Earlier this week, the couple was also spotted shopping at Target together.
“If on BIP couple spoiling their ending wasn’t enough, here was one at Target this past Monday,” Reality Steve posted on Twitter .
Daily Mail also released photos of Murray and Stanton leaving a hotel in Palm Springs , California last weekend. The couple enjoyed a romantic stay at the Parker hotel and Murray was photographed helping load up Stanton’s kids into their car.
Murray wore a turquoise t-shirt and shorts during the outing while Stanton rocked a short black dress.

The photos are clear evidence that Murray’s romance with Stanton is still going strong weeks after filming for Bachelor in Paradise wrapped. The biggest question remaining is whether or not the pair promised to tie the knot during the season finale.
While their engagement has not been confirmed, Josh Murray has moved into Stanton’s apartment in Irvine, California. He also admitted that he could commit to a long term relationship with Stanton .
“Things are going amazing,” Murray shared. “I 100 percent believe that Amanda is somebody I could spend the rest of my life with.”
Stanton couldn’t agree more with Murray’s comments.
“He’s so dedicated and loyal,” she stated. “He’s sweet and thoughtful and caring – it’s not just something he turns on for the cameras.”
Of course, Murray’s relationship with Stanton has not been drama free.
While their romance heated up on Bachelor in Paradise , some of Stanton’s co-stars tried to warn her about Murray’s shady past.
As fans will recall, Murray was engaged to Andi Dorfman after winning The Bachelorette in 2014. However, after six months together, Dorfman and Murray ended their engagement.

Murray went on to find love in reality TV while Dorfman wrote a tell-all memoir about her time with Murray.
In the book, Dorfman claims that Murray was emotionally abusive and that she eventually left him because of his controlling ways.
Murray quickly denied the allegations, calling Dorfman’s memoir a “work of fiction,” while Stanton revealed that she isn’t “too worried” about Dorfman’s claims.
Based on the recent public outings, it doesn’t look like Stanton was worried enough to end her relationship with Murray.
Instead, an insider told TMZ that Murray does propose to Stanton during the season finale of Bachelor in Paradise .
Apparently, the couple tried to keep their relationship a secret after filming was over, but Stanton’s children were getting anxious about all the secrecy.
Meanwhile, Murray wasn’t the only suitor that tried to win Stanton’s heart on Bachelor in Paradise .
According to Us Magazine , Murray’s old rival and the next star of The Bachelor , Nick Viall, first tried to connect with Stanton on the show.

Their relationship, however, quickly fizzled out once Murray arrived on set. In fact, Stanton revealed that things didn’t work out with Viall because he wouldn’t stop talking about other women on their dates.
She also claims that he only showed affection once the cameras were rolling.
The two-part season finale of Bachelor in Paradise airs Monday and Tuesday night on ABC.
