Aaron Rodgers has a massive fan base supporting him and for good reason. So naturally, his fans can sometimes ask more than what is feasible for the Super Bowl champion. However, for such an incident in 2020, Danica Patrick came to Rodgers’ rescue!

A fan really wanted Rodgers to be by his side when she was under anesthesia after surgery.

She really is a big fan. In fact, she considers him her best friend. She said, “I love him, he’s my best friend.”

“Aaron Rodgers would buy me 400 popsicles.”

But in the end, she disappointedly said, “He’s hanging out with Danica [Patrick]”.

Seeing this, Danica Patrick was quick to the scene to cheer up the fan.

Patrick shared the fan’s video with a response, tagging Rodgers and promising to send 400 popsicles.

This was such a wholesome moment between the former NASCAR Cup Series driver and a fan of the Quarterback.

The breakup was quite challenging for the pair. In an episode of Running Wild With Bear Grylls, the former NASCAR driver talked about a relationship. Although she didn’t take any name, it seemed like she was talking about Rodgers.

“I think we learn the most about ourselves through relationships, but there’s nothing like heartbreak to really throw you in the deep end of that,” Patrick told host Grylls, according to People.

“I’ve learned a lot, and as broken open as I was on the sad end, I have felt so much joy in so many more instances and so many more unlikely places than I ever have, so it’s like my heart got broken open to both ends of the spectrum.”
