Danica Patrick returned to social media for the first time since her ex-boyfriend Aaron Rodgers made wild claims about their years-long relationship — and she was seemingly unbothered.
Patrick, 44, posted a series of photos from her recent travels via Instagram on Monday, September 21.
“Along with the best company we went back to Amalfi, and it was beautiful!” she captioned the pics. “Learned about prephilloxera [sic] wine made in Ravello. And fell in love with St Tropez!”
The former NASCAR driver noted that she didn’t make her annual trip to Burning Man, adding, “Be back next year, fomo fo show!”
Aaron Rodgers’ ex, Mallory Edens, appears to be clapping back after he said he was “emotionally unavailable” in various past relationships. Model, actress and film producer Edens, 30, who is the daughter of billionaire Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens, was briefly linked with Rodgers, 42, in 2023, before he married wife Brittani. On Monday, September […]
Patrick’s boyfriend appeared in a handful of the vacation photos, though his identity mostly remains a mystery. She first shared pictures of the two together in December 2025.
The Instagram photo dump comes less than two weeks after Rodgers, 42, went on Pittsburgh Steelers teammates Cam Heyward’s “Not Just Football” podcast and made shocking allegations about his relationship with Patrick, who he dated from 2018 to 2020.
“I dated Danica and she had just retired,” Rodgers said. “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.”

He continued, “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, ‘Do you want to buy it together?’ and I said no. She said, ‘Well, you know what that means then.’ I said, ‘Yeah, that’s the way things are going.’ She said, ‘Well, let’s get counseling.’”
Rodgers said that he and Patrick entered counseling together, but “then COVID hit and we were stuck together.”
Us has reached out to Patrick for comment.
Though she hasn’t directly responded to her ex’s latest claims, Patrick candidly discussed their relationship during a 2025 interview on “The Sage Steele Show” podcast, calling the NFL quarterback “emotionally abusive.”
“He leaves a trail of blood,” she argued. “I don’t think I’m saying too much earth-shattering stuff after there’s been enough out there.”
Aaron Rodgers made a bold claim about his high-profile exes — including former fiancée, Shailene Woodley — drawing a straight line between his public persona and their reputation. “The height of their fame is when they were with me,” Rodgers, 42, said on the Thursday, September 10, episode of the “Not Just Football” podcast. “They […]
Rodgers, for his part, addressed Patrick’s comments during his “Not Just Football” interview, claiming her narrative is “not rooted in truth at all.”
“So she tells the story that, ‘I was so blindsided by getting left by you, he leaves a trail of blood around,’” he said. “I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ That is not what happened by any means.”
Rodgers then strongly urged his exes — including former fiancée Shailene Woodley — to “stop talking about me.”
“It’s been years,” he said. “What are you talking about? You’re not relevant.”
