They failed to find lasting love on The Bachelor New Zealand, but could there now be romance blossoming between Jordan Mauger and Lily McManus?

The flirty reality TV stars were spotted enjoying the summer sunshine on a cosy date in Auckland’s Ponsonby, sparking rumours they might be an item.

“There was no kissing, but they definitely looked pretty familiar with each other,” an onlooker tells Woman’s Day. “They were fooling around, trying on hats, then they ended up at a bar. It looked like they were having a blast.”

Jordan, 34, and Lily, 21, starred on two different seasons of the hit local series and only met for the first time last month, when they flew to Vermont to film The Bachelor Winter Games. The new spin-off will see stars from international versions of the franchise compete in snow-focused sports while also cosying up against the cold.

Since returning home, the fun-loving pair have been inseparable, becoming firm fixtures on each other’s social media accounts and even hosting a joint garage sale, where Jordan tried on one of Lily’s old dresses. But has she got into his pants? Watch this space!

Lily shared this pic of the Bachelor to advertise their joint garage sale in Auckland.

“Next Bachelorette?” Jordan wrote on this tongue-in-cheek Instagram post of Lily holding a rose.
