Only hours earlier, James had uploaded a reel as the pair enjoyed a trip to London - prompting fans to question the odd timeline. Back in April 2021, Amerling - a professional horse rider - claimed she had dated James before his appearance on The Bachelor in 2020, which was confirmed by an insider.
