Shailene Woodley was born on November 15, 1991, in Simi Valley, California, to Lori and Loni Woodley. Her mother worked as a middle school counselor, and her father was a school principal. She has one sibling, a younger brother named Tanner Woodley. At the age of four, Shailene began her career as a child model. However, at 15, she was diagnosed with scoliosis, a condition that required her to wear a plastic back brace from her chest to her hips in order to correct the curvature of her spine. That same year proved challenging personally as well, as her parents divorced.
Woodley attended Simi Valley High School while actively pursuing acting opportunities. During her early teenage years, she landed several minor roles, leading to more significant parts over time. She also considered studying interior design at New York University, though her acting career soon became her primary focus.
Her first major television role came as Amy Juergens in the ABC Family series The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which aired from 2008 to 2013. Prior to that, she played the lead in the 2005 television film Felicity: An American Girl Adventure, portraying Felicity Merriman.
Woodley's breakthrough performance came in 2011, when she starred opposite George Clooney in the critically acclaimed film The Descendants. Her portrayal of Alexandra King earned her widespread praise and recognition. She received the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture.
In 2014, Woodley gained international recognition for her role as Beatrice “Tris” Prior in the Divergent series, based on the bestselling novels by Veronica Roth. Her powerful performance anchored the film adaptations and earned her a large global following. That same year, she also starred as Hazel Grace Lancaster in the film adaptation of John Green’s novel, The Fault in Our Stars.
Woodley’s on-screen chemistry with co-star Ansel Elgort in The Fault in Our Stars earned them the “Best On-Screen Couple” award at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards, an acknowledgment that resonated with fans. That year, she also received the Young Hollywood Award, further solidifying her status as a rising star in the film industry.
Despite her fame, Woodley has generally kept her personal life private. In 2012, she was rumored to be dating actor Shiloh Fernandez, though she has neither confirmed nor discussed the relationship publicly. She has not commented on marriage or long-term relationships, maintaining a low profile regarding her romantic life.
In interviews, Woodley has emphasized her individuality and interests outside of acting. When asked about teenage crushes, she surprised interviewers by admitting she rarely had any and instead spent her time sewing, a hobby she was deeply passionate about. Her candidness has drawn praise for its sincerity and authenticity.
In July 2014, Woodley appeared on the cover of Women’s Health magazine, showcasing her natural beauty and distinctive style. Wearing a fitted tankini, she drew attention for her glowing skin and effortless confidence. Her earthy aesthetic and healthy appearance have inspired many young fans, with her sun-kissed skin and toned physique becoming aspirational style elements among her admirers.
