Maren Morris seems to have found her perfect match.

The singer, 34, is newly dating Netflix reality star Justin Assada, a source told People Monday.

Confirmation of the coupling comes a few days after Assada — who competed on “Surviving Paradise” before starring on “Perfect Match” Season 2 — posted a photo to his Instagram Story from an apparent date with Morris, who finalized her divorce from Ryan Hurd in January.

In the snap, the “Middle” songstress could be seen sitting casually across from Assada at an upscale restaurant.

Slouched in a booth, she sipped a cocktail as she flashed the camera a sultry stare.

“Scary movies + Sushi 😫 @marenmorris,” Assada wrote atop the image, which sent the rumor mill spinning.

Last week, Assada posted this photo to his Instagram Story from an apparent date with Morris.

Though he did not find love on “Perfect Match,” which aired earlier this summer, the Massachusetts native stayed friends with several of his co-stars, including Harry Jowsey.

In fact, when Assada stopped by Jowsey’s “Boyfriend Material” podcast in July, the latter joked about the former having a date planned with an unnamed “superstar.”

Though Assada did not reveal any names, he admitted that his appearance on the dating competition series bolstered his romantic prospects.

“I went from bottom of the barrel Hinge dates in Boston and then all of a sudden the show comes out, and there’s these people that I used to watch on TV or, like, listen to their music growing up, not to sound too conceited, but they’re in my DMs,” said Assada, who moved to Los Angeles after the season dropped.

“And now I’m out here, and I’m going on a pretty crazy date Thursday with someone that’s, like, it blows my mind.”

Reps for the pair did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

As for Morris, she filed for divorce from Hurd, 37 — with whom she shares son Hayes, 4 — in October 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences.” She then came out as bisexual in June.

The musician shared last month that she would only consider dating “a spectacularly impressive individual [who could] add something to [her] life.”

“I love my career, I love my baby, I love my home, I love my friends,” she told People. “Those are all things that matter to me, and those are self-made. I only will allow someone to come into my life if they amplify any of it.”

“They can’t be a net negative,” the Grammy winner went on. “They can’t drain my resources, and I mean that in every sense of the word — financially, emotionally, spiritually. You truly have to have your s–t together to be any part of my life at this point.”
