Danica Patrick getting divorced
FOX News ^ | 20 Nov 2012 | AP Story

Posted on 11/20/2012 5:42:46 PM PST by smokingfrog

Danica Patrick and her husband are divorcing after seven years of marriage.

Patrick announced the split with Paul Hospenthal on her Facebook page Tuesday.

"I am sad to inform my fans that after seven years, Paul and I have decided amicably end our marriage," she said. "This isn't easy for either of us, but mutually it has come to this. He has been an important person and friend in my life and that's how we will remain moving forward."

Hospenthal is a physical therapist who met Patrick while treating her for a non-racing injury. The two were married in 2005, and he is 17 years older than the 30-year-old driver.

Another couple that stood up and said “Til death shall we part” and didn’t mean it, from the get-go. So typical.

As a presumably intelligent male of the species, Paul Hospenthal knew this day was coming the first time he kissed her ...

It's sad to see romantic love suffer the attacks of age ...

it's also the harsh reality.

Maybe not - they met and were married right before her career took off. With her drviing career taking off, all of the working out and modeling opps took off too. She instantly became hotter, richer, more famous.

At that point, when her career did take off, it was probably inevitable, but not when they first met. I doubt many marriages survive a sudden and radical change in career status. Not justifying anything or excusing anything, just observing.

You’re posting facts and common sense.
Is that allowed on FR these days?

Really? No s**t!

The most over rated NASCAR driver in the history of the sport ... because she happens to be attractive?

What more needs to be said ... ?

celebuskanks never take vow seriously anyway

He was a very tolerant guy apparently, after those Godaddy ads, I would never have spoken to her again.

Why is she still in NASCAR after admitting to trying to cause accidents on the race track anyway??

Why does she need a husband? The government will take care of her.

Junior is too busy taking pics for Playboy to stick with one gal.

Then again, I guess he and Skanknica are perfect for each other.

Allowed, but often criticized! Especially on marriage threads.
