Aaron Rodgers is a really good driver, says USA's racing ace Danica Patrick

USA's racing ace Danica Patrick says it's her NFL star boyfriend who takes the wheel whenever they're on a date

Just-retired US racer Danica Patrick recently opened up on what it's really like to date American football champ, Aaron Rodgers. Patrick, who made her relationship with the Green Bay Packers quarterback official in January this year, said on an episode of US TV show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! that he's quite good behind the wheel himself.

"Aaron is a really good driver actually," said Patrick when asked who drives on dates. "He probably has fewer tickets. I remember once I got pulled over three times in three days. Aaron's not like me. He's really cautious while driving," she said.

Patrick however, confessed that she's only been a Packers fan recently. "I am the biggest Packers fan now, but it wasn't always the case. I actually grew up rooting for the team's rival, the Chicago Bears," she said. Since January this year, the couple have enjoyed quite a few trips together, including visits to Mexico, Africa and India, where they met the Dalai Lama.
