The pair, who barely looked each other's way during their MAFS journey, seemed to have turned over a new leaf as they enjoyed scenic walks and brunches together.
Adam even pulled out a surprise gift for her - a beaded necklace he made himself.
Kristina was left gobsmacked, welling up as she hugged Adam and proudly showed it off to the camera.

Taking to Instagram to share the sweet moment with her followers, the reality star posted a video of her reaction, as Adam explained: 'It kinda matches mine but more female.'
Kristina squealed: 'Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm obsessed. Thank you! I love that!'
Beaming, she gave fans a closer look, holding the necklace up and grinning: 'It's so pretty! I got a present!'
It looks like MAFS might have worked for the pair after all.

Adam's flirty behaviour towards another bride
Now, months after filming wrapped, it looks like something genuine might finally be blooming between them.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.'
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?'
'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.'
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
While their original matches didn't quite work out, eagle-eyed fans couldn't help noticing Kristina and Adam's growing friendship behind the scenes.
And judging by their romantic hotel getaway and that handmade necklace - it's giving major second-chance love vibes.
