Danica Patrick Takes Some Shots at Aaron Rodgers When Talking About New Boyfriend

Danica Patrick is sure glad she has met a new man.

The former NASCAR superstar spoke with US Weekly regarding her new boyfriend, Carter Comstock. Patrick and Comstock are investors in a company called “Beam” and were set up by the company’s founders. Danica famously dated Aaron Rodgers before she met Comstock, and Danica has a learned a thing or two about relationships.

For one, she knows you can’t change someone no matter how hard you try.

“It’s more indicative of the work that this person has done before you ever met them,” Patrick told Us Weekly this week before participating in the 125th Boston Marathon in October. “You know, the idea that you’re going to change someone is a pipe dream. Like, it’s just … someone has to want to change for themselves.”

Danica pointed out that there’s much less pressure when you find “someone [who] has done the work and continues to do it,” and who isn’t afraid to get vulnerable.

“[It’s about] finding someone that has that kind of quality … and that also fits you in so many ways,” the “Pretty Intense” podcast host told Us. “That’s the other part is, you know, you’ve got to like doing everything together.”

Patrick said that she “got really lucky” with Comstock

“We both love to travel and we’re both super open-minded,” she explained in April. “I had this sort of grand vision for finding someone I could just sit on the couch with and, like, have a glass of wine and just literally come up with any topic at all, simple or complicated. … I just always imagined how great it would be to find someone to sit on the couch and talk with for hours, and that’s just what we do.”

Rodgers has moved on as well, he’s currently engaged to actress Shailene Woodley.

Looks like it all work out for all parties involved.
