Danica Patrick celebrated the new year by providing a rare glimpse of her new mystery boyfriend in an Instagram photo dump.
The former NASCAR driver, who went public with the relationship last month, shared a number of snaps while admitting she is ‘kinda pumped for 2026’ after seemingly finding love again.
As well as friends Mikhaila Peterson and Emily Powell, she also posted some pictures of her new partner in the dump, who is still yet to be identified.
The images include a blurry selfie of them together, Patrick, 43, kissing him on the cheek while at a new year’s party and one of them playing a game of Jenga with Powell.
She did not tag her new man in the post, ensuring his identity remains a secret to most.
Patrick famously dated the current Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers- who she described as ’emotionally abusive’ – but was believed to be single for the majority of last year.

Patrick went public with the relationship in December, just months after claiming to be single
Last September, she shared a picture of her kissing a man at Burning Man festival but in June, she insisted that she was not in a relationship.
In an appearance on Ty Dillon’s ‘Believe in the Good’ podcast, she was quizzed on her love life but confirmed she was not dating anyone.
‘Are you single right now?’ Haley asked. Patrick answered ‘Yeah.’
‘I’m going to be interested to see who’s sliding into my DMs to get to your DMs,’ Haley joked back.
Patrick has previously spoken of her heartbreak at her split with Rodgers after two years of dating ended in July 2020.
In an appearance on ‘The Sage Steele Show in May, she described it as her most painful experience.
‘Because it was so sudden,’ she reflected. ‘It felt like it was my life. So when you live with somebody, it’s your whole life.
‘And because the nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive, so that wore me down to nothing.’
