Danica Patrick has bravely shared the most excruciating experience of her life—her breakup with NFL star Aaron Rodgers. In a candid chat on "The Sage Steele Show," she revealed how their "emotionally abusive" relationship left her feeling utterly depleted.
Reflecting on the abrupt end of their romance in July 2020 after two years together, Patrick stated, "It felt like it was my life. When you live with someone, that's your whole world. The nature of the relationship wore me down to nothing."
Diving deeper into the emotional toll, Patrick admitted, "People would never imagine I lack confidence, but everything fell apart. He leaves a trail of blood," alluding to the damage caused by their tumultuous relationship. Despite the pain, she emphasized that this experience ultimately gifted her one precious thing: a renewed sense of self.
Reaffirming her personal growth, Patrick noted, "It taught me how much I needed to show up for myself and take care of myself. I have no shame or regret about my journey."
Post-breakup, Rodgers quickly moved on, getting engaged to actress Shailene Woodley in February 2021, though they split just over a year later in April 2022. More recently, rumors have circulated about Rodgers dating a woman named Brittani, with reports of him wearing what looked like a wedding band.
Meanwhile, Patrick seems to have found new love as well; she was spotted kissing boyfriend Carter Comstock at the Burning Man festival last September after a nearly year-long romance.
