Shailene Woodley gets intimate with new boyfriend in Auckland

Actress Shailene Woodley has teased her followers about her boyfriend by posting pictures of them on social media but without showing his face or tagging his account. Recently, the actress was seen with her boyfriend, who was revealed to be rugby player Ben Volavola. The pair was spotted kissing and displaying affectionate gestures in public.

The couple was spotted outside a café in Auckland, New Zealand, on Saturday. It was clear that the two were in love and could not keep their hands off one another. The pair was seen putting their arms around each other. The 25-year-old "Big Little Lies" actress was wearing an oversized scarf, a red tank top, and jeans, while her boyfriend was in a black shirt and backwards baseball cap.

Interestingly, Woodley actually predicted a few years ago that she would fall in love in Australia. "I have zero expectations and zero rules. I'm open," she told InStyle magazine back in 2014. "I can't see it being another actor, except that they understand this lifestyle. Hey, I could fall in love with an Aussie and move to Australia. Who knows?"

While the couple actually met in Fiji, the actress came pretty close. They met while Woodley was filming her upcoming film titled "Adrift," which is set to be released next year. Volavola is a 26-year-old Australian-born Fijian international rugby union player who plays for the Australian team Melbourne Rebels.

In the past, the "Divergent" star has been very vocal about the difficulty of finding someone to be in a relationship with. "I fall in love constantly!" she said during another interview in 2016. "But finding someone to share my life with—it's more difficult to fill those shoes. I'm very curious to see where my life ends up when it comes to partnership.

Volavola previously dated photographer, Jacqueline Wieser, while Woodley was formerly linked to singer Nahko Bear.
