Danica Patrick’s relationship with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has officially run out of gas.
The soon-to-be retired NASCAR driver and Stenhouse, a fellow circuit star, have called it quits after five years together, Patrick’s rep confirmed Monday, via ESPN.
Rumors of a potential split first surfaced in late November, when Stenhouse, 30, attended the NASCAR Cup Series awards solo.
Patrick, 35, and Stenhouse began dating in 2012 shortly after joining NASCAR. The pair confirmed the relationship in January 2013, four months before finalizing her divorce from first husband, Paul Hospenthal.
Yoga enthusiast Patrick is gearing up for the release of her upcoming lifestyle book, “Pretty Intense: The 90-Day Mind, Body and Food Plan that will absolutely Change Your Life,” due out Dec. 26.
Patrick plans on racing the Daytona 500 and Indy 500 next year before retiring.
