Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick has opened up about her breakup with NFL star Aaron Rodgers, describing the end of their two‑year relationship as one of the most painful experiences of her life.
Speaking in 2020, Patrick said the split was sudden and emotionally abusive, leaving her drained and stripped of confidence.
Patrick, who retired from racing in 2018 after becoming the only woman to win an IndyCar Series race, began dating Rodgers in early 2018. The couple lived together before parting ways in July 2020.
Reflecting on the aftermath, she admitted that even simple aspects of her identity felt shattered, saying Rodgers “leaves a trail of blood.”
Rodgers has not responded to her remarks. The quarterback, who spent 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers before joining the New York Jets in 2023, missed most of his debut season due to an Achilles injury. Meanwhile, Rodgers has recently made headlines for reconciling with his parents, Ed and Darla, after nearly a decade of estrangement.
Journalist Ian O’Connor noted that the healing began with Rodgers inviting them to his Pleasant Valley High School Hall of Fame induction in April, followed by a public embrace with his father at a celebrity golf tournament.
