Danica Patrick has found new love months after her split from Aaron Rodgers.

Patrick is dating Freshly co-founder Carter Comstock, her rep confirmed to Page Six Friday. On the same day, the former NASCAR star, 39, showed off her new beau on Instagram.

Patrick shared two makeup-free selfies after a beach workout, showing her in a black swimsuit. In one of the photos, Comstock kisses her on the cheek as she smiles at the camera.

"Beach workouts are fun for one, but better with you," she wrote in the caption with revolving hearts emoji.

Her post received tons of messages of support from followers, many of whom left red heart and heart eyes emojis in the comments section.

"Love seeing you happy, Danica. Now this is his warning that your fans are protective. [wink emoji] We have your back!" one person commented.

"Omg yes! So happy for you! You deserve the best!" a second follower added.

"So beautiful wish i could have met you one day in my lifetime i am a big fan of yours," a third one wrote.

"I don’t know you personally but I am SO happy for you," a fourth netizen commented.

"I just saw you last night camping with Bear. Really good showing of you. I love your outlook on life," a fifth user added.

This comes several months after she and Rodgers, 37, called it quits last summer after two years of dating. They were first linked to each other in early 2018 and had purchased a $28 million Malibu property together in December 2019, Page Six reported.

Earlier this week, Patrick opened up about her split from the Green Bay Packers quarterback when she appeared on "Running Wild With Bear Grylls." She said she was doing well now but did not hide the fact that their breakup left her "broken open."

"I think we learn the most about ourselves through relationships, but there’s nothing like heartbreak to really throw you in the deep end of that," she was quoted by Us Weekly as saying.

She continued, "But I’ve learned a lot and 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, so it’s like my heart got broken open to both ends of the spectrum."

Patrick previously dated her fellow NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. for five years before they split in 2017. She was also previously married to Paul Edward Hospenthal from 2006 to 2013.

Meanwhile, Rodgers announced his engagement to Shailene Woodley when accepted his NFL MVP award in February. He didn't drop the name of his fiancée at the time, but the "Divergent" star confirmed weeks later that they have been engaged "for a while."
