Former racecar driver Danica Patrick is going through that after she and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke up last summer after more than two years together.
Rodgers has not only rebounded quickly wth actress Shailene Woodley, but the pair are getting set to get married. Patrick, meanwhile, is reportedly “single at the moment” and “enjoying life.”
