Patrick set the bar high for her new partner after split from Rodgers

In July 2020, Patrick’s rep announced that she and Rodgers were “no longer together.” Reports soon swirled that the signal caller had moved on with Big Little Lies actor Shailene Woodley. In February, Rodgers and Woodley confirmed that they were engaged.

Patrick meanwhile talked about moving on and finding love again as well saying that after Rodgers, she had very high expectations for the next person she dates.

“The next guy has his work cut out for him because my intuition, my standards, my boundaries, my wants, and needs are off the charts,” Patrick explained, adding, “I’ve gotten to know me so much more. So it’s gonna be so much more narrow and specific. And I think that’s the challenge with a relationship.”

Well Comstock was up for that challenge and Patrick gushed about their relationship during an interview with Extra.

“We both love to travel and we’re both super open-minded,” she said. “And, like, I had this sort of grand vision for finding someone that I could just sit on the couch with and, like, have a glass of wine and literally come up with any topic at all, simple or complicated, and just go, ‘Let’s talk about a tree. And, just go for two hours on like the nature of a tree. I just always imagined how great it would be to like find someone that you just sit on the couch and talk to for hours and that’s just what we do.”

Comstock founded the prepared meal delivery company Freshly with Michael Wystrach in 2012. Comstock is an advocate for healthy eating and on the company’s website states: “I’m not your traditional health expert. I don’t have a degree in nutrition, I’ve barely taken science classes, and I worked in sales before starting Freshly. But I’m a curious health nut who’s tried it all.”

So what is the age difference between the Pretty Intense podcast host and the Freshly co-founder? Comstock was born in 1987 and Patrick was born in 1982 making her five years older than him. The pair share a lot of the same interests including health and wellness which Patrick has been promoting since she retired from professional racing.

Prior to Comstock and Rodgers, Patrick was in a relationship with fellow NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. And before that she was married to  physical therapist Paul Hospenthal for seven years.
