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.'

Kim Kardashian accidentally reveals something very strange inside her $60M mansion
Kim Kardashian shared several new images to Instagram on Sunday that were taken inside her $60M Hidden Hills, California mansion. The ex-wife of Kanye West had on no makeup as she tried on new SKIMS designs. 'Love finding closet pics in my phone,' the The Kardashians star wrote in her caption. The snaps looked benign at first, but on closer inspection, one single portrait stood out. But it was not because of what Kim looked like, but rather what her surroundings were like. In one of the photos the 44-year-old reality TV star accidentally revealed a strange thing in a bathroom as she wore a NY Yankees cap and had on a tank top with sweatpants. It was behind her as the mother-of-four was being tended to by a tattooed stylist wit fingerless gloves on. Can you tell what it is? Hint, it is on the left. It's a very large window inside her shower. That means that when the law school graduate strips off her clothing to wash up in the shower, the outside world can see her nude form. The window hits at the hip level, so plenty could be seen. Smarty, there is a tree outside her window which can keep prying eyes out as long as a drone doesn't fly by. It also helps that she has a gated property with plenty of security to keep anyone from looking into her shower. Still, most people would not have been comfortable with a window in a shower that has no drapes or blinds. There doesn't seem to be a tint on the window either, though knowing Kim, she may be able to hit a button that makes the window turn foggy. Even with the large window, the bathroom is a dream as it is large and a nice neutral tone. In the past, Kim has been knocked for the sink-free island in her bathroom. Years ago she shared a photo of the island and fans flipped that there was a faucet but no sink. Turns out there is a sink on the island but because the tone is a nude color, it was hard to see any depth. There is also a large bathtub and a huge mirror in her bathroom. These photos have been shared after Kim had a dramatic May that forced her to show up at the Paris robbery trial. Kardashian said she 'will never forget what happened' to her during the Paris robbery. After eight people were found guilty by a Paris court of crimes connected to the gunpoint robbery of Kim in 2016, she said she is 'deeply grateful to the French authorities for pursuing justice in this case'. Kim added in a statement to PEOPLE: 'The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family. While I'll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system.' Her attorneys Michael Rhodes, Léonor Hennerick and Jonathan Mattou added in their own statement that Kim 'appreciates the Court's decision and once again thanks the French authorities for treating her with great respect throughout the process'. They went on: 'It has been a long journey from that terrible night back in 2016 to her standing courageously in a historic Paris courtroom to confront these criminals. It is also hard to tell what this silver box is between two pairs of gladiator heels Kim sat for this portrait as she wore a suede jacket and long skirt 'She looks forward to putting this tragic episode behind her, as she continues working to improve the criminal justice system on behalf of victims, the innocent, and the incarcerated seeking to redeem themselves.' The eight suspects who were found guilty will all walk free due to the fact that they have served time previously. According to CNN, Judge David De Pas called the sentences 'quite lenient'.

Did you solve it? The deductive decade – ten years of Monday puzzzles
To celebrate ten years of this column, this morning I selected ten puzzles from the Monday Puzzle archives. Here they are again with solutions. Click on the solutions to be taken to the original columns, which have full explanations. 1. Bat and ball Three friends (A, B and C) are playing ping pong. They play the usual way: the winner stays on, and the loser waits their turn again. At the end of the day, they summarise the number of games that each of them played: A played 10 B played 15 C played 17. Who lost the second game? Solution A 2. Tricky trams Why are the tram's overhead cables positioned to make a zigzag, rather than straight line? Solution The metal structure on the roof of the tram, the pantograph, rubs against the cable as the tram moves forward. If the cable was in a straight line, it would rub the same point on the pantograph, which would begin to fray. But if the cable is in a zigzag, the rubbing happens evenly across the top of the pantograph, and the pantograph wears down less quickly. 3. Read the question 3. What is never odd or even? Solution 'never odd or even' is a palindrome, i.e. it reads the same back to front. 4. Catch the cat A straight corridor has 7 doors along one side. Behind one of the doors sits a cat. Your mission is to find the cat by opening the correct door. Each day you can open only one door. If the cat is there, you win. If the cat is not there, the door closes, and you must wait until the next day before you can open a door again. If the cat was always to sit behind the same door, you would be able to find it in at most seven days, by opening each door in turn. But this mischievous moggy is restless. Every night it moves randomly either one door to the left or one to the right. Although if it is behind the first or last door, it has only one option for where it can move. How many days do you now need to make sure you can catch the cat? Solution ten days 5. Mystery number I have a ten digit number, abcdefghij. Each of the digits is different, and a is divisible by 1 ab is divisible by 2 abc is divisible by 3 abcd is divisible by 4 abcde is divisible by 5 abcdef is divisible by 6 abcdefg is divisible by 7 abcdefgh is divisible by 8 abcdefghi is divisible by 9 abcdefghij is divisible by 10 What's my number? [To clarify: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, and j are all single digits. Each digit from 0 to 9 is represented by exactly one letter. The number abcdefghij is a ten-digit number whose first digit is a, second digit is b, and so on. It does not mean that you multiply a x b x c x…] Solution 3816547290 6. Disappearing cub This picture has not been doctored. Explain why the reflection has a yellow lion cub. Solution: The cub is camouflaged by a cleverly-coloured flap 7. Crazy triangle Show that there is a triangle, the sum of whose three heights is less than 1mm, that has an area greater than the surface of the Earth (510m km2). Solution Here's one: 8. Deck dilemma Your friend chooses at random a card from a standard deck of 52 cards, and keeps this card concealed. You have to guess which of the 52 cards it is. Before your guess, you can ask your friend one of the following three questions: is the card red? is the card a face card? (Jack, Queen or King) is the card the ace of spades? Your friend will answer truthfully. What question would you ask that gives you the best chance of guessing the correct card? Solution It doesn't matter. In all three cases, your chance of guessing the correct card is 1 in 26. 9. The question with no question (a) All of the following. (b) None of the following. (c) Some of the following. (d) All of the above. (e) None of the above. [Just to reassure you, nothing has been omitted here.] Solution (b) 10. Triangle fold Find a way to fold a square piece of paper into an equilateral triangle. The triangle can be of any size. Solution Here is one way, that uses the side length of the square as the side length of the triangle. I hope you enjoyed these puzzles. I'll be back in two weeks. Sources: 1. Adrian Paenza, 2.

Ivanka Trump divides internet with UFC appearance alongside dad Donald as she flaunts her incredibly thin fame
Ivanka Trump divided the internet after spending the evening with her father, Donald Trump, at a UFC match. On Saturday night, the first daughter, 43, and her family joined the president cage-side to enjoy the fight. Ivanka flaunted her incredibly thin frame for the outing, donning a long, tight white dress and white strappy sandals. The gown was strapless but had sleeves down her arms, which drew attention to her skinny shoulders. In a post shared to X afterwards, Ivanka uploaded an array pictures from the evening out - and many people had mixed feelings about her presence at the event. While dozens of people complimented her elegance and beauty, others weren't pleased with her attendance. 'Ivanka, you were absolutely stunning last night!' one user wrote. 'A huge thank you to the UFC fighters and champions for showing the love and respect we all share for you, President Trump!' Ivanka flaunted her incredibly thin frame for the outing, donning a long, tight white dress and white strappy sandals 'Nice to see you back alongside your father,' another said. 'Beautiful,' a third comment simply read. 'You're one of the world's most attractive women!' someone else penned. Another wrote: 'What an amazing night. Congrats Ivanka, you look amazing, good to see you.' However, not everyone was pleased to see the president and first daughter at the fight. Some even slammed her outfit choice, with one writing, 'You dress like you are going to prom. It's a UFC fight.' 'You're not going to ruin these vibes. I don't care who your dad is Ivanka,' another comment said. Ivanka also posted some adorable family snaps to her Instagram before heading to the fights. She posed alongside her husband Jared Kushner, 44, and their kids Arabella Rose, 13, and Joseph Frederick, 11. The family smiled ear-to-ear as they stood together in front of a white wall. 'Ivanka, you look extra gorgeous in these photos!' someone commented on Instagram. 'Always keeping it so classy. By the way, you and your daughter look more like sisters than mother-daughter,' someone else said about the duo. In the carousel of photos, the mom-of-three included a sweet mirror selfie that Arabella, who donned a chic black gown, took of the pair. Another picture captured the moment Ivanka and her daughter looked sweetly at one another. 'What a beautiful family!' someone shared. 'Your daughter is pretty like you,' another user wrote. Also during the evening, Trump treated UFC star Kayla Harrison to a rare kiss on the cheek after she leapt out of the cage to celebrate with him. Kayla tapped out Julianna Pena at UFC 316 to win her first world title with the promotion, and the Commander in Chief and his daughter Ivanka were both sitting cage-side for the bout. After exiting the Octagon to head back to the locker rooms, Kayla made a bee-line for the president - and got more than just a customary handshake from Donald. In an unusually intimate gesture, the 34-year-old was pulled in for a hug and then received a kiss on her right cheek, with Donald seemingly delighted to see her pull off the victory in New Jersey. The pair then posed for a photo, with the 78-year-old Donald again wrapping his arms around Kayla, while putting his left hand on her exposed stomach. Post-kiss and before she departed the arena, Kayla put her new belt over Donald's shoulder while the duo pointed at each other to get cheers from the crowd.
