Taylor looked stunning in a white tank top and denim shorts, while Joseph showed off his muscles in blue jeans and no shirt. The pair smiled, embraced and looked at each other with love in the pictures.
"Being in a long distance relationship with Joseph barely even feels like there's any distance at all," Taylor, 27, told Us on Sunday.
And Joseph, a 25-year-old law school graduate and fitness enthusiast, gushed about his feelings for the beauty queen and Big Brother winner.
"I can't believe it's been nearly 3 months since being out of the Big Brother house, and December 1 marked our one-month anniversary," Joseph shared.
"I can't believe her birthday and the new year are already around the corner. Time is flying and I am so grateful to have her by my side. It feels like yesterday when I asked her to be mine."
Joseph said he's been having a blast with Taylor ever since Big Brother ended in late September.
"Introducing each other into our lives outside of the Big Brother house has been such a joy," Joseph explained. "We have shared so many laughs and experiences in such a short time, and I'm looking forward to a lifetime of it with her."
Taylor also boasted of her boyfriend, "The way Joseph loves me is unlike any relationship I've been in."

Taylor apparently continues to fall for Joseph more with each passing day.

Every moment with Joseph is a delight. He has my heart forever," Taylor said.
Once Taylor and Joseph reunited outside of the Big Brother house, they were inseparable but claimed they wanted to take their time in getting to know each other. The pair traveled to Disney and went on a cruise, but they said they didn't want to rush into putting a label on their playful and fun dynamic.
And then in early November, Taylor and Joseph confirmed they're in a romantic relationship.
"My connection with Joseph has been undeniable, and I knew from the moment he kissed me on finale night that we'd find a way to be together," Taylor told People last month.
"His heart is bigger than the galaxy, and now we have the privilege of sharing our hearts with each other. I love him so much -- I'm the happiest I've ever been."
And Joseph gushed of the Big Brother winner, "From the moment I saw Taylor, I knew she was something special."
"Our spark started within the show and we decided to wait until after the game. Since then, we have only gotten closer and confirmed what we already knew," Joseph continued.
Joseph said of the personal stylist and former Miss Michigan USA at the time, "She is a remarkable woman that I am so grateful to call mine. She may have won Big Brother, but I won so much more."

Taylor became the first Black female to win a regular season of Big Brother in September. She won a total of $800,000 because fans also voted her to be "America's Favorite Houseguest."
However, Taylor didn't have an easy time in the house considering she was on the chopping block repeatedly and felt bullied by some of her housemates.
Taylor also had a big crush on Joseph during the season, but she was wrongly led to believe he had betrayed her and thrown their "Leftovers" alliance under the bus.
Taylor told People in September she never would've had a "temporary showmance" with the season's runner-up, Monte Taylor, had she seen the full picture and known Joseph never let her down.
"Joseph really was my rock, my sanity. He didn't need to be in the beginning," Taylor gushed.
"So knowing that my initial assumption about Joseph not turning on me was true, had I known circumstances were different, I probably would not have ended up in a second temporary showmance."
Taylor shared how she had "such a soft spot" for Joseph at the time.
"I'm hopeful that whether we're friends or something more, we're going to be deeply, deeply connected forever now," Taylor said.
Taylor won Big Brother in a landslide 8-1 jury vote over Monte. Matthew "Turner" Turner was the only jury member who cast a vote for Monte to win.
