Aaron Rodgers thinks back fondly of his time with Danica Patrick. The Green Bay Packers quarterback made a rare comment about his personal life on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast as he recalled a life-changing trip (literally) with the with race car driver. The two did ayahuasca together in Peru where Rodgers says he learned self love.

"I was dating Danica and that relationship was great for me because she is on her own journey, and spirituality is important to her. We both were finding our way, learning about different things, practicing meditation techniques," Rodgers, 38, explained.

Patrick and Rodgers dated for two years before confirming their breakup in July 2020. He and Shailene Woodley were engaged months later.


Rodgers explained to Marcus that he previously had a good experience with hallucinogenic drugs after taking mushrooms on the beach with friends, which he said was the best day of his life.

"So Danica and I planned a trip down to Peru with some friends to go do [ayahuasca]," he continued. Ayahuasca is a plant-based psychedelic tea. "To me, one of the core tenets of your mental health is that self-love. That's what ayahuasca did for me, was help me see how to unconditionally love myself."
