At one point during the couple's stroll, Tyler leaned in for a kiss, according to photos obtained by The New York Post's Page Six.
Not only did Tyler and Paige walk arm in arm, but she also appeared to embrace him tightly when he kissed her.

Tyler was wearing a gray T-shirt and black jeans while Paige was dressed in a blue dress and sneakers.
Shortly after the photos hit the Internet, Paige addressed speculation she had staged the intimate pictures with Tyler.
Paige posted a TikTok video joking about the "foul" weather in New York City on Monday, which she described as "100 degrees, sticky, stinky and muggy," according to Us Weekly.
When a follower accused Paige of calling "the paparazzi on herself" ahead of her outing with Tyler, Paige clapped back and said, "I would probably look better in them if I did [set it up]."
Paige reportedly told another troll that "it's [been] a free for all" in her comments section since her relationship with Tyler made headlines, and she fired back at one person -- who accused her of being hungry for more followers -- "I love the grip I have on you."

Paige also boasted, "Idk [why I'm getting the hate] but I'm making a lot of money on social media so keep the hate coming girlies."

A source told Us earlier this month that Tyler and Paige had begun dating and it was "still new."
"They are keeping it on the down-low," the source claimed.
Page Six also recently reported that Tyler and Paige are "newly dating."

"They're spending time together whenever they can," an insider said. "It's not a full-blown, serious relationship because they're often in different cities, but they're having fun with it."
A second insider also insisted that the Season 15 The Bachelorette alum and Paige are "seeing each other and not just hooking up."
Tyler and Paige were reportedly first spotted kissing in Tyler's native Florida in late June, and the pair also spent Fourth of July weekend together.
Tyler's new romance comes about one year after his split from model Camila Kendra.
Tyler and Paige, who reportedly split from country singer and songwriter Morgan Wallen in February, began dating some time after late April, because Tyler called himself "very single" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show at the time.

Tyler told the show's guest host Mario Lopez that he was looking for "someone whose smile is contagious" and "can light up a room," according to E! News.
Tyler also shared that it's important how his significant other treats "the people around them."
The model and former Florida general contractor said he wanted his future girlfriend to "respect the server, the parents, their friends," and also be beautiful.

In addition, Tyler shared with E!'s Daily Pop earlier this year how he desires a woman who is "hungry and ambitious" as well as "family oriented" and "ready for an adventure."
Tyler explained back in February how he learned to "slow down" in his love life after appearing on The Bachelorette starring Hannah Brown in 2019.
"[On] The Bachelorette, you grow so fast in that relationship, like, you have to. And I think it kind of pushed me and my other relationships to kind of want to grow so fast and it's okay to slow down and take a breath," The Real Dirty Dancing alum told Us.
"[That's] something I have to work on and get better at. But yeah, slow down for sure."
Tyler said at the time he had "no love life update" other than having a "good time" with his dog.
"If [a relationship] comes, it comes. That's kind of how it hit me last time," Tyler shared.
"That's how I like it to happen... I'm in no rush right now. I'm so busy, so focused and excited for this [year] -- it's gonna be a big year. I feel it, it's gonna be good."

Tyler was allegedly dumped by Camila in August 2021 after eight months of dating.
Camila appeared to break up with Tyler shortly after he publicly announced that he was "very in love" with her.
"Things were going well until they weren't," an insider told the magazine last summer. "Friends were surprised things ended so quickly."
Tyler finished Hannah's season of The Bachelorette in second place behind winner and aspiring country singer Jed Wyatt.
Hannah broke up with Jed shortly after they got engaged and attempted to reconnect with Tyler during her The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose special, which aired in July 2019.
Hannah recalled receiving mixed signals and navigating a confusing relationship with Tyler from 2019-2020 in her first memoir, God Bless This Mess: Learning to Live and Love Through Life's Best (and Worst) Moments, which was released in November 2021.
Not only did Hannah write that she felt like Tyler's "backup player who never got to play in the game," but she also said their relationship "wasn't some game" to her and he "broke" her heart when he began dating supermodel Gigi Hadid shortly after The Bachelorette 15 wrapped on TV.
Hannah and Tyler never dated again after the show, and they claim they never even kissed while quarantining with each other for several weeks amid the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
Hannah claimed Tyler's last text to her was, "Well... if you rock with me, you rock with me. If you don't, you don't."
But Tyler noted on "The Bellas Podcast" once Hannah's book was released, "I've got receipts, too!"
