When they split in February, a source said it was “amicable,” explaining that their relationship “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,” the source said at the time.
The following month, though, another insider said Rodgerswas hoping they’d reconcile: “They both had intense work schedules in the fall and it wasn’t possible for them to focus on their relationship. Now when Aaron’s season is over, he wants to give it another try. He thinks Shailene is very special. She is more hesitant though.”
