Dale Earnhardt Jr. reacts to breakup advice from his wife, Amy, in a recent episode of their podcast “Bless your Hardt,” where a fan’s question about ending relationships led to a funny yet emotionally charged exchange between the couple. The discussion offered a glimpse into their dynamic while highlighting their personal take on sensitive breakup etiquette.
During the episode, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Amy addressed a listener’s question about the best way to break up with someone. Both agreed that honesty was crucial, discouraging the act of ghosting as a way to avoid giving closure. They emphasized offering straightforward communication, even if the conversation was difficult, urging fans to face uncomfortable moments rather than leave their partners confused.
While Dale Earnhardt Jr., a veteran of the Cup Series, noted that doing the right thing often meant doing the hardest thing, Amy gave advice that took him by surprise. She suggested that if a direct conversation was too much, even sending a text followed by blocking the person could be an acceptable, if abrupt, way to provide closure. In Amy’s words,
“Even if it’s just a text message. You can send that and just be done with it. Send it and block him. Like at least you said something….At least it’s better than being ghosted with no answers,” she said. —Amy Earnhardt, Host of “Bless your Hardt”
Dale Earnhardt Jr. reacted to her suggestion with heartfelt humor, feeling the weight of her recommendation.
“Breaks my heart. That ripped my heart out.” —Dale Earnhardt Jr., Host of “Bless your Hardt”
“Your heart’s already broken, I think,” Amy said in defence. —Amy Earnhardt, Host of “Bless your Hardt”
“I know but you like ripped it out and then you stomped on it. You didn’t have to block me. I wasn’t going to harass you,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. replied. —Dale Earnhardt Jr., Host of “Bless your Hardt”
Despite Dale’s objections, Amy maintained that blocking someone was a valid way to completely move on, especially if the other person might continue to reach out. Dale clarified his own stance, feeling blocking was only necessary if an ex became a problem, but Amy stood firm in her belief that closure requires drawing clear boundaries.
The couple, who have shared more than a decade together, met in 2009, became engaged in 2015, and married on New Year’s Eve in 2016. Their family now includes two daughters, Isla Rose and Nicole Lorraine, who were born in 2018 and 2020, respectively. Dale’s reactions and Amy’s resolve highlight their strong relationship and ability to handle even uncomfortable topics with wit and candor.
