Raven, a 26-year-old clothing boutique owner from Hoxie, AR, and Adam, a 27-year-old real estate agent from Dallas, TX, are currently dating, Us Weekly reported.
Although Raven and Adam have not confirmed they are romantically involved, a source told Us that they are still together and thoroughly enjoying each other's company.
The couple reportedly travel together on romantic getaways and Adam has already met Raven's parents.
While Us reported that Raven plans to meet Adam's parents in Dallas soon, Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone claimed that Raven already took that trip over Labor Day weekend.
Carbone also said that Adam was officially introduced to his girlfriend's parents on the live finale taping of Bachelor in Paradise, which will air Monday, September 11 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
Adam was allegedly surprised when Bachelor in Paradise host Chris Harrison welcomed Raven's parents onstage during the in-studio finale.
Since filming Paradise, Adam and Raven have only posted about one photo of each other on Instagram, so they've done a great job of keeping their relationship under wraps. They were, however, spotted bowling earlier this week with other Bachelor in Paradise co-stars.
After Bachelor in Paradise production shut down for almost two weeks in June due to the Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson scandal, Raven revealed she met Adam during a night out in Dallas with her good friend, Sarah Vendal.
Raven admitted on the show she was slightly interested in Adam at the time but woke up to Sarah and Adam cuddling in his living room early in the morning.
Raven was an original Paradise cast member, and when Adam arrived the first day after production resumed, he asked her out on a date. The pair really hit it off, but Raven had to choose between Adam and her first date in Paradise, Robby Hayes.
Another bachelor, Ben Zorn, was also in the mix, fighting for Raven's attention and affection.

During the second Rose Ceremony, Adam went with his gut and chose to continue dating Raven. Sarah was hurt that Adam didn't choose her, but he seemingly made the right choice since he and Raven grew to be inseparable on the show.
Raven initially competed for Nick Viall's heart on The Bachelor and finished as the runner-up. Adam appeared on Rachel Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette earlier this year, but he was eliminated before the men's round of hometown dates.
