Where Is Danica Patrick Now? Her Net Worth, Life After NASCAR, And Relationship Status Post Divorce

Danica Patrick is no stranger to the limelight. Recently, the retired NASCAR and IndyCar star returned to the headlines for her blazing opinions over the NFL’s choice of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. Her sharp words against the Puerto Rican superstar have since ignited a firestorm online.

The 43-year-old former NASCAR driver threw shade at the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, arguing on X (formerly Twitter) that no non-English song should be allowed at ‘one of America’s highest-rated television events of the year’. Patrick’s words have sparked debate on social media, with many siding with the former racer and some disagreeing.

But beyond this controversy, many are wondering what Danica Patrick’s life looks like today. Here’s everything you need to know about the motorsport legend’s life post-retirement, her multimillion-dollar net worth and her relationship status.

Who is Danica Patrick? A glimpse into her career as a motorsport pioneer

Danica Patrick has carved her place in history as the most successful woman in American open-wheel racing to date. The model competed in the IndyCar Series from 2005 to 2011, becoming the first woman to win an IndyCar race with her 2008 victory at the Indy Japan 300. She later participated in the NASCAR Cup Series from 2012 to 2018, earning the first pole position for a woman in the competition at the 2013 Daytona 500.

Throughout her motorsport career, Patrick proved her mettle in racing, dominating the traditionally male-dominated sports arena. In 2017, she retired from full-time racing, concluding her iconic sports career with appearances at the 2018 Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500. Her groundbreaking legacy continues to inspire the youth, especially female race car drivers.

Inside Danica Patrick’s massive wealth, properties, and business ventures

Not only is Danica Patrick a trailblazer in motorsports, but she is also the richest female NASCAR star, having established a multimillion-dollar fortune for herself. The 43-year-old might have retired from her racing career, but her hustle hasn’t stopped. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Patrick’s net worth as of 2025 is estimated to be around USD 80 million, thanks to her prize money, lucrative sponsorships, and business ventures.

Aside from racing, Patrick has received high-paying sponsorships from brands such as Coca-Cola, GoDaddy, Chevrolet, and Tissot. Today, she is a successful businesswoman, the owner of Somnium, a premium Napa Valley wine brand, and Warrior by Danica Patrick, an athleisure line she launched in collaboration with G-III Apparel Group. 

Since retiring from speed racing, Danica Patrick has tried her hand at hosting podcasts and even penned her wellness book, Pretty Intense. She also stepped into broadcasting with Formula One coverage on Sky Sports. 

Most recently, in August 2025, Patrick fulfilled a very personal dream by purchasing a sprawling mountain retreat in Colorado. While pricing details were not disclosed, the stunning dark wood, big open windows, high ceilings, and ample space for her two dogs leave no room for doubt that this was an expensive purchase. Sharing photos from her new abode, the former NASCAR star wrote on Instagram:

“I have been searching for my mountain escape from the Arizona heat for 5 years. I was patient and found a little slice of heaven. (And I am never patient). On top of great weather and beautiful mountains, and wild animals.... I can play all my fav new sports!”

What is Danica Patrick’s life like after NASCAR?

Over the years, Danica Patrick has kept herself busy with podcasting and speaking gigs on broadcast media; however, her personal life continues to make headlines, whether it's her health, fitness, or spirituality. In 2015, the ex-NASCAR racer got breast implants, and it took her seven years to realise her multiple health issues during that period were caused by them. In 2022, she was diagnosed with breast implant illness before undergoing surgery to have them removed. Despite the health challenges, Danica continues to chase new passions while embracing her physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

A glimpse into Danica Patrick’s love life post-divorce

Patrick’s love life has often been a topic of public scrutiny. In 2005, she married Paul Edward Hospenthal, a physical therapist, but the couple divorced in 2013. She later dated fellow NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. for a brief period. But her most famous and high-profile relationship was with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whom she dated from 2018 to 2020.

When Patrick and Rodgers made their relationship official, they soon became one of the hottest sports couples, with fans loving their chemistry and PDA moments. The former couple even purchased a Malibu estate worth USD 28 million, spanning over 3,500 square feet. It thus came as a shock when the pair announced their split. While they didn’t say much about the breakup immediately after, Patrick recently admitted it was deeply painful.

In a May 2025 episode on The Sage Steele Show, Patrick reflected on the split as the ‘most amount of pain’ she has experienced. Describing her relationship with the four-time NFL MVP as ‘emotionally abusive’, the NASCAR legend said:

“Because it was sudden, it felt like. It was my life. So, like, when you live with somebody, it’s your whole life. And because the nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive, so that wore me down to nothing.”

After Rodgers, Danica briefly dated businessman Carter Comstock, but the romance ended in 2022. As of now, Patrick has confirmed she is single. In a recent appearance on the Believe in the Good podcast with Haley Dillon, the former race car driver admitted she is unattached, joking about who might try to slide into her DMs next.

Where is Danica Patrick now?

Today, at 43, Danica Patrick is embracing her life as an entrepreneur, a popular media personality, and an adventure seeker. The former racing icon continues to chart her own path, whether it’s skiing in Aspen, golfing in Arizona, or sipping wine from her own vineyard. 

From being a racing legend, Danica Patrick has evolved into a successful businesswoman and outspoken cultural critic. And while her recent NFL comments stirred fresh controversy, she remains unapologetically outspoken.
