Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for Season 7 of The Circle.

With a new season of The Circle comes a sizzling new showmance! For the Netflix reality show's seventh season, it looks like Darian Holt and Jadejha Edwards are totally smitten with each other, both in the game and off-screen.

The dynamic duo hit it off immediately, teaming up and promising to have each other's backs in the game. Their chemistry quickly turns flirtatious, sparking a lot of buzz among viewers. Now, everyone's eager to know: Are Darian and Jadejha dating in real life?

We've got some great news, folks: Darian and Jadejha have taken their showmance into the real world! After the Season 7 finale, Jadejha shared with Entertainment Weekly that they’ve been dating for a year, and Darian is even hinting at a proposal.

"We've been dating all year long, and it's been good, and he's been talking about a ring and stuff like that," Jadejha revealed. "So, I'm trying not to spoil the surprise for myself. I'm trying not to pay attention to any clues, but he's a terrible liar, so we'll see when that comes. You never know, there might be some engagement photos dropping soon."

Initially, Jadejha wasn’t looking to pursue anything with Darian after the show; she even considered blocking him!

She told the outlet, "He told me that he had just got out of a 10-year relationship the year before, and I had just stopped dating someone that I was dating for years, too."

"But then he came and we celebrated our birthdays together, and it was giving more friend vibes, truthfully," she added. "I could see us being best friends, but the fact that we were also flirting meant that there was an attraction there."

Jadejha chuckled, recalling, "So I was like, 'I should really just block this man now because this is going to turn into some toxic friends-with-benefits situationship.' And I didn't want that! My best friend was like, 'Don't block the man. Give it a try. You never know what could possibly happen.' And then it just hit the ground running."

On the other hand, Darian was much more straightforward about his feelings: "He was like, 'I want you to be my girlfriend. I want you to be my wife,'" Jadejha explained.

"And I was just like, 'OK. What's the worst that could happen at this point?'" she said. "I've done crazier things in life than move fast with a man. Let's just see where life takes us. And it's so crazy."

Since the start of The Circle, Darian and Jadejha, who proudly call themselves the "king and queen," have been deeply invested in each other. Playing as their true selves has only strengthened their connection and sparked genuine feelings between them.

When Darian first takes a look Jadejha's profile, he can't help but exclaim, "Ja-damn! She looks fine as hell. Oh my God. Jadejha, damn! Ooh, I love a beautiful Black woman, Circle."

In a similar vein, Jadejha admits her heart races when she first sees Darian's profile, saying she feels an instant connection. By Episode 2, they're already joking about being "married" and eagerly pursuing each other.

Jadejha even tells Darian that his invitation to chat made her day. His sweet response? "Well, I'm glad to have made your day. If you ever need a shoulder to lean on baby girl, you can lean on mine anytime."

The middle school teacher further cements his role as Jadejha's "knight in shining armor" and "prince charming." Ugh, we love them so much!

As the episodes roll on, Jadejha and Darian begin sharing more about their lives outside the game and discover they have a lot in common. After the influencers block Darian in Episode 9, he takes the opportunity to meet with Jadejha, and they even share a kiss! So, it's clear that they've always been fully invested in each other.

The Circle is now streaming on Netflix.
