Once Jonathan was eliminated from The Golden Bachelorette and returned home to Oakland, IA, the shipping consultant apparently met a special woman and he's "happy."

"We do us really well," Jonathan, 61, captioned a photo of the happy couple on Saturday, November 9 via Instagram.

In the photo, Michelle, a blonde beauty wearing a tight blue dress, was sitting on his lap.

Jonathan tagged Michelle's Instagram account, but it's set to private.

Jonathan also hinted that his romance with Michelle may last "forever" in a separate post.

"'So I Dropped The Bomb'... I started my journey looking for love, a love that is a forever love," Jonathan wrote alongside a picture of the pair holding hands.   

"A love I thought I once had but this was my second chance! So, I went all in with no walls to protect my vulnerability. I had no other intentions than that."

Jonathan continued: "This journey can be full of expectations but the unexpected happened and 'The Bomb' is the second chance I've been looking for! I am so grateful for all of the support and kind words from all you in the Bachelor Nation."

Jonathan concluded his post by writing, "I'm happy to say that Michelle is truly 'My Bomb�.'"

Joan's third-place The Golden Bachelorette bachelor, Pascal Ibgui, commented, "Congratulation, my friend, she is beautiful. Wish you very best."

Joan had sent Jonathan home right before her Final 4 bachelors' hometown dates.

Jonathan, a father of two, got emotional at The Men Tell All because he said Joan had "validated" him and "made him feel seen."

Jonathan also shared that Joan "has a wonderful and caring spirit about" her that made him feel "comfortable and safe."

Joan confessed that she felt "really bad" about hurting Jonathan on The Golden Bachelorette because he's such a great man and "a very special human being."

After Joan denied Jonathan a rose, she walked him out and had a difficult goodbye.

Joan told Jonathan that he had made such an imprint on her heart, and she thanked him for being so vulnerable with her.

"You not only made me feel visible and seen, but you validated a lot of the values I tried to be as a man and as a father. You saw that in me, and I can't ask for anything more than that. I am so grateful," Jonathan told Joan.

Joan and Jonathan hugged each other goodbye, and Jonathan admitted he was "devastated" once inside the limo. Jonathan had been hoping Joan would want to meet his family and kids.

"But I wish the best for her," Jonathan said of Joan.

"I came out here because I believed in [getting] a second chance at love, and she did heal my heart. Although this is the end of my journey [with] Joan, maybe my journey is just beginning!"
