"Georgia peaches," Peden wrote on his Instagram Story. Dunham reposted the image, writing: "Love is pale."

Dunham also shared a photo on her Instagram Story of Peden planting a kiss on her cheek, while he wrapped one arm around her waist in Woodstock, Georgia. The Love Is Blind alum reposted the loved-up picture on his respective story.

Then on May 31, Paul posted a picture of the two of them sharing a drink, along with a "We Just Leak It?" GIF.

The duo's romance comes over a month after the Love Is Blind Season 4 reunion. Peden reunited with his ex-fiancée Micah Lussier during the special in April. When asked by co-host Nick Lachey how he felt knowing that Lussier was ready to say yes at the altar, he replied, "I don't know. It's difficult, I think. It's always more clear in retrospect. I don't know."

Peden admitted that he didn't think anything would have changed if Lussier had gone first and said yes. "My knee-jerk reaction is no," he said. "Because I don't believe in doing things like making decisions based on other people. I really do think that, you know, you should own your truth, and that serves both people in a relationship."

Peden continued, "So I don't think that I would have, but also I don't know what that feels like, you know, to have your partner choosing you, saying yes, affirming you. I don't know what that feels like, so I don't know. I can't say with 100 percent certainty that I wouldn't have changed my answer, but my knee-jerk reaction is I would have said the same thing. I don't know."

In the Season 4 finale, Lussier said "the best thing" that she could do for her and Peden was to give him "the opportunity" to answer first. "I love you. But, I don't think that we can choose each other right now," he answered. "I think that we're not there."

"Honestly, I feel like that's exactly what you were gonna say," Lussier responded to him. "I think that this whole time I've wanted to feel shown and told, you know, that [you] love me and that you want to be with me. I never like felt safe. And I think that this like moment just kind of shows that that's validated."
