The Golden Bachelor stars Barry 'Bear' Myrden and Sunny Long have sparked engagement rumours, after eagle-eyed fans noticed her wearing a stunning new ring.

The couple, who fell in love last year on the set of the Channel Nine dating series, have been chronicling their recent trip to Canada to visit Bear's family.

They were seen living it up in a series of photos as they enjoyed their time in Bear's home country, with several telling pictures showing a dazzling opal band on Sunny's ring finger.

'Great to be in Canada. Spend time with Bear’s family and friends!' Sunny captioned a recent post. 

Although the pair have both remained tight-lipped about whether they are engaged, fans quickly noticed that Sunny didn't wear that ring during her stint on the series, leading to speculation that Bear had given it to her. 

'Are you engaged? Can see a sparkler on your finger?' one fan pointedly asked in the comments.

Sunny, 58, cheekily responded with a laughing and love emoji, neither confirming nor denying the suggestion. 

Sunny and Bear went to extreme lengths to hide their romance from the moment filming wrapped early last year to the airing of the finale in November.

 They finally went public with their relationship, revealing they had secret meet-ups for seven months which were tightly controlled by producers.  

'When the cameras stopped rolling, I just said, "Do not forget about me,"' Bear previously admitted to Daily Mail.

The Northern Beaches-based reality TV star said he had to save Sunny's number under a fake name in his phone in case anyone saw it.

'I can actually put her name in my phone now because the secret name would pop up,' he revealed.

Sunny admitted the months spent undercover were far tougher than viewers realise. 

'It was really hard. But he texted me and called me nearly every day. He is a really romantic guy,' she said.

The couple described the strange double life they lived as they snuck around Sydney for producer-approved meet-ups.

They had to keep their bond alive through late-night phone calls, all while promos for the show kept viewers guessing the outcome.

'We had a few visits, but they were few and far between,' Bear said. 

'It is good to finally be able to have coffees together and breakfast.'
