In the photo, Rachel was cuddled up next to Carrington, and the pair were both smiling from ear to ear.
"Thank u Netflix cinematic universe," Rachel captioned her post.
Rachel threw up the Carrington photo at the very end of the carousel, prompting speculation she had intended the upload to be a bit of a tease.
"Is this a hard launch at the end??????!!" one of Rachel's followers asked.
Another Instagram user commented, "Wait where is the last pic from? I know you didn't go to a carnival on perfect match so does this mean you + Carrington are seeing each other outside of the show??"
Most of Rachel's followers seemed shocked and excited about this potential relationship, filling the comments section with support.
"Never in a million years would have put you and Carrington together but since the show I'm DYINNNNNNG to see it work out," one person wrote.
"Knew Carrington was meant to be," another fan added.
A third person commented, "I know Carrington is such a red flag but why do I feel like you could fix him and you guys would be such a hot couple?"
Carrington had a big crush on Rachel on Season 3 of Perfect Match, and he gushed about her frequently.

Rachel had matched with Ray Gantt on Perfect Match, but their romance fell apart in the real world.
Rachel recently told Elite Daily that she and Ray didn't have enough of a foundation to build on after filming.
"We were super late in the process when we formed a relationship," Rachel explained, "so it didn't have much time to progress past friendship."
During an appearance on "The Viall Files" podcast earlier this month, Rachel hinted that she was possibly dating someone from Perfect Match.
"I might be talking to someone," Rachel told former The Bachelor star Nick Viall on his podcast.
Rachel confirmed at the time, however, that her guy wasn't Freddie Powell.

Rachel and Clayton chose to match up and test if there was still a spark between them, but they crashed and burned a mere 24 hours later.
Clayton had told Rachel on the show that he was following his "intuition" things wouldn't work out between them, but during the August 7 episode of "The Viall Files" podcast, Clayton admitted "there were other things" that turned him off.

In addition to having different lifestyles, Clayton explained, "I don't think I can [say my reason aloud] because I don't think she would receive them well. I think she would feel like they are an attack."
When asked for her thoughts on Clayton's vague comments, Rachel shared during the August 13 episode of the "What's the Reality?" podcast, "I was like, 'What could it be? Do I smell? Do I have bad breath?' I could not figure out what he was talking about! It scared me."
But Rachel revealed that Clayton ultimately called her on the phone and gave her the real reason why he had dumped her again.
"The reason why Clayton feels we are incompatible -- and that he was so sure -- is because I am not a gym girly and he wants someone that lives a very active lifestyle and goes to the gym and hits the weights," Rachel said.
On The Bachelor's 26th season, Clayton had professed his love to Rachel, and also slept with her in the Fantasy Suite, before dumping her in favor of Susie Evans.
Because Rachel and Gabby Windey both left Clayton's The Bachelor season heartbroken, they went on to co-star on The Bachelorette's 19th season.
After Rachel failed to find lasting love on Bachelor in Paradise's ninth season in 2023, she appeared on Netflix's Perfect Match.
Rachel has said that Clayton humiliated her on Perfect Match, but Clayton defended his decision to end things after a single day of being matched up.
Clayton also unfollowed Rachel on social media after filming Perfect Match and recently explained why.
