Shailene Woodley Claims She’s Not Dating Fellow ‘Fault In Our Stars’ Actor Ansel Elgort

It’s been awhile since the release of The Fault in Our Stars, the film based on the young adult novel by John Green of the same name. But fans of The Fault in Our Stars are still talking about the story and probably will be for some time. The latest rumor about The Fault in Our Stars was that lead actress Shailene Woodley was dating her co-star from The Fault in Our Stars film, heartthrob Ansel Elgort.

Woodley put those rumors to rest, according to Just Jared. She spoke about her relationship to The Fault in Our Stars’ leading man at The Contenders online stage discussion held by Deadline. The event took place at the DGA Theater this past Saturday in Los Angeles. While there, Woodley answered a range of questions about her career and The Fault in Our Stars. According to the Daily Mail, there was some talk about Shailene possibly being considered for an award for her portrayal of Hazel in The Fault in Our Stars, but the juiciest question came when Woodley was asked if there was anything romantic going on between her and Ansel Elgort.

Shailene had a very quick response to the question, crushing the rumor and possibly the dreams of certain The Fault in Our Stars fans who long for Woodley and Elgort to get together in real life.

“We went from brother and sister to lovers and now we’re back in the brother-sister game,” Shailene said.

The 22-year-old actress is referring to hers and Ansel’s role in the Divergent series, wherein they played brother and sister. Now that The Fault in Our Stars is behind them, the actors are filming the second installment of the Divergent series, Insurgent, which has them playing siblings again. They had a brief opportunity to be lovers for The Fault in Our Stars, but Shailene made it perfectly clear it was all pretend.

It’s not surprising that the Fault in Our Stars actors aren’t an item since they’ve been in the news lately for their own private relationships. Earlier this year there was the announcement that Woodley was dating Ellen Page. Meanwhile, Ansel Elgort recently broke up with his high school sweetheart.

The Fault in Our Stars, the story of two teenage cancer patients who fall in love, recently came to DVD and Blu-ray. Author John Green is already involved with another Hollywood adaptation of one of his novels, Paper Towns. After the success of The Fault in Our Stars, Green could see the big screen version of all of his novels.
