The couple are longtime friends, but publicly confirmed their relationship at the beginning of 2018.

In a November 2019 appearance on "Strahan, Sara and Keke," Patrick spoke about how she sometimes gets nervous when she's watching him play.

"I especially get nervous when he's still holding onto the ball," she shared with a laugh. "Let go of the ball! Stop holding on to the ball! Somebody is coming at you."
