Two Bachelor Contestants Decided They Liked Each Other More Than the Guy They Were Competing For

I have a love-hate relationship with The Bachelor. On the one hand, it's total frothy fun, stuffed with operatic drama that never gets old. But on the other hand, it's incredibly dated. Two dozen smart women competing for the affection of one dopey, hunky man? It's hard to believe such a regressive show even exists in 2016, but the people want what they want. Can the couples formed on The Bachelor at least stay together, though? If I'm going to keep watching The Bachelor—which, let's be honest, I will—I need to see some hot people ~true love~.
Which is why these two contestants from Australia's latest iteration of The Bachelor are giving me such life. They blew up the anti-feminist format of The Bachelor by doing something unprecedented: falling in love with each other—finally, a Bachelor relationship I can 100 percent support!
Mashable reports that Megan Marx and Tiffany James, former contestants from Australia's most recent Bachelor season, ditched the dope carrying roses for a whirlwind romance with each other. And they've been documenting their relationship on social media for months.
"From that first cocktail party [on The Bachelor], it was like this instant calibration between souls, as if we had known each other once before," Marx captioned a photo on Instagram of herself and James. "Friendship ripened into something bolder, trust in a very strange situation was formed, and now every adventure we have rivals the other—and continues to make plans for itself."
James posted a photo of the duo that is equally as adorable. She even called Marx her "favorite human," if you needed another reason to bawl over the beauty of this union.
There are many more cute and couple-y photos where these came from. (Though, to be clear, I don't know for sure if these two are officially a couple. I assume they're romantic, but the extent of their relationship is a mystery.) Check out this snapshot of them frolicking by the water. My imaginary S.O. and I could never.
And here they are sitting in the sand, looking goals AF.
Whether these girls are an exclusive couple or simply enjoying each other's company, their relationship is a major win for women. Nick Viall, who?
