The genetically-blessed pair shared many a cute moment on screen – from holding hands during camp chats, to Maria fondly playing with Joey’s hair. They frolicked in the water together, while their biggest stan – David ‘The David’ Subritsky – watched on excitedly.
Maria and Joey discussed how many kids they’d want, and definitely shared a few kisses here and there.
With Joey going back to the UK in between filming the show and its live finale, the pair were reunited just this week and it seems like they still can’t keep their hands off each other.
Maria, Joey, and David all featured heavily on each other’s Instagram stories last night, with David mostly trying to catch any romance between his two good friends.
Maria was seen kissing Joey’s cheek while he wore a paper face mask, with David causing mischief in the background.
Maria also shared a video of herself sitting in Joey’s lap, captioning the post "with our third wheel" as she panned the camera to show David sitting in the corner, watching on.
She also added a selfie of herself and Joey this morning, with Joey planting a sweet smooch on her cheek.
Despite the cute backstage shenanigans, there’s no official word on whether Joey and Maria are pursuing a genuine romance with Maria simply saying they’ve remained in contact and agreed to "see what happens on the outside."
Until we hear more, we’ll happily take the cute selfies and backstage moments for the holiday romance it seems to be!
