CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Danica Patrick's heart is racing for Aaron Rodgers.
Patrick, a Chicago Bears fan, confirmed Monday she is dating the Green Bay Packers quarterback.
1. Brian Urlacher is (was?) her favorite NFL player. She's a lifelong Chicago Bears fan who grew up in Roscoe, Illinois — and was born in nearby Beloit, thus technically making her a Wisconsinite, if you don't mind the stretch. She has fond memories of watching the team with her dad and called Urlacher "my fav player" when she tweeted about his retirement in 2013. We suspect the Bears linebacker has since been bumped by a new favorite.

"Yes, Aaron and I are dating," Patrick told The Associated Press.
Rodgers split from actress Olivia Munn in 2017 after a three-year relationship. Patrick in late November ended a five-year relationship with fellow NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Patrick and Rodgers have been linked romantically since the start of the new year, right before Patrick began promoting her new fitness book.
She told the AP
the two first met at The ESPYS in 2012 and that despite her allegiance to the rival Bears,
"I told him a long time ago I'd always root for him as a player.
"Now I am probably going to cheer for the whole team," she added. "Take out the word 'probably.' Now I'm going to cheer for the whole team."Patrick is shifting her career off the racetrack and into the business of her personal brand. She'd like to close her racing career by competing at next month's Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500 in late May, a farewell she has dubbed "The Danica Double."
