It's over between Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley -- the power couple has called off their engagement after less than 2 years together.

The 38-year-old NFL MVP and actress, 30, have reportedly ended things for good ... months after they were rumored to have split

The couple started seeing each other shortly after the quarterback's split from racing superstar Danica Patrick in July 2020 ... and their engagement was announced in Feb. 2021.

Rodgers credited the personal update with being one of the biggest highlights of his year.

Rodgers and Woodley were inseparable for months ... packing on PDA during trips to Disneyland and Mexico.

Things got so serious between the two, Rodgers said in an interview in March 2021 he was looking forward to parenthood with Woodley.

"I just think it'd be so fun," Rodgers said at the time. "I've dreamt about what that would be like and I'm really excited about that chapter whenever that comes."

Woodley was nothing but supportive of Rodgers as he faced criticism during his COVID-19 vaccine drama back in November ... but talks of a split escalated back in December.

Longtime Dallas Cowboys exec Rich Dalrymple is adamant he did not film cheerleaders who were changing in a stadium locker room back in 2015 ... this despite multiple women alleging he did.

Dalrymple released a statement this week saying reports that he pulled out his phone and photographed women while they were changing at AT&T Stadium nearly seven years ago were flat-out not true.

"People who know me, co-workers, the media and colleagues, know who I am and what I'm about," Dalrymple said. "I understand the very serious nature of these claims and do not take them lightly. The accusations are, however, false."

ESPN broke the story Wednesday ... reporting that multiple women had accused Dalrymple of the disturbing act.

The women said it happened during a Kickoff Luncheon on Sept. 2, 2015 ... claiming the Cowboys exec used a keycard to gain access to their changing area and then began recording on his phone.

One woman who claimed she was in the locker room at the time allegedly said, according to ESPN, that she ran toward Dalrymple and chased him off.

ESPN also reported that Dalrymple had been accused of inappropriately filming Jerry Jones' daughter, Charlotte Jones Anderson, inside of the Cowboys' NFL Draft war room in 2015.

Regarding that accusation, ESPN reported that a viewer said he had seen Dalrymple on a live stream pointing his phone at Charlotte, a Cowboys' senior vice president.

The Cowboys, though, released a statement to ESPN saying it investigated all of the claims against Dalrymple "thoroughly" ... but "found no evidence of wrongdoing."

In his statement this week, Dalrymple said the incident with Charlotte "simply did not happen."

He added, "Everything that was alleged was thoroughly investigated years ago, and I cooperated fully."

Still, ESPN reported Wednesday that Dalrymple was issued "a formal written warning in October 2015." The outlet also reported that the team "paid a confidential settlement of $2.4 million" following the cheerleaders' claims.

Dalrymple retired earlier this month after working for the team for many years, but told ESPN his departure had nothing to do with the allegations.

People are trying to turn the Hollywood sign into an homage to the Rams to celebrate their Super Bowl win -- but at this rate ... it might just stay a jumbled mess come showtime.

If you look over yonder toward Griffith Park, you'll undoubtedly see what's going on there in the hills -- something looks off about the lettering on our famed sign, and that's because volunteers are out there scrambling to make it read "RAMS HOUSE" ... and in a hurry.

As you see, they're not even nearing completion ... and it's less than 24 hours before the Super Bowl parade is due to hit the streets with the team in tow. At the moment, it looks more like RALLYOUSE -- which is close, but no cigar ... and the clock is ticking.

On top of the unfinished business, there are folks in the area who are complaining about the eyesore before them ... not to mention all the racket from the bodies on the ground, which all started Monday AM.

Of course, there's also a lot of ridicule to go around here ... as many are joking that the pranksters who once turned HOLLYWOOD into HOLLYWEED did a far better job than the L.A. bureaucrats are doing now ... and way faster too, no less!

Indeed, this work is sanctioned by the City of L.A., in partnership with the Rams and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. But, considering how choppy things are moving, they might wanna bust out the spray paint and go full vandalism to meet their deadline. 😅

Tina Tintor and her dog have been memorialized with a mural in Las Vegas ... three months after they tragically died there in a car crash involving former NFL star Henry Ruggs.

The art was just painted on a wall near the wreck site -- showing a depiction of Tina and her Golden Retriever, Max, smiling in front of a blue background.

The artist painted both of their names in pink lettering above their pictures ... and added, "In loving memory."

In front of the art -- which sits on the corner of the intersection near where the two were hit by Ruggs' Corvette on Nov. 2 -- family, friends and supporters have continued to leave photographs, candles and flowers.

Tintor's uncle told KLAS in Vegas that he organized the painting of the mural following Tina's death.

As we previously reported, investigators say Tintor burned to death after officials say Ruggs was speeding with a .161 BAC before he rammed his sportscar into the back of her RAV4.

She was just 23 years old.

It's been nearly 7 years since the Houston Texans' season on "Hard Knocks" ... and J.J. Watt's infamous "Remember the Name" rap montage is still getting roasted -- this time, by the NFL star himself!!

In case you missed the hilariously cringe moment, Watt was videoed getting in a tough workout while HBO cameras were rolling during training camp in 2015 ... when he decided to rap along to the Fort Minor tune.

The scene has taken new life over the years ... with fans poking fun at Watt for his rap skills and how over-the-top it was.

Now, Watt is finally addressing the scene ... saying, "You ever sing a song in the car and you think it sounds great and then you try and break it out at karaoke that night and it just doesn't quite hit the same??"

Watt then cuts to the clip ... clearly showing embarrassment over it.

"Yeah ... me too."

Matthew Stafford's wife, Kelly, just went in on everyone who's giving their opinion on the quarterback's Hall of Fame status ... clapping back at the doubters and saying the signal-caller is nowhere near done yet.

Following the Rams star's big win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday -- the debate was on ... is Stafford a Hall of Famer or not?

Some said yes ... but the majority -- including future Hall of Famer Richard Sherman -- appeared to say no, and Kelly had big issues with that talk.

Stafford's wife took to Instagram late Tuesday evening to blast the discussion ... saying, "We shouldn't be talking about the HOF because he isn't done playing this game."

She added, though, if you don't currently think he belongs in the Hall -- she said he's going to prove you wrong in the upcoming seasons.

"So let's table this talk until he actually retires," she said. "Thank you."

For what it's worth, the talk of Stafford's potential Canton bust was brought up even before the win in the Big Game, with Torry Holt telling TMZ Sports he didn't believe Stafford was on his way to the Hall just yet.

Seems Kelly could truly care less -- saying in her post she's confident Matthew will change minds eventually.

The hilarious feud between Usain Bolt and Tyreek Hill is nowhere near dead yet ... the legendary sprinter clowned the NFL player on Sunday, laughing about his effort in a race at the Pro Bowl.

Bolt threw the jabs as he was leaving the Super Bowl on Sunday ... telling TMZ Sports he doesn't want to race Hill after he saw the Kansas City Chiefs star drop a sprint to Dallas Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons.

"He's not ready," Bolt said of Hill. "He got beaten by some linebacker! He ain't ready for this!"

Bolt was giggling as he tossed out the barbs -- and said after watching Tyreek in the Vegas race he's still sublimely confident he'd dust Hill on the track.

"I'm the fastest man in the world," Bolt said. "What do you mean?!"

If you missed it, Hill and Bolt have been trading words about a possible race for months -- with Hill telling us back in November he's so sure he'd beat Bolt, he's willing to put his Super Bowl ring on the line.

Bolt, though, clearly doesn't seem to think Hill is even deserving of his time ... telling us outside of SoFi Stadium the receiver -- and any other NFL player who thinks they're fast -- needs to get "serious" and then call him.

Adrian Peterson's wife is defending the NFL star in the wake of his domestic violence arrest ... saying "at no point" did he hit her.

We broke the story, Peterson was thrown in jail on Sunday after he allegedly got physical with his wife, Ashley, during an argument on a plane at LAX.

Our sources say Peterson was taken into custody after Ashley was seen to have sustained a small mark on her following the alleged altercation.

Ashley, though, posted on her Instagram on Tuesday that Peterson never got physical with her ... saying, "At no point did Adrian hit or strike me."

"Adrian and I had a verbal argument," she added. "Unfortunately, it was on an airplane."

She continued, "This is a private matter between my husband and myself. We ask that everyone respect our privacy so we can focus on what matters most: our children."

For his part, Peterson -- who was booked on a charge of felony domestic violence -- has also denied hitting Ashley ... telling FOX 26 Sports this week that the mark on Ashley was the result of him taking a ring off her finger during their argument.

"Literally that's why I went to jail," Peterson said. "Because the ring left a scratch on her finger."

Peterson added, "We just had a disagreement."

Prince Harry got some serious MVP treatment from the L.A. Rams following the team's Super Bowl victory ... even getting to touch the sport's most coveted prize.

The official Rams account just posted these photos of the Duke of Sussex getting an up-close-and-personal look at the Lombardi Trophy after L.A. won the game. The attached caption ... “Feelin’ like royalty.”

In the pics, you see Harry in the Rams locker room, checking out the hardware alongside team owner Stan Kroenke and others, while laughing it up ... sans any face coverings.

We should say, however, while seated in the stands with his cousin, Princess Eugenie, he was indeed wearing a mask. But it seems like when he was behind the scenes and undetected, or so he thought, he ditched the cloth as well ... like countless others were already doing.

Like we told you ... as it stands, the rule in L.A. County is that everyone is supposed to mask up indoors ... even though California at large has already lifted the mandate. Despite this, a good majority of folks at the game -- famous or not -- didn’t give a hoot ... and enjoyed themselves with their mugs set free.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said goodbye to John Madden one last time on Monday night ... with an emotional speech at the NFL legend's memorial in Oakland.

Reid was one of many guest speakers who delivered final words at the Madden celebration of life event at RingCentral Coliseum ... and his speech was heartfelt.

Reid spoke about meeting John decades ago and all of the lessons he learned from the former Raiders head coach -- saying they helped shape him into the NFL headman he is today.

Reid concluded his speech by verbally painting a picture of Madden in heaven.

"We love you, Coach," he said at the end of it all.

Other notable guests who spoke at the event included Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera and former San Francisco 49ers head coach Steve Mariucci.

As we reported, Madden passed away unexpectedly at the age of 85 in December.

John was a beloved figure in the NFL -- becoming a brilliant head coach, then broadcaster and then eventually the face of the most popular football video game on the planet.

A funeral and a private mass were already held for Madden several weeks ago.

Simone Biles is officially engaged ... her boyfriend, Houston Texans safety Jonathan Owens, proposed to her on Valentine's Day -- and she said yes!!

Owens just posted pictures of the big moment, saying Biles "really had no clue what was coming."

The football player also shared a video and pics of the ring he used to ask the question with -- and it's spectacular.

In the pics, you can see Biles was thrilled over it all, smiling ear-to-ear and showing off her new diamond-clad hand.

Biles also commented on it all, saying it was "THE EASIEST YES."

"I can’t wait to spend forever & ever with you," she said, "you’re everything I dreamed of and more! let’s get married FIANCÉ."

Biles and Owens began dating in 2020 and have been inseparable ever since. Owens was super supportive of her during her low moments at the Olympics, and Biles has been spotted regularly at his football practices and games over the past couple years.

Congrats!!

Rams big DT A'Shawn Robinson -- who wreaked havoc against the Bengals -- tells TMZ Sports he still can't believe he's a Super Bowl champion ... and the pure joy on his face is pretty awesome.

We talked to the 26-year-old Ram Monday afternoon, less than 24 hours after securing the SB victory.

"I was telling my friends. I don't know if it hit me. I just keep saying it's crazy. I don't even know how to explain this to people," Robinson says while trying to describe his emotions.

"It's hard to explain. I'm in the history books forever. My family. My great-grandkids will forever see this. Von called this football heaven, now I know why."

Robinson -- a 2nd round draft pick out of Alabama in 2016 -- was great Sunday ... racking up 6 tackles and a sack. A'Shawn was a nuisance to Burrow and the Bengals' run game all day.

"We knew it was gonna be on our shoulders and we had to finish. Me and AD talk about it all the time. Just talk about finishing. I'm glad I could get one for [Donald]."

Speaking of the future first-ballot Hall of Famer ... we also asked Robinson whether his D-line counterpart could retire ... something AD mentioned to the broadcast crew before Sunday's game.

"I don't know if he's gonna retire or not. But, he's done everything statistically. He's done everything. I don't know. I hope not. We can run it back again next year," A'Shawn says.

Is Rob Gronkowski's football career over? If it were up to his girlfriend, it certainly wouldn't be.

TMZ Sports spoke with Camille Kostek in Los Angeles over the weekend ... and she told us straight up she's not ready to see Gronk retire just yet.

"I would love to watch him play football some more," said Kostek, who's been dating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end for years. "He knows that. I tell him."

Kostek, though, said she's not necessarily pushing him to play another season ... explaining she'll support her boyfriend either way.

As for which way the 32-year-old is leaning right now, Kostek said she isn't even sure ... telling us she believes it'll all come down to how he's feeling physically.

"He retired when he wasn't feeling right," Kostek said. "And he came back when he felt good. So, it's really going to be, truly, like a gametime decision."

Gronk -- who is a free agent -- told us just a couple weeks ago that if he had to make a January decision, he would have chosen retirement. But the star football player doesn't have to make the choice for at least another few months.

Two disruptive fans stormed the field and got laid out by security during the third quarter of the Super Bowl -- and it was all captured on video.

The pics and vids from the incident show one man dressed in all black was able to sprint almost the entire length of the field ... but eventually, security was able to track him down.

The guy even came in close quarters with some of the Rams players ... but fortunately, none of them were affected by the ordeal.

He wasn't alone, though -- a second fan wearing a gray hoodie and red shorts also decided to "crash" the Super Bowl, too ... with a similar result.

Ultimately, both individuals were snagged and escorted off the field ... so they missed the conclusion of a thriller in the fourth quarter.

Streakers and field rushers have somehow managed to land on the field over the past few years ... with many doing it as a publicity stunt.

No word on the motive for these two new streakers ... but chances are they'll be banned from ever pulling it off again.

Whose house?!?!

The iconic Hollywood sign in Los Angeles will no longer read "Hollywood" -- at least for the next few days ... L.A. officials are in the process of changing the letters to "Rams House" after the Rams' Super Bowl win on Sunday.

L.A. mayor Eric Garcetti said following the Rams' big victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that the makeover would take place ... and on Monday, workers set up shop near the sign to implement the change.

As of Monday around noon, only the "R" and the "A" were up, but officials said they expected the project to be finished by Monday evening and remain through Wednesday.

As for why "Rams House" ... if you're unfamiliar, the Rams have chosen to go with a "Whose House?!? Rams House!" battle cry ever since moving to Los Angeles a few years ago.

"This town has the best teams and fans in the world," Garcetti said of the signage change, "and we can’t wait to show off our L.A. pride with a display that only Hollywood could deliver."

Tom Brady is giving a special shoutout to Gisele Bündchen on Valentine's Day ... by praising his wife and giving her a unique gift.

The 7-time Super Bowl Champ posted a sentimental note to Gisele on Instagram ... expressing his love for her on Monday.

"Happy valentines day Lovvvey ... Te amo muito 💚💚💚," Brady wrote ... while sharing a pic kissing her on the cheek.

A romantic post wasn't all TB12 did for his wife of 13 years -- the former Bucs QB (that sounds weird) also gave Gisele a chance to plant her own trees with help from Plant A Billion Trees.

Gisele responded ... "Happy Valentines day hubby! Hope you like your gift. Let’s grow some love and make the world greener!"

Of course, Gisele has long been advocating for her hubby to hang up his cleats and walk away from the sport of football.

She finally got her wish ... as the G.O.A.T. retired after 22 seasons and 7 Super Bowl rings.

The power couple was most recently spotted in Costa Rica ... where they have their annual beach vacation -- and the two looked extremely happy.

With Tom gone from the NFL -- at least for now, it seems -- the couple will have a lot more time together to share all the kisses.
