The photos featured Liz and her new man, whom she chose not to identify by name in her post, walking in Times Square during a trip to New York City together.
Liz also uploaded pictures of the couple attending formal events -- including what appeared to be a wedding -- playing games at a casino, dressing in matching costumes, and posing with Liz's 11-year-old daughter Ryleigh.
Supportive and congratulatory messages poured in from fans as well as fellow 90 Day Fiance cast members.
Kalani Faagata commented, "I love seeing you be treated how you deserve. Love this so much."
Liz has gone through two divorces and a broken engagement to Ed, but the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star -- who was admittedly attracted to "red flags" in men whom she needed to "fix" -- is determined not to repeat the same patterns and let history repeat itself.
Liz publicly announced she's in a new relationship on February 11 by wishing her partner a happy birthday through several posts via Instagram Stories.
Alongside one photo of the man's arms wrapped around her waist, Liz wrote, "I hope his mom knows that her son is taking good care of someone's daughter."
And Liz also uploaded a picture of herself hugging her boyfriend, gushing about how she was "SO IN LOVE."
Liz recently gushed to Entertainment Tonight about how her new relationship with Jason is healthy and thriving.

When asked how Jason responded to finding out she was previously engaged to Ed, Liz recalled, "He said, 'If I ever speak to you the way that Ed has spoken to you, you better go tell my family and walk away from me right away.'"

Liz added, "He said I don't ever have to worry about feeling the way I did and that he'll always grow with me as a person."
Liz boasted about how Jason has been by her side through highs and lows, and that he hasn't tried to change anything about her.
"He's allowed me to go through every emotion," Liz said, adding how she even felt safe enough to "cry about Ed" to her new man.
In a prior interview with ET, Ed predicted that Liz's new romance "won't last" because he said she needed to "work on" things in order to not repeat her past relationship mistakes.
"I don't think Ed's walked past a mirror," Liz snapped. "Don't give advice if you can't take your own advice. I don't appreciate those comments... I think he needs to take that self-reflection."

Liz admitted that she found herself missing Ed sometimes, but after more than a dozen breakups and makeups, she'll never revisit her relationship with Ed and give him another chance.
"I don't see myself ever being friends with Ed. There is a lot of hurt in that... I don't think Ed is a good partner. I don't think he'll ever make a great partner," Liz said.
She continued, "He only loves himself, so he can only make changes for him. There is a reason why he's been single for such a long time... [Ladies], just run!"
But Liz assured ET that she had no regrets about her on-again, off-again romance with Ed and she's since "closed that chapter" of her life, especially after reuniting with Ed and hashing things out on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s Tell-All special for Season 8, which has yet to air on TLC.

Liz shared how she's come a long way since her "very traumatic" split with Ed and learned many valuable life lessons. Not only did she start going to therapy, but she also jumped back into health and fitness.
Liz also shared how she speaks her mind now and doesn't let men cross her boundaries.
Liz concluded that she's able to work, hang out with her friends, and talk about how she's feeling without judgment from Jason. She teased how fans will see her "very happy" at the Tell-All.
Ed, a San Diego native who is currently working as a realtor in Arkansas, also hinted he was seeing someone new in January.
"Well, I met somebody and she came out for New Year's. But that's tight-lipped," Ed said, according to People.
Ed thought he had found the love of his life in Rosemarie Vega, who was a 23-year-old single mom from the Philippines at the time, but the pair split up on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' fourth season.
During the Spring 2021 season of 90 Day: The Single Life, Ed asked Liz -- a restaurant employee whom Ed had been crushing on and previously took out on a couple of dates -- to be his girlfriend.

And then on Season 2 of 90 Day: The Single Life, Ed went on a few dates with new women. However, after his beloved dog Teddy passed away, Liz was there for him, and so the pair agreed to try again.
The couple then got engaged in August 2021 and confirmed the news to People in November 2021.
The couple was looking forward to getting married on Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, but many of their loved ones -- including Ed's mother -- disapproved of their relationship.
Ed and Liz also got into a huge fight during their engagement party, which resulted in another breakup and Liz throwing her engagement ring into a bush.
The couple, however, couldn't let go of each other, and so they discussed moving out of San Diego in order to have a "fresh start."
But on the Season 7 Tell-All, which filmed in Fall 2022 but aired in January 2023 -- Liz revealed Ed had broken up with her again and asked her to move out of his place in San Diego.
Ed and Liz called it quits onstage during Part 2 of the Tell-All, with Liz lamenting, "I'm tired of all the lies and deflection and projection."
Liz called Ed "a liar" and insisted it was going to be their "last breakup," but they got back together and were later spotted holding hands in San Diego. Liz also revealed Ed had bought her a new engagement ring in December 2022.
Ed and Liz were shown planning their wedding on the currently-airing 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s eighth season, but Ed realized after a silly fight about "taco pasta" being too spicy for Liz's daughter that they weren't a good match for each other and their relationship was never going to last.
Ed therefore called off the wedding without consulting with Liz first and received his deposit for the venue back.
Liz, who appeared totally shocked and devastated, proceeded to move out of Ed's Arkansas home, reluctant and fearful to start over in her dating life.
