Danica Patrick’s breakup with Aaron Rodgers left her so devastated that she was left “open.”
The former NASCAR driver reflected on the split and said it while leaving her heartbroken, which taught her many things about herself.
“I think we learn the most from ourselves through relationships, but there’s nothing like a lovelessness that can drag you down in the end,” he said in Monday’s episode of “Running Wild With Bear Grylls”.
“But I’ve learned a lot and, as broken as in the sad ending, I’ve felt so much joy in so many more instances and so many more unlikely places than ever, so it’s as if my heart breaks at both ends of the spectrum.” .
In the end, he relied on his family to help repair his heart.
“[My dad is] always very proud of me, “she shared.” My mother, too. My sister. I’m very lucky to have a very supportive family. You have to have someone you can break up with, you know? “
Patrick, 39, and Green Bay Packers quarterback, 37, first related in 2018 and their relationship worsened from there. The former couple bought a $ 28 million estate in Malibu in December 2019, but buying money was not enough to keep them together.
Patrick’s representative confirmed to Page Six in July 2020 that Patrick and Rodgers had split up.
The NFL player eventually moved in with current fiancée Shailene Woodley, whom she met in quarantine. The star of “The Little Little Lies” confirmed in February 2021 that she and the football star were engaged.
Shortly afterwards, Patrick shared a cryptic message on social media about relationships.
“Your relationships are mirrors,” Patrick said. “We cannot receive what we do not believe. (I invented it right now, but I’m sure I’m not the first.) We see all of life through our own personal purpose. What you are looking for is to look for yourself. You get what you think you deserve. When you change, the things you see change. Whether you think you can or not, you’re right. “
