Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and NASCAR professional racer Danica Patrick have been confirmed to be dating, making them one of the most recent celebrity power couples to surface in the entertainment business. The news was confirmed by Patrick herself when she was questioned during an Associated Press tour.

The 35-year-old professional race car driver explained that she and Rodgers have been friends for a long time, since 2012, when the two met at the ESPY Awards. Patrick did not mention just exactly how she and the 34-year-old National Football Association quarterback eventually got together, but explained that she will now be cheering for the Green Bay Packers despite being a Chicago Bears fan her whole life. 

Rodger's last notable relationship was with American actress Olivia Munn, which ended back in April last year. Rodgers stated that the reason that his relationship with the now 37-year-old actress did not work out was because he found it difficult to adjust to the amount of attention that he and Munn were receiving from the media. Rodgers felt that this affected the way he lived his life, and eventually became very conscious about all his actions. 

The rumors were fueled by TMZ, when they showed photos of Patrick and Rodgers out in public together. The two were spotted at The Mission Mexican restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona eating out with a handful of people. At that point, there were speculations surrounding a potential relationship between the two of them, but the news had not come out yet. The rumors became prevalent at the beginning of this year.

Patrick previously dated fellow racer Ricky Stenhouse Jr. for five years before they called it quits toward the end of 2017. Given that Rodgers and Patrick just started out, it seems they are getting along splendidly now that they have made their relationship publicly known.
