Danica Patrick Announces Relationship Status After Aaron Rodgers Claims
Danica Patrick left no doubt about her relationship status during a recent podcast interview. Patrick, 43, has largely kept quiet about her current dating life, though she did have plenty to say last month about her past high-profile relationship with NFL star Aaron Rodgers. In a new appearance on the "Believe in the Good" podcast with Haley Dillon, the wife of NASCAR driver Ty Dillon, Patrick confirmed she is unattached when Dillon asked about her personal life. 'Are you single right now?' Dillon asked, to which Patrick replied, 'Yeah.' "I'm going to be interested to see who's sliding into my DMs to get to your DMs," Dillon joked as Patrick laughed. Patrick has been in several relationships with public figures, both during and after her days as a competitive race car driver. She was married to Paul Edward Hospenthal from 2005 until their divorce in 2013. Patrick also dated NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. from 2012-17 and Rodgers from 2018-20. During an appearance on 'The Sage Steele Show" in May, Patrick raised eyebrows when she accused the four-time NFL MVP of being "emotionally abusive." 'Because it was sudden, it felt like. It was my life. So like when you live with somebody, it's your whole life,' Patrick said. 'And because the nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive, so that wore me down to nothing.' Patrick went on to claim Rodgers "leaves a trail of blood" and appeared to make reference to his much-publicized NFL exits from the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets. 'People could never imagine that I would lack … any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am. Everything was torn to bits,' Patrick added, via People. 'Yeah, he leaves a trail of blood. I don't think I'm saying too much earth-shattering stuff after we — there's been enough out there." Following her breakup with Rodgers, Patrick was in a relationship with American businessman Carter Comstock from 2021 to 2022.

Aaron Rodgers makes big announcement during first day with the Steelers
After photos of Aaron Rodgers wearing a ring on his left hand caused speculation that the NFL quarterback is married, the 41-year-old responded to the rumors. During a news conference following his first official day with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rodgers was asked about the ring on his left ring finger. Rodgers, seemingly reluctantly, confirmed to the reporter that 'it's a wedding ring.' After being congratulated, the quarterback was asked 'how long' he's been married. 'A couple months ago,' Rodgers responded. In years past, Rodgers has been publicly and romantically linked to actress Olivia Munn, NASCAR driver Danica Patrick and actress Shailene Woodley. In his Netflix series, 'Aaron Rodgers: Enigma,' the quarterback commented on those high-profile relationships, saying he 'didn't do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated after that that were in the public eye.' As a result, Rodgers has been somewhat tight-lipped about his current relationship. While a guest on 'The Pat McAfee Show' in April, Rodgers revealed that he was in a serious relationship but did not share who he was dating. 'I'm in a different phase of my life,' Rodgers told McAfee. 'I'm 41 years old. I'm in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention. I have personal commitments not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year that are important to me.'

Denny Hamlin could miss first NASCAR Cup race in Mexico for birth of third child
Denny Hamlin could miss first NASCAR Cup race in Mexico for birth of third child Show Caption Hide Caption Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s take on lawsuit between Michael Jordan and NASCAR Dale Earnhardt Jr. says despite the lawsuit between Michael Jordan and NASCAR, He believes NASCAR is better off with Michael Jordan as part of the sport. Denny Hamlin celebrated his third NASCAR Cup Series victory of the season on June 8 at Michigan International Speedway, and now he awaits a celebration of a different kind: the birth of his third child. Hamlin's fiancée, Jordan Fish, is due to deliver any day now, putting the driver's travel plans in flux for the Cup Series' first ever race in Mexico. In a recent interview, Hamlin said he would be willing to miss a race or even multiple ones to be there for his Fish and his new baby, prioritizing his family over racing. Drivers need to depart for Mexico City on Thursday, June 12 with practice for the Viva Mexico 250 beginning the next day ahead of the Sunday, June 15 Cup race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. HAMLIN: Wins NASCAR race at Michigan, taunts crowd with OSU chant During a June 10 interview on SiriusXM NASCAR, Hamlin said the distance between his home in North Carolina and Mexico City played a significant role in this decision. "It's one thing when you're in Michigan; you're an hour and a half flight away. There's no customs. I fly right into the airport. It's just not that in Mexico,' Hamlin said. Hamlin is fresh off a victory at the Firekeepers casino 400 and currently sits in third place in the NASCAR Cup Series standings with three wins, seven top-five finishes and eight top 10s. Here's how his absence could affect his shot at his first championship: Denny Hamlin just joined us On Track and said if Jordan doesn't deliver their baby boy by the time he has to leave for Mexico City he's not going. Said his priority is her and the delivery of their 3rd child. Drivers will leave Thursday so interesting to follow 'baby watch' and… — Danielle Trotta (@DanielleTrotta) June 10, 2025 Would Hamlin's absence affect his chance at NASCAR Cup Series title? Fortunately, Hamlin has already secured his spot in the 10-race Cup Series playoffs with his three wins this season. Furthermore, thanks to the NASCAR Playoff Waiver System, which classifies the birth of a child as an exemption, Hamlin would not lose playoff eligibility or points. Hamlin has 57 wins in his Cup Series career, which ranks 11th on the all-time list. While a championship has eluded him, he finished runner-up in 2010 and third three times (2006, 2014 and 2021). NASCAR IN-SEASON CHALLENGE: What you need to know about the new tournament How would Hamlin's absence affect the NASCAR in-season challenge? NASCAR is introducing its first ever individual in-season challenge this year, and the method to seed the drivers has already begun. The in-season challenge begins with the June 28 race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but results at the three prior races – June 8 at Michigan, June 15 at Mexico City and June 22 at Pocono Raceway – will determine the seedings for the 32-driver bracket. There in-season challenge is a single-elimination tournament, which will take place over five consecutive races, beginning in late June. Similar to NCAA tournaments, including college basketball's March Madness, each driver will be seeded against an opponent, and the one with the best finish will advance. It is unclear yet, how a missed race would affect the bracket – either in the three races leading up to the tournament or the NASCAR in-season challenge itself. Who would fill in for Hamlin in Mexico City? Should Hamlin miss this weekend's race, it's unclear who would fill-in for him in the No. 11. Fans would certainly like to see 23XI Racing prospect Corey Heim, but more likely is Ryan Treux, who has served as the full-time reserve race for Joe Gibbs Racing for some time.
