Personal life and media workPatrick is married to physical therapist Paul Hospenthal, who is sixteen years her senior. They were married in a private ceremony on November 19, 2005 in Scottsdale, Arizona where they currently reside. The two met when Danica had to receive medical attention for an injured hip when she was 20 years old.
Patrick also hosts several TV shows on Spike TV. As a result of the attention she got for her participation in the 2005 Indianapolis 500 and for her perceived attractiveness, she was asked by Playboy to have her pictures taken to be published in a future edition of its magazine. She declined the offer, but she had posed for FHM, appearing in the April 2003 issue.
She loves to roller blade and follows a variety of activities to work out. She combines running (3-5 miles) and weight training with what she calls ‘extreme yoga.’ Her 90-minute yoga sessions are conducted in a 100-degree room with a circuit of 26 poses which is repeated twice.
