Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick shared the agony of her relationship and breakup with NFL star Aaron Rodgers, during an appearance on the Sage Steele Show. 

"The breakup with Aaron in 2020, because it was sudden," Patrick said when asked what was the most painful experience. 

"It felt like it was my life. So when you live with somebody, it’s your whole life… And because the nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive, so that wore me down to nothing."

Patrick claims that Rogers "leaves a trail of blood."

"Someone that you know, people could never imagine that I would lack any confidence, or belief in the simple things about who I am. Everything was torn to bits. He leaves a trail of blood. I don’t think I’m saying too much earth-shattering stuff after we — there’s been enough out there," Patrick said. 

"But it gave me the greatest gift, which is myself. It gave me the greatest gift of how much I needed to show up for myself and take care of myself."

Rodgers and Patrick went public with their relationship in January 2018 after first meeting at the ESPY Awards in 2012.

At the time, a rep for the "Pretty Intense" podcast host and entrepreneur confirmed to Fox News that the pair were an item. 

Meanwhile, Patrick told The Associated Press that she and Rodgers first crossed paths in 2012 at The ESPY Awards.

"I told him a long time ago I’d always root for him as a player," she recalled to the outlet. "Now I am probably going to cheer for the whole team. Take out the word ‘probably.’ Now I’m going to cheer for the whole team."

In November 2019, the pair appeared to be going strong, with Patrick even joking on "The Jenny McCarthy Show" about a proposal.

When asked when she’d get married, Patrick jokingly responded, "Um, [tomorrow] — wait, no, what?"

Back in August 2017, Rodgers opened up to ESPN, explaining it’s not always easy dating when all eyes are on you.

"When you are living out a relationship in the public eye, it’s definitely… it’s difficult," he said. "It has some extra constraints because you have other opinions about your relationship, how it affects your work and, you know, just some inappropriate connections… There’s some horrible media outlets that… you say something or do something, where there’s a story, and they just go with it and run with it."

The couple then confirmed their breakup in July 2020. 

Patrick later opened up on the breakup during an appearance on National Geographic's "Running Wild with Bear Grylls" and told the survivalist that she learned a ton about herself during the public breakup.

"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 said, according to Yahoo! Entertainment. "But 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."

Ana de Armas made a rare comment about Tom Cruise after the pair were spotted out and about together over the past few months.

The "Ballerina" actress appeared to poke fun at the constant romance rumors that have been dominating media coverage ever since she and Cruise were spotted together the night before Valentine's Day.

"Obviously, everyone knows I’m working with Tom Cruise," she said during an interview with Women's Wear Daily.

Over the past several months, the "Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning" star and de Armas have been seen together. Cruise and de Armas are working together on the upcoming film "Deeper," directed by Doug Liman, according to Deadline.

"Those guys [Liman and filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie] are unbelievable at everything they do," de Armas told WWD. "And they’re so lovely and a great team, and the process we’re having is amazing."

The actress touched on the level of preparation required to star in an action movie with Cruise.

"It’s another level that just keeps setting the bar higher and higher. But it’s so much fun. And we’re not only working on that thing that we’re training for, but also a couple other things too. We just got excited," she said.

While speaking with reporters at the London premiere of his film, "Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning," Cruise raved about the upcoming action thriller, "Ballerina," starring de Armas.

"I just saw the movie. It kicks a--," Cruise said with a smile in an Instagram video shared by Spanish reporter Javier Ibarreche.

"Oh, man, it’s right in that tone," the "Top Gun: Maverick" star gushed. "It’s right in that big world. You’re going to love it."

"Ballerina" is the fifth film in the "John Wick" franchise, which stars Keanu Reeves as the titular assassin. In "Ballerina," which is set to be released June 6, de Armas plays a ballerina-turned-assassin who seeks to avenge her father's death. 

Reeves and Ian McShane, who have appeared in the four previous "John Wick" movies, are reprising their roles in "Ballerina." The cast also includes Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Norman Reedus and the late Lance Reddick in his final on-screen performance. 

Cruise made his remarks after de Armas teased that she and Cruise have "a few projects" in the pipeline. 

During a recent appearance on "Good Morning America," the actress was asked about working with Cruise on an upcoming film. Host Michael Strahan questioned de Armas about collaborating with the "Mission: Impossible" star "on another project that’s going to lead you to do some other crazy stunts."

She replied, "It’s so much fun, and we're definitely working on a lot of things. Not just one but a few projects with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I'm so excited."

De Armas' rare comments on Cruise come after they were spotted taking a leisurely stroll through a London park on her 37th birthday in April.

The day before de Armas' birthday, the Cuba native and Cruise were photographed as they disembarked a helicopter flown by the "Top Gun" star. 

Two weeks earlier, the pair were spotted after another helicopter ride. On April 13, Cruise and de Armas were seen exiting the actor's helicopter in London that took off from Madrid.

At the time, a source told People the pair were not romantically involved and were accompanied on the trip by Liman.
