Shailene Woodley, Secret Life of the American Teenager icon who once mused “my religion is the Earth, man, I believe in trees,” is dating Lucas Bravo, star of Emily in Paris.
The new couple caught the internet slightly by surprise thanks to no one having any idea that they even knew each other, but honestly, weirder celebrity pairings have happened. See: Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet.
And while Shailene and Lucas are brand new, things are happening fast. By which I mean they keep being spotted wandering around Paris cuddling. So yeah, obviously, a timeline (complete with background/lore) is needed for important research and journalism purposes.
Circa October, 2020
Lucas tells Glamour his relationship dealbreakers. “I really don’t like when the person runs away,” he muses. “I like communication. It’s the basis of everything. I don’t like when there is an elephant in the room and the person chooses to just run away or slam the door or sit in a corner with their baby face on. I don’t like pouting or when someone avoids a conversation.”
That same month, he tells ELLE “I like that ‘instant connection.’ Sometimes, you just run into someone, you look at this person in the eyes, and in an instant, in a second, so much is said. There’s an entire conversation going through each other’s eyes in an instant, and you feel like you’ve known the person, or the person knows you—it’s the connection I’m looking for. Just feeling safe and feeling like there’s an old soul in front of me, and we’ve always known each other [like] in a past life or something… it’s something you cannot see, and that’s mostly what I’m looking for. And in order to find that, I guess you need to be willing to tear down the masks and armours and be vulnerable and it’s so hard in this society.”
NOTED!

Shailene is spotted with a “mystery man” at the White Horse Tavern in NYC, and a source tells People that they were “in great spirits, engaged in conversation together and were seen eating burrata and a platter of dips and had wine on the table,” and “were dressed casual and all smiles.”
December, 2024
Shailene opens up about her 2022 split from Aaron Rodgers, telling Outside magazine (v. on brand publication for her) that “I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron because it always makes me cry. It was not right. But it was beautiful.”
March 23, 2025
