Kermit the Frog has a new girlfriend named Denise, an ABC marketing executive.

The shakeup will make things awkward when “The Muppets” debuts on ABC on 22 September. The new series showcases Miss Piggy's new gig as late-night talk show host, the New York Daily News reports.

Kermit and Ms Piggy rocked the entertainment world last month when they announced the end of their 30-year relationship. The former item released a joint statement announcing their separation merely 28 days ago.

"After careful thought, thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling, we have made the difficult decision to terminate our romantic relationship."

However, people are speculating that Kermit only ditched Ms Piggy because of his new found fame from all those sipping tea memes. (He can thank Black Twitter, really.)

People are also suggesting that Kermit the Frog is what they call a "straight savage."

Some even questioned Kermit's frog-hood.

And some people just didn't approve at all.

Meanwhile, Miss Piggy seems to be doing just fine. Actor Liam Hemsworth joined Instagram on Monday and shared the following photo as his first post.
