Madison, sharing two selfies and one photo of her new blonde boyfriend holding a rose, captioned her slideshow, "Went to the beach and got myself a rose. My heart is so full."
Derek commented on the post, "You're the reason for the big cheesy smile on my face, pretty girl. It's always been you."
Many The Bachelor cast members congratulated Madison on the hard launch of her post-show romance.
"So so happy for you!!!!" Zach's runner-up Gabi Elnicki commented on the post.
Kat Izzo chimed in, "Love this for you!!!"
Brooklyn Willie wrote, "Love this!! So happy for y'all!"
And Aly Jacobs gushed, "Okay, but does he have brothers ?? Cousins?? lol Happy for you gal!"
For Derek's part, he posted photos on his own Instagram account and wrote, "Chapter 7: Worth the wait," to which Madi replied in the comments, "My favorite chapter is you."
Zach eliminated Madison, who was a 26-year-old business owner from North Dakota at the time of filming, during the first cocktail party of the season because he said he "wasn't feeling it" when she kissed him.
During Zach's Night 1 interactions, Madison interrupted his conversations with other women multiple times, which her competitors found annoying and aggressive.

"I mean, go after what you want -- but don't be that girl," Brooklyn Willie complained to the cameras.

After a "gritty" dance for The Bachelor star, Madison attempted to kiss Zach, but he only pecked her on the lips and quickly pulled back.
Madison therefore felt disappointed and deflated by the "subpar" kiss, and as the night progressed, she became increasingly more upset and started to cry.
"Madison is super sweet, but I don't know if I was feeling that kiss," Zach admitted in a confessional. "It didn't feel right. The kiss sat wrong with me. I am feeling I was overwhelmed by my conversation with Madison."
Madison continued to cry and sob to her co-stars about how she felt embarrassed.
"I want to be wanted," she complained. "I don't know what to do."
Before the Rose Ceremony was about to commence, Zach told The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer that he felt "incredible connections" in just one night -- but he apparently didn't feel one with Madison.

Zach therefore ousted Madison on the spot, taking advantage of an opportunity alone with her.
"I cannot believe that I gave up my life for him. I know what I deserve, and it's not that," Madison lamented to the cameras. "I know for a fact he doesn't know what he's missing out on. What was wrong? What did I do wrong?"
When the first Rose Ceremony commenced, Zach announced to the group how he'd never want to lead anyone on and he wished Madison all the best.

Zach said he thought Madison was beautiful and sweet, but he noted how she's not his "person" and he took The Bachelor process very seriously.
Zach ended up getting engaged to Kaity Biggar on The Bachelor's Season 27 finale. The couple plans to move in together this summer, and they're loosely planning a 2025 wedding.
