During an episode of Running Wild With Bear Grylls, Patrick shared how deeply the breakup affected her.

“There’s nothing like heartbreak to really throw you in the deep end,” she said. “As broken open as I was on the sad end, I have felt so much joy in so many more instances and so many more unlikely places than I ever have. It’s like my heart got broken open to both ends of the spectrum.”

Through it all, Patrick leaned on her family for support. “My dad is always super proud of me. My mom and sister too. I’m really fortunate that I have a family that’s super supportive. You gotta have someone you can fall apart with, you know?” she added.
