The Bachelor's Blake Garvey has taken to social media to gush about new girlfriend Louise Pillidge - with an appropriately romantic photo of the couple to match.

Posting his first Instagram photo of the loved-up pair canoodling yesterday (his third in total), Garvey didn't hold back:

"So much love for this amazing woman," Garvey wrote.

"She takes my breath away every day. @louisepillidge #love #happiness #thebachelorau," he captioned the picture of the couple hugging on a deckchair, above.

Following her boyfriend's lead, Louise reciprocated the social media love by sharing her own romantic selfie.

“Love @blakegarvey #thebachelorau #happiness #love,” she wrote alongside the photo.

The Perth-based stripper turned real estate agent is expected to step out with Pillidge for the first time since becoming a couple at the Melbourne Cup today. The outing will mark the couple's first public appearance together since announcing their romance following Blake's messy split with jilted fiance Sam Frost last month.

The photo is only his third post to his 16,000 Instagram followers.

Garvey proposed to Sam Frost on the Ten reality show, only to dump her before the finale went to air. He wrote a letter to third-placed Pillidge saying it was a mistake to send her home and eventually the pair reunited in Thailand.
