NEWS.COM.AU exclusive: She went on national television just last week to accuse Tim Robards of breaking her heart, but it seems Bachelor runner-up Rochelle has already moved on with a new man.

The Perth-born model was spotted enjoying a dolphin cruise in Nelson Bay, north of Sydney, yesterday with an unnamed man, with one onlooker saying the pair were "holding hands and kissing" on the boat.

"We could tell it was her boyfriend because they were holding hands, and they were kissing inside the cabin," the woman, who was also on the cruise, told news.com.au.News_Image_File: Rochelle and a mystery man enjoyed a dolphin cruise with around 30 others. Picture: Supplied

But The Bachelor runner-up says it's nothing serious.

"I just had a lovely weekend away with nine friends in Nelson Bay, where these photos have been taken," she told news.com.au.

"I'm definitely not in a serious relationship at the moment, I'm just enjoying dating and looking forward to seeing what the future holds."

The pair reportedly joined around 30 other sightseers on the hour-and-a-half cruise with company Tamboi Queen, and were seated with two other couples who had children with them.

"She was really affectionate, he had his hand on her knee a lot of the time and he would put his hand around her and then when they got off the cruise they would walk around holding hands."

The onlooker said they knew it was Rochelle for sure because at one point the dark-haired man said: "Rochelle, do you want another beer?"

The female witness said that Rochelle noticed her taking photos of the pair but didn't seem fazed.

During Channel Ten's After The Rose special last Thursday night, the 27-year-old beauty came face-to-face with Robards and said: "I choose to believe that you took me as far as you could and I can't help but believe that you knew because I believe in your relationship with Anna … she's a close friend of mine and I know how amazing she is. To be that intense with somebody, and so intimate with somebody and then absolutely, completely cut off from them, well …"

Rochelle admitted last week after the dramatic finale aired on Wednesday night that being rejected by Robards was "one of the hardest moments in my life".

The Sydney-based chiropractor chose 26-year-old Anna Heinrich out of 25 eligible bachelorettes, handing her a promise ring in the final episode as a symbol of their budding relationship.
