

    This has to be * Rogers. He thinks we’re all idiots who believe their fake lives are real ones. I don’t care if you’re gay and stop being a liar about it. We already know.

  68. luddite2 says

    Aaron Rodgers. He will not come out until his football career is over, if ever, and
    he will continue to alienate everyone around him.

  70. phoenix8209 says

    Shailene Woodley & Aaron Rodgers. I think it’s sad when you can’t live an authentic life. I feel sorry for them both.

  71. KarmaFlower says

    Clearly Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley. Too bad he couldn’t appreciate what she was doing by being a true friend to him. Hope he gets the help he needs to embrace who he is, so he can live his best life. For me, I don’t care who you love, Aaron. I do care if you act like an entitled * to other people. So, the partnership ended, but does he still have a significant other? I’m not clear on this.

  73. gc02ef says

    Aaron Rodgers and Shailene W.

    He will only come out if the decision is made for him (ie about to be leaked)

  75. madisonmtom says

    shailene woodley and aaron rodgers! hopefully they can eventually live their truth and be happy!

  79. caela94 says

    Couple. Aaron Rodgers and Shaleine

    He’ll never come out due to his hypocrisy.
    She’ll do it gradually
    Won’t hurt careers

  84. dtoro7 says

    Arron Rodgers and what’s her name.

    He probably won’t come out and it suck’s because NFL is all in on “equality” and “it takes all of us” and “end racism” and yet here is a gay man who is one of the best all time at his position and he isn’t supported enough to come out and thrive. He can be a positive role model for all other gay men in sports on all levels who aren’t rich and famous and feel afraid to come out, but the true nature of the NFL is not one of equality. Clearly.
