Bachelor in Paradise participant Ashley Salter may have a new boyfriend that appreciates her quirkiness.

Over the last seven weeks, Salter has been sharing photos on Instagram of herself with an attractive man named Austin Brannen. The timing would seem to indicate she began dating Branen after she concluded filming Bachelor in Paradise.

Salter barely captioned any of the photos with Brannen. She'd just write things like, "happy day," or upload a photo of a rainbow and include his Instagram handle. In one image, the couple was clearly enjoying a lunch or dinner together.

Brannen also shared a photo of himself sitting with a brunette Salter at a sporting event one week ago. He wrote, "Throwbackkkk from college."

Salter may be getting the boot from Paradise next week unless a new man enters the scene and they like each other. Salter had been dating Dan Cox from the very beginning of the season, but he determined after a few weeks there were "red flags" and he was no longer certain their personalities meshed well.

Salter admitted she had been falling in love with Cox, so it was a pretty devastating blow. Her fellow cast members insisted her "crazy" came out after things didn't work out with Cox. The situation may worsen in future episodes, as Cox hit it off with Amber James on every level during their first date in Mexico.

Salter first competed on Chris Soules' edition of The Bachelor. The hairstylist's silly antics resulted in her being called "the onion girl" and host Chris Harrison has confessed on more than one occasion she's pretty much his favorite contestant of all time.
