"I am sad to inform my fans that after seven years, Paul and I have decided to amicably end our marriage," Patrick announced on her Facebook page on Tuesday. "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."

It is not clear if a prenuptial agreement was in place, but Hospenthal, a physical therapist 17 years older than Patrick, did not make nearly as much as his wife, reports ISportsTimes.com.
 
There were also no signs of trouble in an earlier interview Patrick did with “Extra.” She talked about being “more one of the guys than anything” and how guys are just easier to deal with. She added, “I think my husband says it best. He says, ‘If you're wondering what I'm thinking, just listen to what I say.’”
 

Danica made roughly $12 million last year from NASCAR, as well from her multiple endorsement deals, including Go Daddy, Coke Zero and Tissot watches.

I just got paid $6784 working off my laptop this month. And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $9k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do, www.pie21.com

My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do,????? FLY38.COM ?????
