The pair have fuelled romance rumours for weeks after attending Daily Mail Australia's reunion party last month.

On Tuesday, the 35-year-old Gold Coast groom lifted the lid about their unlikely friendship.

'Jamie is an absolute babe and I would be very lucky to be in a romantic relationship with her... but at this point in time, we are just close friends,' he told 9Entertainment.

'I'm not in any kind of position to be navigating a romantic relationship but I wouldn't rule anything out. I am absolutely loving going on this journey with Jamie by my side.'

Eliot spoke highly of his relationship with Jamie and said their friendship had grown since meeting during filming last year.

'We were sort of friends during the show but we were never really close,' he said. 

Eliot said it was when MAFS began airing they each started to understand each other as they watched their respective marriages play out on television.

'Watching the show made me feel for Jamie,' Eliot said. 

'We actually didn't have each other's number, [Jamie] reached out to one of the other cast members and got my number.' 

'She kind of said the same thing to me. She really empathised with my situation in the experiment and we just struck up this friendship that was really natural.'

It comes just days after the couple teased engagement news while attending Australian Fashion Week. 

The couple exclusively spoke to Daily Mail Australia about their relationship while attending the annual fashion event at Sydney's Carriageworks last week. 

Jamie revealed she had actually gotten married at the location, wedding her TV husband Dave Hand at the beginning of the season.

Upon returning to the venue with Eliot, who was initially paired with Lauren Hall and then Veronica Cloherty on the show, the resident season 12 funny-girl that it brought back memories of her nuptials - leaving a certain thought lingering in her head. 

'I was hoping Eliot might propose,' she joked, which prompted fits of giggles from the pair.

But the TV groom was more than happy to play along with the jest. 

'This will get some clicks,' he joked as he got down on one knee, reenacting an engagement on the Carriageways' railway tracks.
