And Peter just confirmed he's officially dating Kelley again on October 14.
The Season 24 The Bachelor star posted a photo of the pair at a baseball game at Yankee Stadium in New York. Peter held the brunette beauty in his arms while they smiled lovingly at each other.
Peter captioned the post, "Home Run."
In the photo, the pilot was sporting an all-black outfit with a Yankee hat, while the former Chicago-based attorney wore a white turtleneck, gray coat, jeans, and black boots.
The Bachelorette alum Clay Harbor joked in the comments, "Does this game ever end??!!"
And Bachelor in Paradise star Victoria Fuller joked, "I told you if you wear her down long enough she'll give... good job buddy."
Kelley, for her part, uploaded images on Instagram Stories of her time with Peter in New York.
She later uploaded a photo with Peter via Instagram on Sunday in which the couple was posing together in front of a festive Halloween display at the Empire State Building.
"Who would've thought, cuz not me," Kelley wrote alongside the picture.
Peter commented on Kelley's post, "Does this mean I get a follow back now?"

Peter and Kelley made their relationship Instagram official after attending the Global Lyme Alliance (GLA) Gala on Thursday, October 13 designed to raise funds and awareness for those fighting Lyme disease, which Kelley was diagnosed with last year.
Peter wore a black tuxedo to the event, and Kelley looked beautiful in a strapless gown.

"Kelley couldn't deny their chemistry," the source said.
"Peter and Kelley reunited a few months ago and the relationship progressed slowly over the summer. They are committed to each other and are back together."
The source explained how The Bachelor couples feels "less pressure this time around."
"They have been easing back into a relationship," the source shared. "They are currently long distance but have been traveling together. Both of them travel a lot and have made it a point to meet up."
Us Weekly reported late last month that Peter and Kelley are "full-on back together."
Peter has reportedly been "planning fun dates" with Kelley and the lovebirds are having "a lot of fun together" since reconnecting.
"Peter wants to be in a serious committed relationship and his feelings for Kelley never went away," the insider told Us at the time, adding, "They're both happy and looking forward to where things go this time around."
Peter and Kelley also attended The Bachelorette alum Tyler Cameron's gala for the Andrea Cameron Foundation last week. (Tyler's mother Andrea died recently after a brain aneurysm).
Fans may be surprised about Peter and Kelley's reunion because their breakup was a bad one.
After quarantining together at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Peter and Kelley went Instagram official for the first time in May 2020.
After eight months of dating, Kelley and Peter announced their split on New Year's Eve 2021.
However, the pair briefly reconciled and gave their relationship another shot, until Kelley and Peter's romance ended for good around Valentine's Day in February of last year.

Kelley said on the "Chicks in the Office" podcast in May 2021 that her relationship with Peter ended "really badly" and she had told Peter to "get out of my life and lose my number" when they split.
Kelley also insisted she'd "just run" from the children's book author -- whom she claimed has childlike-hobbies such as collecting Pokemon cards and playing video games -- if she ever bumped into him in the streets of New York.
Things turned nasty when Peter addressed Kelley's biting remarks during a May 2021 episode of his "Bachelors in the City" podcast, telling his listeners that Kelley seemed to be riding the fame wave and trying to push headlines with her "calculated and disingenuous" statements.
Kelley subsequently called Peter "extremely disrespectful" on social media, but she and Peter ultimately wished each other the best and moved on.
Back in May 2022, Kelley described the downfall of her relationship with Peter.
While Kelley noted it wasn't "one specific thing" that led to their demise, she told Mike Johnson and Bryan Abasolo on the "Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation" podcast, "I think it was just a lot of little things. You know what? Peter and I had a lot of fun, but I don't know if, like, I looked up to him in a way that I wanted to look up to my spouse."
Kelley elaborated on how she has that type of admiration for her brothers and her father.
"If I'm in a moment where I need some sound advice and I'm like, 'Okay, who can I go to advise me on this super important decision of my life?' Peter was just, like, fun and games," Kelley explained.
"I could go with him and have fun, but I just think I want more of a man that I look up to."
Kelley suggested that when she attempted to confide in the airline pilot, he wouldn't give her the type of advice that she'd been looking for.
"I didn't look up to Peter in the way that I have always hoped to look up to my husband," Kelley reiterated.

She clarified how Peter was "actually really smart when it came to aviation" and he "used to teach [her] a lot" when they'd go flying.
"Peter is smart, but I don't know. I think I just need someone who is a little more serious-natured," Kelley said.
At the time, Kelley hadn't "heard from" Peter or any of his family at all..
Peter placed third on Hannah Brown's The Bachelorette season before starring as the Bachelor in 2020.
Peter and Kelley briefly met at a wedding venue before The Bachelor's 24th season began airing, so they wondered if their relationship was destined, but Kelley ended up placing fifth on Peter's season because she had trouble opening up and being herself on-camera.
Peter proposed marriage to model Hannah Ann Sluss during his The Bachelor finale, but he broke up with her while his season was airing in January 2020.
Peter proceeded to have a one-night fling with Hannah and then attempt to reconcile with his The Bachelor runner-up, Madison Prewett.
However, Peter and Madison's revived romance never really got off the ground when they talked about getting back together on his March 2020 After the Final Rose special. (Madison is now engaged to a man outside of Bachelor Nation named Grant Troutt, a speaker and aspiring pastor).
