The Golden Bachelor stars Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden and Sunny Long have gone public with their relationship after he picked her during Sunday night’s finale.

The reality TV stars have now confirmed they have been secretly dating for months, waiting for the Channel Nine dating series to finish airing before going public.

Sunny, 58, shared a gallery of photos to social media on Monday morning which captured her embracing and kissing the Canadian-born engineer, 61.

The pair beamed in the pictures, which Sunny captioned with some revealing words.

‘After 7 months of dating in secret, we can finally be public and tell the world we are happily together!’ the CEO wrote.

Many of their followers took to the comment section to offer their congratulations.

‘I had a feeling!! I’m so happy for you guys!’ one person wrote.

‘YAYYYY go Sunny!! You deserve all the happiness!’ a second added.

It comes after Bear publicly chose Sunny during the nail-biting Golden Bachelor finale on Sunday night. 

And the couple have revealed that they are still together – and kept their love alive in the months since filming on the reality show ended with a series of secret hookups.

The engineer and his CEO ladylove have met up in a series of spicy Airbnb dates.

‘There were a few secret meetings at Airbnbs. We had to show up at different times and sort of rush in,’ Sunny told Woman’s Day on Sunday.

‘We couldn’t stand by the windows. I think you said it was a bit of fun sneaking around, there was a bit of excitement?’ she added, addressing Bear.

‘You know, it was a bit, he’s Mr Bond and I’m his Bond girl.’

In a shock confession, Bear even hinted that marriage may be in their future.

‘We’ve got a lot of things to discuss,’ he told the publication of a possible engagement between them.

Sunny confirmed that the pair ‘have huge feelings for each other’ but are taking things slowly – for now.

‘Both of us want to see our love grow organically, so we’re going to take it one step at a time,’ she said.

In a truly heart-warming moment during Sunday’s finale, Bear confessed his feelings to Sunny as he picked her as his final lady.

‘You amaze me with your resilience. You blow me away. You’re a force of nature. You deserve somebody to lift you up and never clip your wings,’ Bear told a tearful Sunny.

‘When I think about the future, I can’t imagine doing it without you.’

Sobbing, Sunny said:  ‘For me, my dark days are gone and bright days are here because of you. I can’t wait to go on this journey with you in life.’

A pivotal moment came when runner-up Janette was finally able to confess her feelings and told Bear she was in fact falling for him.

Janette said that she was waiting for that ‘kiss that takes your breath away’ – and the two of them shared that kiss just hours before Bear made his final choice.

However, it was too late, as Bear had his heart set on Sunny.
