One snap showed the lovebirds kissing in the crosswalk of a quiet street.
Dalton, 28, wrapped his arm around the actress’ waist while Maika stood on her tippy toes and placed her hands behind his neck.
Other photos appeared to document their weekend together, dining at various restaurants and showing off their matching bright blue socks.
The last snap captured the duo cuddling on a couch while enjoying a boat ride out at sea.

GETTING COMFORTABLE
Maika huddled close to her man to keep warm, with them each wearing black shorts and sweatshirts.
They looked happy as they smiled softly at the camera, with the sunshine beaming down on them.
The It Follows star captioned her post with a shooting star emoji.
Dalton and Maika first sparked dating rumors in October 2023 when they were spotted packing on the PDA, days after the real estate mogul filed for divorce from his ex Ariana, 30.
They had since been seen on numerous public outings, though they hadn’t officially confirmed they were an item until now.
Meanwhile, Ariana has made her relationship with her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater, 31, known to the world, and she recently supported the actor at the opening night of his New York City residency.
Last month, The U.S. Sun exclusively reported that Ariana attended the Broadway star’s solo performance at Café Carlyle.
A source who was at the event revealed that the Dangerous Woman singer remained “low-key and was seated in the corner with an entourage.”
They also said that Ariana made herself scarce and exited quickly after the show without interacting with Ethan, who was mingling with other attendees.
Ariana and Ethan met while filming Wicked in 2022, and they reportedly became romantically involved last summer.

By this time, the pair were separated from their significant others – Ariana to Dalton, and Ethan to his ex-wife and the mother of his son, Lilly Jay.
Their relationship became public in July 2023, which is when Ethan and Lilly Jay filed for divorce.
Dalton eventually filed for divorce in September 2023 – seven months after they initially separated.
Their divorce was finalized in March 2024, after three years of marriage.
CHEATING ALLEGATIONS
Earlier this year, Ariana was accused by her former sister-in-law of hinting in her new song Eternal Sunshine that Dalton was unfaithful in their marriage.
Dalton’s sister also complained that fans were only getting “one side of the story,” and that her brother was silenced on speaking about the matter.
This made fans convinced that Dalton might have signed an NDA, forbidding him from disclosing details about his and Ariana’s split.
Neither Dalton nor Ariana have confirmed or denied any allegations of cheating or what led to the breakup.
The former couple quietly tied the knot in 2021 after one year of dating.
