"Come enjoy wine and a very good time with Hellen at The Candle Bar!!! @paddywaxcandlebar," Amber captioned the Instagram slideshow.
Amber's marriage to Matthew Gwynne on Married at First Sight's latest season that was set in Charlotte, NC ended in divorce, as did Will's relationship with Jasmine McGriff on the Lifetime series' eighth season which was set in Philadelphia, PA.
Amber has also apparently become friends with Season 8 Married at First Sight participant Luke Cuccurullo, who called Will and Amber "adorable" in the comments section of Amber's post.
However, Amber clarified in the comments section that she is not dating anyone right now -- at least not seriously.
"If y'all read the comments she's single," wrote one follower.
"Thank you!!!!! So single!" Amber replied.
Many of Amber's followers who had assumed she was dating Will criticized her for making "bad decisions" and having "low expectations" when it comes to men.
"U hop from one bad decision to another. Poppin up with a new dude who was also clearly emotionally unavailable and too immature for marriage is not living your best life," one follower wrote.
"Your example is setting women waaaaay back... u choose to continue to pick the bottom of the barrel."
While Matt had checked out of his marriage to Amber quite early on in the Married at First Sight process and treated her poorly, Will didn't seem to invest in his marriage to Jasmine either.

Not only was Will reluctant to get physical with his wife Jasmine during their season, but he struggled to find depth and communicate his feelings well in their relationship.
Some might argue Will was emotionally unavailable, but his supporters say it was clear he just wasn't into Jasmine.
But Amber shot back, "All because we are doing a promo for a candle company you're assuming I'm making bad decisions?"
The same follower trashed Amber further by writing, "We've seen you post in the stories like he is YOUR man. We all wanna know, so 'own it girl' if this match is true... Can't save her . .she dont wanna be saved."
"And since I have your attention, how could ANY self respecting woman after watching Season 8 and seeing what you experienced in Season 9 be friends with Luke???? That's even more disturbing. We just wanna see u HAPPY!!! U deserve better than a connection with Luke, Will, Matt...if this is your circle, dont be mad at what u attract."
Amber reacted to the post by insisting, "I don't have a man nor do I want a man at this point in my life."
Amber said she has just been learning, growing and making new friends.

Luke married Kate Sisk on Season 8 of Married at First Sight but was not physically attracted to her.
Married at First Sight viewers watched Kate's heart break week after week as she fell for Luke and he in turn seemingly strung her along despite having little hope they'd end up together.
"So as much as what you see is true, there's just not enough time to paint the WHOLE picture on tv," Amber continued in her response.
"Unfortunately no matter what I say you're going to villainize me based on the small amount of info you have about me."
A different person then accused Married at First Sight of having issues because the experts haven't paired up any interracial couples so far.
"Stop putting these black men with black women when clearly they want a white woman!" the follower wrote, adding that Amber should be free to date Will if she'd like to.
"Thank you! And I specifically asked for a black man and I got Matt!" Amber revealed. "Thanks for supporting me."
The tenth season of Married at First Sight will premiere January 1 on Lifetime and feature couples who live in the Washington, D.C area.
The series has also been picked up for an eleventh edition, which will also air next year and likely be filmed in New Orleans, LA, based on a recent casting call.

After meeting for the first time on their big day, each couple gets married and the next six to eight weeks of their lives are documented -- beginning with their wedding ceremony, reception and honeymoon, and continuing with the joys and struggles of daily life as they move in together and adjust to their new life as newlyweds.
Married at First Sight's ninth season ended with two couples choosing to get a divorce on "Decision Day": Amber and Matt as well as Iris Caldwell and Keith Manley.
However, the season's other two couples -- Elizabeth Bice and Jamie Thompson as well as Deonna McNeill and Gregory Okotie -- opted to remain married.
