Danica Patrick said she’s “pumped” for 2026 after spending New Year’s Eve with her new boyfriend.

The former NASCAR driver, who appeared to make things public on social media last month, shared an Instagram photo of her and an unnamed man at a party together.

Patrick is seen kissing the side of his face as he donned Happy New Year tinted glasses.

“Not so new, new year’s pics. 📸 Kinda pumped for 2026,” the 43-year-old Patrick wrote.

Another photo shows Patrick, the mystery man and her friend Emily J. Powell playing Jenga.

It’s unclear where exactly Patrick rang in 2026.

The NASCAR pundit stirred some buzz online when she shared an Instagram photo last month of her and an unnamed man cozying up together at the Fairmont Princess, a luxury hotel in Scottsdale, Ariz., seemingly confirming the new romance.

Patrick has yet to publicly address it.

During an appearance on the “Believe in the Good” podcast last June, Patrick shared that she was single at the time.

It came after she appeared to reveal her boyfriend in a photo of the pair kissing at the Burning Man festival in September 2024.

Before that, Patrick dated then-Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (currently with the Steelers).

They called it quits in July 2020 after dating for two years.

In a June 2025 press conference, Rodgers revealed that he is married after confirming he was wearing a wedding ring.
