"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," Danica Patrick said on the Sage Steele Show back in May 2025 when asked about her split from NFL star Aaron Rodgers. And now, Rodgers has offered a dramatically different version of their relationship, pushing back on Patrick's account and claiming she was struggling emotionally after retiring from racing. His comments have reopened an old chapter while challenging the story Patrick previously shared publicly.
"I dated Danica. She had just retired. She was depressed and not fun to be around. But I didn't leave her because I was trying to be there and be a good partner. Then it was going a certain direction, obviously. There was no intimacy. There was nothing. And I'm buying a house in Malibu and she goes, 'Would you want to buy it together?' and I said no." Aaron Rodgers recently revealed his side of the story on the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast.
Rodgers and Patrick had known each other for years before their romance became public. Patrick has previously recalled meeting the Green Bay Packers quarterback at the ESPYs in 2012, where Rodgers gave her his email address.
The two remained in occasional contact afterward, although their communication was not always consistent. Their relationship eventually became public in January 2018, following the end of their respective previous relationships.
