Danica Patrick reveals relationship status and gives rare insight into her dating life
Danica Patrick has given fans a rare glimpse into her personal life and admitted she is currently single in a revealing podcast appearance.
The ex-NASCAR star turned motorsports broadcaster has become a divisive figure in recent months following her public support for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, and she has now lifted the lid on her life away from the public eye.
Patrick, who previously dated NFL legend Aaron Rodgers and previously spoke about their 'emotionally abusive' relationship, has now revealed that there is currently no man on the scene.
Speaking to Haley Dillon, the wife of current NASCAR star Ty Dillon, she was asked 'Are you single right now?', to which she replied: 'Yeah'.
In response, Dillon joked she was 'interested to see who's sliding into my DMs to get to your DMs'.
In a later clip from the newest episode of the 'Believe In The Good' podcast, Patrick appeared to make a sexualized comment, joking 'that makes me screwed... so screwed... not literally, either.'
Patrick then revealed her two current life hacks, admitting she was prioritizing 'having more fun' and 'being grateful'.
She then added: 'It's so nice to not care so much about every little thing all the time. Like, who gives a s*** about the one practice or the one qualifying, or even the one race? There's so many of them.'
Earlier this week, Patrick, 43, opened up on her bedroom activity in a different podcast appearance with Dave Asprey.
In a conversation about biohacking, Patrick revealed a part of her life that gives her more energy.
'Orgasms,' she said, adding: 'That gives you energy as a woman.'
The former NASCAR star was previously in a high-profile relationship with then-Packers quarterback Rodgers, with the pair starting their dating life in January 2018.
At the end of 2019 they bought a home together in Malibu and spent the first few months of 2020 living together in the trendy California beach town.
However, their relationship didn't last much longer and they split in July 2020 after just over two years together.
But, talking about their relationship, Patrick sensationally claimed it was 'emotionally abusive' and the breakup was 'sudden'.
When asked to name the most painful experience of her life, Patrick said last month: 'The breakup with Aaron in 2020, because it was sudden. It felt like it was my life.

'So when you live with somebody, it's your whole life… and because the nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive, so that wore me down to nothing.
'Someone that you know, 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. He leaves a trail of blood.
'I don't think I'm saying too much earth-shattering stuff - there's been enough out there.
'But it gave me the greatest gift, which is myself. It gave me the greatest gift of how much I needed to show up for myself and take care of myself.'

EXCLUSIVE OnlyFans model Ari Kytsya reveals her true feelings about celebrity plastic surgery
OnlyFans model Ari Kytsya jokingly calls herself a 'bop' and a 'mattress actress' on TikTok, where she has amassed a whopping 4.4 million fans. It's not just men who are desperate to see her thirst traps, though. Instead, the Seattle-based content creator, born Ariel Danyluk, has gained millions of female followers who are far more interested in her makeup routine and relatable skits. Her female followers appreciate how Ari is open about loving the plastic surgery procedures she's had done, detailing everything from getting Botox and liposuction to her breast augmentation and nose job. But the internet fame can come with a price and some pushback - the model was forced to move after facing stalkers following a controversial OnlyFans collaboration. Now, Ari, 24, is opening up to the Daily Mail about why she believes fellow celebrities shouldn't lie about their plastic surgery procedures, how she really feels about her critics, and the sweet way she reconnected with her boyfriend, rapper Yung Gravy, 29. As Ari's following grew into the millions and young women started wishing they looked like her, the creator's response was, 'I don't even look like this.' 'Why hide it? There's not really a point,' Ari said about her plastic surgery and tweakments, which she posts about unabashedly. 'I never would want somebody to look at me and think "I wish I looked like that," because my past self wished that I looked the way that I do now,' Ari admitted. 'I paid money for it.' Ari is opening up to the Daily Mail about why she feels celebrities shouldn't lie about their plastic surgery procedures and how she connected with her boyfriend, rapper Yung Gravy While Ari feels like the adjustments she's made have mostly been small, the biggest change was her breast augmentation. 'Everything else was just very minor tweaking,' she divulged, adding that even her close friends and family didn't notice when she made certain changes. When it comes to other celebrities and influencers staying tight-lipped about their surgeries, Ari thinks while 'nobody owes anybody any information about their body,' lying is different - 'especially if it's somebody that a lot of younger girls are looking up to.' Ari would love to see other celebrities 'be open about it,' like Kardashian sister Kylie Jenner, who recently revealed her exact implant ask and doctor. 'Growing up, I looked up to her, and I knew that she had work done,' Ari admitted. Over the past few months, she's seen her ratio of male to female followers change as she's shared more beauty tips and less bikini pics. 'Before I had maybe 90% male, 10% women,' she said, revealing it's now more of a 60/40 split, but many of her male followers watch her entire makeup regimen. Ari came up with her now viral makeup routine after watching beauty tutorials every day after school from her favorite YouTube stars and then combining them all to fit her own needs. As for how she met her current beau, the 6 ft 8 in tall Yung Gravy, she admitted to sliding into his DMs five years ago after having a 'big crush on him.' Then, after some time spent with other love interests on both sides, the pair reconnected when Ari responded to an old, 'really sweet message.' At first they received pushback for their relationship, as many people thought it was a PR ploy. The rapper previously dated Addison Rae's mom Sheri Easterling, 45, which he now says was simply a way to give her some positive publicity amid a messy divorce. But in person, Ari and Yung Gravy seem loved up, with him chiming in to jokingly talk about some of Ari's past beauty mishaps, like microbladed eyebrows that went awry. She's no stranger to backlash, whether about her relationship or videos, and has dealt with stalkers and entire Reddit threads dedicated to deconstructing her videos in explicit detail. Despite the trolls, she doesn't stop posting. 'Every time I see something negative, I think about how sad I would have to be to take time out of my day... to make somebody else feel bad,' Ari said.

Gigi Hadid, 30, and Bradley Cooper, 50, have giddy FaceTime with huge A-list pal during loved-up outing
Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper couldn't have looked any happier as they enjoyed some quality time together in New York City on Monday - along with a famous friend. The couple FaceTimed Bradley's pal Will Arnett while out on a dinner date at Il Mulino. Bradley, 50, was absolutely beaming catching up with the Arrested Development star as Gigi, 30, doted over her boyfriend, caressing his cheek and tenderly placing her hand beside his neck. The A-list model even appeared to say hello to the comedian, 55, as Bradley seemingly included her in on the call. While the couple generally keep a low-profile since beginning a romance in 2023, they appeared more comfortable than ever with the PDA. Not only could Gigi hardly take her hands off Bradley during the call, the couple exuded relationship goals as they strolled down the street holding hands. As usual, the catwalk queen was working the latest trends from head-to-toe with a slick, side-parted hairstyle, a yellow maxi skirt teamed with a matching collared shirt, and leather jacket. She embraced the visible sock and loafer trend as well. Bradley kept it casual in a black button down, trousers, rugged trainers, and camouflage print hat. Perhaps Bradley and Will were were brainstorming about the new movie they are working on, Is This Thing On?, a comedy they were spotted filming earlier this year. The film stars Will and is directed by Bradley, who co-wrote the film with Arnett and Mark Chappell. The Hangover star also has a role in the movie. Not are the duo colleagues, they are also longtime friends and former neighbors. During an appearance last year on Arnett's podcast Smartless, Bradley revealed how the actor's straight talk early in his career helped him get clean and sober from cocaine and alcohol. Bradley shared with listeners that he met Will through his ex-wife Amy Poehler, whom he appeared with in Wet Hot American Summer in 2001. It was a dinner with Will where he made a fool of himself that made him realize how bad his addiction had gotten. 'I remember being at the dinner thinking I was so funny, and I thought, these two guys who are my heroes thought that I was so funny,' the actor, who is now sober, recalled. However he said Will didn't find his antics particularly funny. He remembered the 30 Rock actor telling him, "'You were a real a*****e,"' which was the straight talk he needed to realize the error of his ways. 'That was like the first time I ever realized I had a problem with drugs and alcohol,' he explained. 'It was Will saying that to me. And I'll just never forget it. I was like, "Oh the guy that I think is doing mean humor is telling me the truth about that."' Meanwhile, Gigi and Bradley have been going from strength to strength since late 2023. Last month Gigi finally made their relationship Instagram official as she shared snaps from her star-studded April birthday bash. She uploaded a roundup of images, and nestled into the post was a snapshot of her passionately kissing her beau. The beauty affectionately held his face in her manicured hands as they lip-locked behind her multi-tier chocolate birthday cake. 'I feel so lucky to be 30! I feel so lucky for every high and low- for all the lessons and gifts both have brought me. To get to feel it all!' she said at the start of her caption. The Guest in Residence designer subtly gave a nod to her romance as she continued, 'I'm so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!! 'So lucky for the support and encouragement from all of YOU around the world, every day and on my birthday last week.' Recently the mom-of-one recently gave some insight into their bond. Speaking to Vogue in March, she said being with the actor has helped to give her a 'normal experience of dating.' 'Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that's something that's so nice to bring back into my life,' she shared. 'You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard. Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people?' Hadid mused. She reflected, 'I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential, and then to find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve… and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be. 'I just feel really lucky. Yeah, lucky's the word.'

Canelo Alvarez to fight Terence Crawford in Las Vegas in September
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will take on Terence Crawford in a Las Vegas super-fight on September 13 – with UFC president Dana White announced as the bout's co-promoter. A September showdown had been pencilled in as the pair faced off following Alvarez's lacklustre points win over William Scull last month to retain his WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO super-middleweight titles. The date has now been firmed up, with former two-weight undisputed world champion Crawford, who has won all 41 professional contests, set to move up two divisions from light-middleweight to take on Alvarez. It has been dubbed the 'fight of the century' by chairman of Saudi Arabia's general entertainment authority Turki Alalshikh, who will promote the clash in collaboration with White. 'Turki wants to make the biggest fights that the fans want to see in boxing and this is right up my alley,' said White of a bout that is expected to land at the 65,000-seater Allegiant Stadium. 'Are you kidding me that the first boxing fight I'm going to get to promote is Canelo vs Crawford? It's literally a once in a lifetime fight.' It was also announced that Alvarez-Crawford will be broadcast globally by Netflix at no additional cost to its 300 million-plus subscribers. 'My perfect record speaks for itself,' Crawford said. 'I am the best fighter in the world and no matter the opponent or weight class, I have always come out on top. 'On September 13, my hand will be raised once again as the world watches greatness.' Alvarez, who has won 63 and drawn two of his 67 bouts in the paid ranks and been undisputed at 168lbs since 2021, said: 'I'm ready to show once again that I am the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.'
