The Bachelorette alum Luke Pell apparently has a new girlfriend -- or at least he's proud to show off the new woman in his life.

Luke, who competed for JoJo Fletcher on The Bachelorette's twelfth season in 2016 and also appeared on The Bachelor Winter Games in 2018, is dating on-air host Amanda Mertz.

Luke posted a photo of the new couple Wednesday on his Instagram account.

"Date night on a Wednesday in Tampa, FL," Luke captioned the image of the pair attending an event put on by Pandora and Ashley Furniture Home Store. "Who knew."

According to a source, Luke and Amanda were set up by mutual friends "about a year ago," Us Weekly reported.

"They went on a blind date to a hockey game in Nashville and then started dating this summer," added the source.

Luke and Amanda apparently received a lot of support from fans, with people commenting they are a "gorgeous" and "beautiful" couple.

Luke's new romance comes two months after his breakup with Holly Allen. The former on-again, off-again couple reportedly called it quits on their relationship in early May.

"They moved in together into Luke's place in Nashville and it was cool at first, but they learned they just weren't compatible like that on a day to day basis," an insider told E! News at the time.

"They both realized that they didn't see this working out in the long term, so they quietly broke up."

"Holly knows this is the best for her," a second source had told E! News. "She realized he wasn't the person that she thought he was and that the person who he portrays on TV is not his authentic self."

Luke and Holly had reconciled early this year after he "ghosted" on Stassi Yaramchuk following their appearance on The Bachelor Winter Games.

Luke and Stassi appeared to leave The Bachelor Winter Games as a strong and solid couple, having engaged in long conversations and bonded over their similar heart conditions.

However, during the show's reunion special in February, Stassi told host Chris Harrison she had never heard from Luke after The Bachelor Winter Games finished filming in December.

Luke -- who has been the subject of public "player" and "cheater" accusations before -- told People that after The Bachelor Winter Games wrapped, he realized his heart really belonged to Holly the whole time, which was an explanation he attempted to use to justify why he gave Stassi the cold shoulder when she confronted him about his behavior on the reunion special.

Luke was also previously linked to former The Bachelor bachelorette Danielle Lombard in March 2017. He and Danielle, however, never got serious or became an item.
