The 2026 Emmy Awards delivered plenty of memorable moments, but none got the internet talking quite like Shailene Woodley and Olivia Munn deep in conversation, with Munn holding Woodley’s hand as Woodley shook her head. The two actresses share a notable connection: both dated NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Munn was with him for three years until 2017, and Woodley was engaged to him in 2021 before the relationship ended in 2022.
The timing of their Emmys interaction raised eyebrows because it came just days after Rodgers appeared on a podcast and claimed that his exes’fame“peaked”while they were with him, along with some crude remarks about Woodley. When TMZ asked Woodley about his comments outside a pre-Emmys fundraiser, she laughed it off. Both women have since moved on: Munn is married to comedian John Mulaney, and Rodgers is married to Brittani.
Whether the Emmys moment was a show of solidarity, a genuine friendship, or simply two people being cordial at a major event, viewers couldn’t stop talking about it. What do you think was really going on during that conversation?
