Politics and general worldview have become common factor in break-up. Especially in the polarizing environment of the country today. Sources told US Weekly that Rodgers and Woodley certainly had their differences and ultimately their relationship didn’t work.

“They thought were a good match for each other in the beginning but the more they got to know each other they realized their careers, their interests [and] their political views weren’t aligned.” Woodley has garnered attention for her activism on environmental issues, including a 2016 arrest in Standing Rock, North Dakota in connection with a protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
