Aaron Rodgers reflected positively on his two-year romance with ex-girlfriend Danica Patrick in a new interview on Wednesday.

During an appearance on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast, the 38-year-old Green Bay Packers quarterback recalled how the 40-year-old former professional racing driver had introduced him to Aubrey, who founded the holistic lifestyle brand Onnit.

'I was dating Danica and that relationship was great for me because she is on her own journey and spirituality is important to her,' the NFL star said.

Aaron elaborated on how the former couple bonded over mindfulness and meditation practices.

He explained, 'We both were finding our way, learning about different things [and] practicing meditation techniques.' 

Danica and Aaron first met in 2012 at the ESPY Awards, but remained friends until 2018 when they sparked a romance. 

The Super Bowl champion also reminisced about taking a trip to Peru with his former beau to try ayahuasca— a psychoactive tea containing the hallucinogenic drug DMT.

Aaron said that he was inspired to take ayahuasca after becoming 'deeply moved' when a friend shared the story of his experience with the psychedelic.

'So Danica and I planned a trip down to Peru with some friends to go do it,' he told Aubrey.

The pro athlete recounted how he and Danica had 'an incredible experience climbing Mount Machu Picchu' and were accompanied by 'two incredible shamans.'
