“Grateful for his mastery and friendship”: The post featured a black and white photo of him walking with tattoo artist Balazs Bercsenyi
The post comes after his on-off romance with fiancé Shailene Woodley ended.
In April, it emerged that the couple had broken up after dating for more than a year.
However, in June, Shailene revealed that the past month had been a bright spot in her personal life, when she gushed on Instagram, “God I’m thankful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“God I’m thankful!!!!!!!!!!!!!”: Woodley gushed on Instagram in June that her “head + heart” was “nourished” that month
She wrote: “To the month of June: if you put the macro-whack world events aside for a minute, you have nurtured this woman’s head and heart on a micro level.”
The ‘Big Little Lies’ star gushed, “You gave me oxygen in the form of friends, babies, trees, magic, DANCE, animals, salt, sun, deep talk, six packs of laughter, availability in the form of tears, PLAY, sunrises ‘hallway label, stupidity, spontaneity, flatbread (so much flatbread!), hello and goodbye.’
Shailene checked the name of a psychic named Dante Sabatino, “a beautiful, wise Italian guy in New York,” who “told me this was going to be the best month ever, and he wasn’t wrong.”
Aaron and Shailene began their romance and got engaged in late 2020 and stayed together throughout the following year.
The way they were: In April this year, it emerged that the 30-year-old actress split from her NFL fiancé Aaron after a more than year-long on-off romance
She stood by his side as he was rocked by controversy for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine, citing an allergy to one of the ingredients in mRNA vaccines.
Another reason he gave was the possibility that he and Shailene wanted to get pregnant and as a result online trolls started blaming her for his refusal to take the injection.
Aaron has been accused of falsely implying he had been vaccinated months earlier when he told reporters he was “immunized”.
Details: “Shailene felt like everything was on Aaron’s terms and it wasn’t making her happy,” a source told People after their recent split.
It emerged this February that they had split, but then they seemed to give the romance another shot before splitting again in April.
“Shailene felt like everything was on Aaron’s terms and it wasn’t making her happy,” a source told People after their recent split.
“Shailene tried again and spent time with Aaron. But she quickly saw that everything was on his terms and nothing would change,” an E! news source. “There was no reason to continue and she’s done with it again.”
“Mourning is Praise”: In April after their last breakup, Shailene took to her Insta Stories to share a quote about grief from writer and shaman Martin Prechtel
After their initial split in February, Aaron appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and apologized to Shailene and his other “lovers” for having to absorb the “sliver” of his vaccine controversy.
In April, following their most recent breakup, Shailene took to her Insta Stories to share a quote about grief from writer and shaman Martin Prechtel.
“Speaking out loud for someone we’ve lost, or a country or homeland we’ve lost, is in itself the highest praise we could ever give them,” the quote reads. “Sadness is praise, for it is love’s natural way of honoring what is lacking.”
