• Actress Shailene Woodley took to Instagram to confirm that she's dating rugby player Ben Volavola.
• Woodley and Volavola attended Paris Fashion Week, and Woodley posted several photos on her Instagram story that confirmed their relationship. 
• One photo shows Woodley with her arms around Volavola and the words "this date tho...," while another shows them kissing.
• The couple was seen in public together in October 2017, and Woodley has dropped some hints in previous Instagram photos, but this is the first time she's made the relationship clear. 

For months, there has been speculation that Shailene Woodley was dating rugby player Ben Volavola, and now the "Big Little Lies" star is making the relationship Instagram official.

Woodley was in Europe for Paris Fashion Week and brought Volavola along as her date to one of the shows. Her Instagram story was filled with photos that showed models walking at the Valentino Haute Couture Spring Summer 2018 presentation, but her photos with Volavola were the most noteworthy. 

In one photo, Woodley is seen at the fashion show standing next to Volavola with her arms around him.

In another photo of the couple kissing, Woodley made their status obvious for any disbelievers or skeptics.

Woodley concluded by sharing a photo of Volavola, visibly exhausted from a day of fashion festivities. 

Woodley and Volavola were first spotted together in public in October 2017. Woodley was also photographed in New Zealand watching Volavola participate in a semifinal rugby match. Around the same time, Woodley also posted photos on her Instagram account that hinted at the relationship. 

One post showed Woodley holding hands with another person, but their faces were carefully excluded from the photo.

An additional photo showed Woodley and another person enjoying a scenic view.

Needless to say, when Woodley finally shared photos that included her and Volavola's entire bodies, it put an end to the guessing games.
