Married At First Sight's Ryan Donnelly got very handsy with his rumoured 'girlfriend' Jennie on Sunday at Daily Mail Australia's exclusive reunion after party at Sydney's Noir.
The pair, who are actually close friends, were snapped getting close on the dance floor as the cast partied at the popular nightspot.
In the pictures, Ryan could be seen dancing closely with the tattooed beauty, who wore a black lacy mini dress boasting a revealing slit up her thigh.
One snap showed the pair with their arms wrapped around each other as they posed for a photo with giant grins.
In another picture, it even seemed like the pair were leaning in for a kiss as she affectionately touched Ryan's chest.
Ryan, who was partnered with now-engaged reality star Jacqui, 29, on the show, wore a pair of maroon-coloured jeans and a black button-up shirt, which he left casually open to show a peep of skin.

In March, Jacqui came under fire after making a crude comment Ryan's love life during a chaotic TikTok Live.
The lawyer took part in a now-viral livestream alongside her now-fiancé Clint Rice, which was met with backlash.
The pair appeared to mock Ryan's location and sexual activity with an expletive-laced joke that many viewers have labelled 'sl*t-shaming'.
'Where is Ryan? He's probably in Campbelltown,' Jacqui said, before crudely adding: 'I guess he's probably f***ing some sl*t.'
Clint, clearly caught off guard, laughed nervously and replied: 'Can we cut that?'
The pair's remarks spread rapidly across social media, sparking outrage and hundreds of furious comments slamming Jacqui.
Jacqui issued a lengthy statement apologising for the slur, saying the term was used sarcastically but admitting 'it wasn't funny'.
She went on to clarify that she has no contact with Ryan, claiming he's blocked and that she gets friends and family to monitor his online content and report back to her.

'I don't follow Ryan and didn't know he was seeing anyone – last I heard he was single hooking up with women at parties with his tongue down their throats,' Jacqui claimed.
'Yes, I literally get heaps of these messages from girls.'
'Sorry to those romantic interests if they are offended – all the best to these babes (and no shame on towns and locations).'
However, fans weren't buying the apology, flooding social media with scathing criticism.
One user wrote: 'Ew. Calling women sl*ts is not supportive behaviour, Jacqui.
'Just gross. Be better.'
A third simply commented: 'Wowza.'

Another user didn't hold back: 'They painted a pic of her on MAFS. Sadly, I don't think they're far off.'
Fans also took aim at Clint for his failure to immediately shut down the offensive remark.
'Clint is asking for trouble,' one person wrote.
The backlash has also reignited debate about Jacqui's behaviour throughout the season, with some calling her out for blaming editing and deflecting accountability.
