Professional racing driver Danica Patrick is the most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel racing.

Many fans are curious to know about her dating affairs. So, who has Danica Patrick dated till now?

Danica was married to Paul Edward Hospenthal for seven years

Danica Patrick was previously married to her now ex-husband, Paul Edward Hospenthal. Her ex-husband is a physical therapist whom she met in 2002 when she was recovering from a hip injury she sustained during a yoga session.

“I am sad to inform my fans that after 7 years, Paul and I have decided to amicably end our marriage.”

She continued:

“This isn’t easy for either of us, but mutually it has come to this. He has been an important person and friend in my life and that’s how we will remain moving forward.”

The duo started dating in 2013, and she announced her relationship by stating:

“I have a boyfriend, his name is Richard.”

Moreover, the couple had a competitive relationship, and Danica once declared herself as the better driver in 2016. Despite sharing the same passion, Danica and her boyfriend called it quits in December of 2017.

Danica Patrick and Aaron Rodgers

After her split with Ricky, Danica took no time to start a romance with the Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2018. She confirmed the affair, saying:

“We’ve just been sort of friends the whole time, kept in vague touch and seen each other at the ESPYs almost every year, and other places.”

“So one thing led to another, and we realized how similar we were, and yeah, that got the ball rolling.”

The couple made headlines in January 2018 after they confirmed their relationship. Aaron’s relationship with Danica started after he broke up with his then-three-year girlfriend, Olivia Munn.

Likewise, the couple had been very open about their relationship and often shared several posts together.

Their relationship was going strong until July 16, 2020, when a rep of Danica shared that the duo was no longer together. The race driver later opened up on her split, sharing:

“At the beginning of the last relationship. I was like, ‘Look. You either grow together; one grows and one doesn’t or you grow apart. I have never experienced growth without pain.”

Plans of marrying Aaron

Many fans believed that they would see Aaron and Danica tying the knot. Moreover, they also joked about getting married in 2019 on The Jenny McCarthy Show.

When Danica was asked if she had any plans on getting married, her then-boyfriend responded:

“Um, tom[orrow] — wait, no, what?”

Danica later joked:

“I’ll probably get proposed to tomorrow now.”

However, we won’t be seeing them together anymore, so it’s safe to say they won’t be tying the knot.

Danica also dated Carter Comstock

Danica went IG official with Carter Comstock, co-founder of the meal-prep company Freshly, in April 2021. Well, that was less than one year after her split from Rodgers.
