Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, 44, shared photos on Instagram from her European vacation in Ibiza with her new mystery boyfriend on Monday. The racing legend posted images showing her sun-drenched trip, including photos of herself posing in a bright yellow bikini during a day at the beach.
Patrick and her partner, whose identity remains a mystery, were pictured kissing in a cave-like location. In her post caption, Patrick wrote: "We saw so many beautiful beaches… but the modes of transportation it took to get there was half the fun."
The couple have kept their romance extremely low key in recent months, though they appeared loved up in the new images. They first went public with their relationship in December when Patrick posted photos from a romantic trip to a luxury hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Before traveling to Ibiza, the couple spent time in Mykonos with a group of friends. Posting about that trip last week, Patrick wrote, "We did Mykonos right. From what I remember," and added in another post that "Summering in Europe has become a ritual."
Past relationships and career changes
Patrick was previously in a relationship with Carter Comstock until March 2022, when they separated after a year of dating. She also had a relationship with NFL icon Aaron Rodgers, which ended acrimoniously in 2020 while he still played for the Green Bay Packers.
The former driver has had more time to herself this summer after leaving her role as a Formula One analyst with Sky Sports shortly before the 2026 season began. She had been part of their coverage for the past five seasons, first appearing during the United States Grand Prix in October 2021.
Political involvement and Trump meeting
In April, Patrick reunited with President Donald Trump in Arizona and took a seat for his speech at a Turning Point USA event. She has been a huge Trump supporter over recent years, speaking out for him on the campaign trail and claiming she had never voted in an election before Trump entered politics.
Following their meeting in Arizona, Patrick shared two pictures on Instagram after having a quick chat with the President. She wrote, "My friend, POTUS," and added: "First pics was me telling him how much I love his buddy Dana White and going to my first UFC fight after meeting him last November at a MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) summit."
Patrick added in the post: "What a wild, weird and amazing life I get to live. Another amazing event put on by Turning Point USA." She also shared the images to her Instagram story, adding: "Our President is badass and funny."
