Theo James Shailene Woodley: Their Lives After 'Divergent'
Shailene Woodley and Theo James never stop grabbing the headlines after the Divergent series ended. The two had been romantically linked before but now they are in happy romantic relationships and are both busy with their respective projects.
After being single for five years, Woodley is now in a relationship with rugby player Ben Volavola. The two just made their romance official on Instagram. Woodley shared a snap of them on Instagram stories recently.
The couple was previously seen attending the Valentino Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2018 show at the Paris Fashion Week in France. Woodley posted multiple photos of them on social media, including one photo of them posing against a Valentino sign and a snap of Volavola napping after the show.
The Big Little Lies actress and Volavola reportedly first met in Fiji where Woodley was filming Adrift. Since then, they were seen getting cozy together on several occasions, one of which was outside a café in New Zealand in October.
If Woodley is flaunting her romance on social media, James is a different story. He is not fond of selfies and social media. His fans can't expect him to see with his Irish actress girlfriend Ruth Kearney because he wants to keep it private. He maintains a low-key relationship with Kearney, whom he started dating since 2009. Kearney is best known for portraying the role of London in Netflix series Flaked.
