we get to bring you another trending clip.
The clip you're about to hear is trending on our Instagram right
now. Hope you enjoy this week.
Danica Patrick What does Danica Patrick look for in a life
partner? Well, I think you just want to
be with someone that reciprocates, right, someone
who's going to love at the same level and the same same way or
the way that you need it, right. I mean, there's like a, you
know, great book called the five love languages.
And you know, everybody receives feels love or receives love, you
know, in a few variety of different ways.
And so, you know, if you're, you know, love tank stays full based
on that. And you know, I think ultimately
the most important thing is that you want to grow together.
And you know, I feel like over time, like I've observed that if
you don't, if you're not growing together in the same way, it
doesn't work. You can be super compatible, not
compatible, it doesn't matter. It hasn't worked out in the
past. So what matters is that you want
to grow in the same way. You want the same things because
that's, I think people kind of grow out of each other.
They grow in different directions, or one grows and one
doesn't. And then you just end up going
not for me anymore. Like I can't stay here.
I'm, I have to keep going. And and so I think that's, I
think that's like a fundamental core necessity for a partner.
Why do you think it works with Aaron?
Well, I think we want to grow in the same way.
I mean, it's not like we've got, you know, 15 years of marriage
to tell you that it worked out, but I've believed that we want
to grow in the same way. We both have the same interests.
We both have the same core beliefs and opinions and our
we're open minded people. And while we we do have a lot of
hobbies, the same, we have a few different ones, but generally
we're like similar people. And but most importantly, we
want to, we want to grow. How strange, if at all, is it
for you to all of a sudden be with somebody who you know has
the same level of fame as you and also had an extraordinary
amount of financial success? Well, I finally found someone
who pays for things. There you go.
That's never happened, ever. Like, I would buy dinner.
Literally. Yeah.
Listen, wait, somebody. Never bought dinner.
Super uncomfortable, yeah. Like, I mean, I would buy dinner
most of the time. It was super uncomfortable in
the beginning with Aaron like to have him paying for things
because it was so out of the norm for me.
And you're sure that's just not you setting the precedent that
you want to buy dinner? It's just a pattern.
Like I had to break that pattern of like, I got it.
Like, let me take care of you, You know, like, that's how I do
it. But I think it's also good
because no one's really done that for him either.
And so, you know, we both do stuff.
But yes, he pays for most things.
What? Do you think each of you like
about one another? I really think it's that we both
are interested and interested in similar things and that stems
from being open minded people, you know?
Yeah. Like it all really started with
me asking if he was stalking me on the astral plane and then it
went from there. So.
Yeah, exactly. Because people don't know what
that means, but he knew what that meant.
And then it just went from there.
And we were like, Oh my God, you what?
You know, but that what you like this.
Oh my God. Like we're like, we had to been
friends for six years, 5-6 years and like just friends as in
like, hey, how's it going? Or like, oh, Congrats on the
game or good race or you know, sometimes I didn't hear from for
a whole year and then I'd hear from a couple times the next
year. I mean, it was very sporadic,
but definitely friend based. And so, you know, it's just one
of those things where we both went what we're interested in,
in unique things that not a lot of people are.
And we're also very open minded people, so, you know, we love to
learn and educate ourselves. And so, you know, when he buys
me books called like the holographic universe, I'm like,
this is awesome. You know him.
I mean, and I don't, I think people generally know this about
him, but maybe not at the level like I love that he's smart.
I mean he is a super and super intelligent person.
I love to grow and sew and learn more and he can help me do that.
Your sister, in an article I read from many years back, was
quoted as saying I always wanted to be a mom, where that's not
really something she's had. Meaning you How's that desire
changed over the years on your end?
I mean, kids have crossed my mind since I was in my, you
know, early 20s for sure. Like, you know, you come across
some cute kids along the way like, oh, that's cool.
Or you think of the idea of it and you're like, you know, I was
always very focused on racing and was never going to quit
racing for it. But like, surrogacy crossed my
mind plenty of times and, you know, it just was not in the
cards for so long because of, you know, two people have to
want to sit, want the same thing.
And it never was like that did. Her having kids.
Yeah, hurricanes, like I, yes, I mean, they're so fun.
They're just so great. And so I, I love seeing her kids
and they make me inspired to, you know, want them because
they're fun. They they're, they're really
just amazing little human beings.
