Newly engaged Bachelor couple living it up at popular Toronto bars and restaurants

Bachelor franchise fan-favourites Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt had millions of viewers swooning with their engagement, which aired during the Bachelor in Paradise season finale on Tuesday, and the couple has since been taking advantage of finally being able to go out in public together by hitting up a bunch of popular Toronto bars and restaurants.

Pitt, who lives in Toronto, made her hometown proud when she went on Matt James' season of The Bachelor earlier this year and, at the young age of 22, refrained from engaging in the petty drama that dominated much of the season before choosing to leave the show on her own terms.

She then went to Paradise, where she met Amabile — the Chicago-based 34-year-old lovingly known by Bachelor nation as "Grocery Store Joe."

The unproblematic couple captured the hearts of viewers right off the bat, and they ended the season with an adorable proposal on the beaches of Mexico. 

In reality, their engagement took place months ago, but the couple has had to keep their relationship under wraps so as not to ruin the season's ending for viewers.

Now that the season is officially over, Amabile and Pitt are finally free to live life as a normal couple — and that's exactly what they appear to be doing.

On Thursday, Amabile also posted an Instagram story while having lunch at the St. Lawrence Market.
