Woodley and the New York Jets quarterback went public with their romance in July 2020, after they started dating during the beginning. In February 2021, they announced their engagement. But, in 2022, the engagement ended and the pair split.

Though she didn't directly refer to the end of the engagement, Woodley did tell the magazine she "had a really awful, traumatic thing happen in early 2022" -- before opening up about the depression and anxiety that followed.

"I felt like I lost my soul, myself, my happiness, my joy," she said. "I really understood depression and anxiety and complete soul detachment. I knew I was depressed when I looked at a tree and felt nothing."

Woodley credited friend and stylist, Kris Zero, for being there for her during the "lowest low" of her life.

"Sometimes I was so angry at her," she said. "But then we'd go surf, and for ten minutes that day I thought life could be okay again. Then the depression would come back, and she'd go, 'We're volunteering at the horse ranch!'"
