And with one swipe to the right, Amy Schumer may have just found Mr. Right.

If you missed the big news, the A-list comedian has found a handsome new boyfriend named Ben Hanisch. While we like their pictures together on social media, something tells us you'll love how they met.

Multiple sources confirm to E! News exclusively that the pair met on a dating app titled Bumble. In fact, Ben created an account in early 2015.

For all those not up to date with technology, the mobile phone matchmaker allows the women to always make the first move. If she doesn't say something to a new connection within 24 hours, that connection disappears forever.

The quick thinking appears to have paid off. In addition to making their social media presence known, Amy shared a picture with her man and his family at the White House.  As for Ben, he couldn't help but express his appreciation for the new lady in his life.

"Sometimes in life you get extremely lucky, and the smartest, funniest, most beautiful woman comes along when you least expect it," he shared on Instagram. "Here's to what adventures 2016 brings!"

While fans know Amy as a fearless comedian who also found success on the big screen with Trainwreck, many may not know too much about Ben. To say his resume is impressive may just be an understatement.

The former design consultant for HGTV is now living life in Chicago and succeeding as a furniture designer. "He designs really cool, unique stuff," a source told E! News. "His pieces are very high quality."

As a bonus, a source describes him as a "super nice, chill guy" who is "very down-to-earth."

Perhaps dating apps are too legit to quit.
