Aaron Rodgers is looking out for Shailene Woodley.
The happy couple only recently confirmed their engagement, but according to a new report, Rodgers is looking to make this relationship different by keeping his family at bay.
The Green Bay Packers‘ star quaterback has shared a tense relationship with his parents and brother, and it has seeped into his past relationships with the likes of Olivia Munn and Danica Patrick.
“Aaron is focusing on starting his own family with Shailene [and] continuing his career in the NFL,” a source close to the quarterback told HollywoodLife. “And he is making sure that those take his full attention.”
The source said the “strain” in his family was due to “many reasons,” including Rodgers, 37, “feeling like his family is taking advantage of his success.”

According to the insider, Rodgers “wants to protect his relationship with Shailene, and bringing into it the drama of what he is going through with his family is not something he wants to do right now — or at all.”
The former California Golden Bear is currently “staying in his own lane” but “is well aware things could become better in the future.” Furthermore, he is focusing on appreciating “what he has over what he doesn’t.”
Reps for the stars did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
