Actors Shailene Woodley and Lucas Bravo, who confirmed their relationship in April 2025, have ended their romance after approximately six months together, sources reveal. The couple, seen publicly affectionate in various locations from Paris to California throughout their brief relationship, parted ways by September 2025, marking a sudden close to their unexpected connection.
Details Surrounding Shailene Woodley and Lucas Bravo’s Breakup
Shailene Woodley, 33, and Lucas Bravo, 37, officially separated just half a year after their romance became public. Fans first spotted the pair together in March 2025, and their relationship was made evident through social media posts in April. However, by September, they had quietly ended their relationship, confirmed by an insider to People magazine.
The couple’s social media activity has been notably erased; both have removed photos documenting their time together, including a significant April 30 post by Lucas that featured moments holding hands at Slab City, California. Shailene also deleted an early May post of Lucas celebrating Star Wars Day at Disneyland, as well as all other pictures shared during their relationship.
Their last clear public interaction was photographed on August 4, when Shailene was seen embracing Lucas on the set of his Netflix series, where he was filming its fifth season. Throughout their time together, the duo frequently displayed their affections publicly, including a romantic walk through Paris’ Saint-Germain-des-Prés district that initially spotlighted their bond.
Lucas had expressed happiness about the relationship during an April interview with People, candidly stating, “Yeah, I’m really happy.” Despite the breakup, this statement reflects the joy they experienced during their time as a couple.
Shailene Woodley’s Relationship Perspectives and Aspirations
Prior to her involvement with Lucas Bravo, Shailene Woodley was engaged to NFL star Aaron Rodgers but has been open about her vision for a meaningful, lasting partnership. In a recent September 2024 interview with Bustle, she articulated her desires for a future with a life partner and family.
She said,
“I want to find a person to do life with, and have a family. And I want to watch the sunset,”
highlighting a longing for simple, intimate moments. Further explaining her hopes, Shailene added,
“I want to be a mom. My god, I want to cook someone dinner every night and travel the world with them and have pillow talk and celebrate their joys and their purpose and their destinies and have mine also be celebrated.”
Nevertheless, she recognizes the challenges in finding the right partner and remains optimistic about the future. She reflected,
“I don’t think I ever really had expectations of life,”
continuing,
“I don’t have a ‘that should have happened by now’ kind of thing. I wake up every day and I say out loud, ‘I’m so excited for the magic and miracles that are going to happen today.’”
