One of the big realities of life is that no matter who you are, you’re going to be face disappointment. And more often than not, that disappointment stems from those close to us, not because they want to hurt us, but because they’re human beings. Making mistakes is a very human thing to do. However, there’s another human thing we all do is to move past those disappointments and start over, something former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick also did.

Patrick, a trailblazer when it comes to representing and empowering female participation in motorsports, had broken up with her boyfriend, Aaron Rodgers.

The former racecar driver and the NFL quarterback were together for a long-time. And their split was a cause of many a fan’s heartbreaks.

However, Patrick and Rodgers both moved on and found new partners. While Rodger’s engagement to actress Shailene Woodley recently broke off, Patrick is going strong with her boyfriend, Carter Comstock.

Patrick and Comstock have been together for a year now. Comstock, who is the founder of Freshly reportedly, met Patrick through a venture in which both of them are investors. That business being Beam, a CBD wellness brand.

Comstock is someone Danica Patrick can talk to “for hours”

In an interview, Patrick revealed the things that make her and Comstock compatible.

“We both love to travel and we’re both super open-minded, and 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,” she said.

“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.”

After her split with Aaron Rodgers, Danica Patrick had candidly spoken about the flip side of heartbreak and pain, something that paradoxically helps us while keeping us in agony.

“I think we learn the most about ourselves through relationships,” she had said.

Now, it’s good to see that Danica Patrick has not only come closer to herself, but she has sailed through the heartbreak and started anew.
