In the photo, Clare had her arms wrapped around Dale and she was noticeably wearing the big engagement ring Dale had proposed marriage with on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season last summer.
Dale captioned the image, "This makes me happy," after he said on Instagram last week he could "get used to" life in Hawaii with Clare.
The very next day, Clare posted her first photo of Dale on her own Instagram account since their January split.
Clare uploaded a picture of her dog sprawled out on Dale's legs while he was relaxing on a couch.
"The boys," Clare wrote in the caption, before adding a blue-heart emoji.
Although Clare previously hinted about her reconciliation with Dale on Instagram Stories -- including an April video that showed off her engagement ring while eating crackers -- her latest post seems to be Clare's way of becoming Instagram official with Dale again.
For Dale's part, he appeared to confirm he's back together with Clare on April 7 when he posted a mirror selfie of the couple drinking coffee together on Instagram Stories.
"Selfie skills on," Dale wrote alongside the shot.
Following the pair's January breakup, Clare and Dale were spotted holding hands and going on dates in February. The duo spent time together in New York City as well as Florida.

RELATED LINK: 'THE BACHELORETTE' COUPLES NOWDuring a recent appearance on the Hollywood Raw podcast with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn, Dale shared that "everyone will know in due time" about where his relationship with Clare really stands.
"We're just living life and we're doing it and being present with one another. It's been great to go about it that way," Dale explained.
Dale also confirmed he and Clare are "in a good place" and she still owns her Neil Lane engagement ring from the show.
In addition, Dale denied ever cheating on Clare given rumors circulated he had been unfaithful to The Bachelorette alum following their engagement and that played a big role in their breakup.
"That was never a conversation, even when we went through our split. It wasn't even a thing. You really have to look past that and focus on one another. I mean, that sucked," Dale said on the podcast.
"When things are going at your character, and something you're completely against, those are the hardest things to handle."
Dale, however, expressed relief those rumors were "short-lived" and claimed he doesn't lose sleep at night over things that are not truthful or in his character to do.
A source told Us Weekly in March that nothing had been "made official with regards to an engagement."

Dale announced his split from Clare on January 19, saying the pair had arrived at "the healthiest decision" for the "both" of them, but then Clare revealed two days later she had been blindsided by Dale's public statement.
Clare wrote on Instagram, "I was made aware of a 'mutual' statement at the same time you all were, so I've needed some time to really digest this."
Clare admitted she was "crushed" by the breakup given her intentions to settle down with Dale and start a family had "always been very clear."
The Season 16 The Bachelorette star added that she had been "genuinely invested with all of [her] heart" into Dale and their relationship, although it "was not perfect."
Multiple sources had described Dale as a "fame-seeker," according to E! News.
It's been widely reported Dale "broke it off" with Clare because he wanted to continue living in New York City while Clare felt the need to stay in Sacramento, CA, and tend to her mother, who battles Alzheimer's disease.
"[Dale] doesn't want to give up the party life. He loves the NYC scene," a source told E! News earlier this year. "His partying would be a problem in their relationship and would cause many fights."
And the E! News source noted of Clare, "She just wants to get married, settle down and have children. They were on complete different pages."

Dale insisted on his Instagram Stories at the time that the split "didn't come out of nowhere" and he was struggling to move on, according to Us.
"I love Clare and respect Clare enough to let her know how I feel, even if that's against the expectations of everybody else, and it's gonna take time," Dale reportedly shared on January 25.

Dale subsequently broke down to his followers in an Instagram video and said he was "hurting."
"This has f-cking rocked me. I felt so many emotions, so much guilt, but also so much confusion, so much hurt, and I know that we both have... But the reality of it is, life isn't perfect," Dale reportedly lamented, on the verge of tears.
"And we make mistakes. I've made a lot of them, I know we all do. My pops would always say you gotta hurt before you heal. I've been f-cking hurting. A lot."
One month after announcing their breakup, a source told Us that Dale and Clare were working on their relationship, "spending time together" and "figuring things out."
"Dale has been pretty secretive with friends when they're asking if he's back with Clare, but it's obvious to everyone that they're back together," a source said in February.

Clare was convinced she had met her future husband when Dale stepped out of a limo on Night 1 of The Bachelorette's sixteenth season and took her breath away.
Clare's journey on the show ended prematurely after about two weeks with a steamy overnight date with Dale that led to Dale getting down on one knee and proposing marriage seemingly the next day.
Once Tayshia Adams took over Clare's The Bachelorette season, Clare and Dale sat down with host Chris Harrison during a November 2020 episode and expressed how they both believed they had found love at first sight.
When Chris asked what was next for the couple, Clare immediately shouted, "Babies!"
But Dale noted he'd like to get married before welcoming children.

"And when I met Clare, I knew I was all in. She lights a fire in me that I was missing for so long."
Dale recently claimed he had turned down the opportunity to compete on The Bachelorette multiple times after being nominated for the show but changed his mind once Clare was announced as the show's sixteenth-season star in March 2020.
Prior to getting involved with Dale, Clare had been engaged to The Bachelor Winter Games bachelor Benoit Beausejour-Savard.
Clare and Benoit announced their decision to split in April 2018 after being engaged for only a month and a half.
Clare had also competed on Juan Pablo Galavis' season of The Bachelor and appeared on multiple seasons of Bachelor in Paradise.
