Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s wife, Amy Earnhardt, opened up about how her husband deals with disagreements. She took a subtle jibe at Earnhardt Jr. and said he likes to argue with everyone around him even in moments when he shouldn't.
Earnhardt Jr. is a former NASCAR driver who met Amy Reimann during his early racing days at Hendrick Motorsports. They married in December 2016, before the driver's final Cup Series season commenced. Today, the couple launched a new show called Bless Your 'Hardt, which revolves around the Earnhardt family.
The show was off to a rough start after Amy playfully took a dig at Dale Jr. about resorting to an argument. She said (via X):
"I feel like you really like to argue."
The 26-time Cup race winner then denied his wife's claims. However, Amy went on to say:
"You like to clown, debate, argue, and poke at everyone around you."
In response, Dale Jr. said he just wanted to be a "smartass" and joke around. Amy stated her husband's antics create arguments.
"Sometimes, it's not the right time for that," Amy added.
At the end, the couple agreed that the podcast might be a good opportunity to settle disagreements and help them grow.
Aside from arguments, the pilot episode of the all-new Bless Your 'Hardt show discussed family matters, including the daddy-daughter dance, Earnhardt Jr.'s take on video games, and picking which artwork of their daughter to keep.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Amy are parents to two daughters, Isla Rose, 6, and Nicole Lorraine, 4. The younger sibling's name came from Amy's middle name (Nicole) and Dale Jr.'s mom's middle name (Lorraine).
