"Bachelor" alums Dean Unglert and Lesley Murphy are revealed to be dating less than a month before the premiere of "The Bachelor: Winter Games," where the two met.

The new pair was spotted together at Chase Sapphire on Main Party at the Sundance Film Festival held in Park City, Utah last Friday, Jan. 19.

A source told Us Weekly that Unglert and Murphy stood away from the crowd and talked only to each other. "They were holding walking through the party and looked very much like a couple," the insider added.

Looks like Unglert, who launched last September a podcast called "Help! I suck at dating," has found the right assistance he needs after all. The two seem to adore each other a lot as they have been exchanging likes over at Instagram since December.

Meantime, a source told E! News that the new couple was not supposed to be seen together in public just yet. Now that their dating has been revealed, they are reportedly worried "about being busted at Sundance."

Describing the couple's relationship, the insider said, "Dean is really happy with Lesley. They are both very goofy and have a lot of fun together." The source added that the two have been spending a lot of time together since they finished filming "Winter Games."

"Things are pretty serious and they are exclusive as of now," the source shared.

Unglert first appeared in Rachel Lindsay's season of "The Bachelorette." Last year, he made news after being caught in a love triangle with Kristina Schulman and Danielle Lombard in "Bachelor in Paradise."

Murphy was first seen in Bachelor Nation in 2013, when she was a contestant for Sean Lowe's season of "The Bachelor."

Find out how their romance began in "The Bachelor: Winter Games," which will premiere on Feb. 13, Tuesday, 8 p.m. EDT. The spin-off will feature international and American contenders as they seek to find love amid various winter-themed missions and games.
