Now all eyes are on the pair's holiday plans - as The Bidens are spending Thanksgiving at Rubenstein's $20million Nantucket estate.
'This should be a great Thanksgiving for them both,' the source added. 'Everyone is wondering if they will turn up for Thanksgiving dinner with the President and First Family.'

The Biden clan will spend the week eating turkey and talking about the 2024 presidential race at Rubenstein's luxurious 13-acre estate - where the First Family stayed last year.
Our source said, 'We're all hoping that Caryn will now enjoy the holidays with one of the world's richest men and the President of the United States. Talk about an amazing next chapter for Caryn, who truly deserves it.
'Caryn is charming, sweet and very attractive, so it makes sense that David would be interested in a close friendship with her.'

'She puts her family first and has maintained a dignified silence about Jeff.'

The Zuckers lived in the same Manhattan apartment building as Gollust and her then husband Billy Hult – and even the doormen knew of the illicit relationship and tried to keep Caryn and Allison from interacting.
Zucker eventually ended the marriage at a Rosh Hashanah dinner for the Jewish New Year, it has been reported.
Zucker quit in February as part of the fallout from the firing of former anchor Chris Cuomo, who blew the whistle on his ex-boss's affair in his fight for $18million severance pay.
Chris was fired in December last year after an internal investigation found he had helped his brother Andrew, the former Governor of New York, navigate through a sexual misconduct scandal, while still working as a CNN host.
Zucker had refused to pay out the remaining $18million of his contract, citing the conflict of interest between Chris's relationship with his brother and his on-air reporting for CNN.
Cuomo's team said it was hypocritical for Zucker to fire Chris for a conflict of interest when he has one of his own in his relationship with Gollust, with sources calling it the 'worst kept secret inside the building.'

Meanwhile President Biden has said the holidays - a time when the extended family is together - is when they'll have serious talks about another White House bid.
'I hope Jill and I get a little time to actually sneak away for a week' to discuss running for a second term, the president said earlier this year at a press conference.
Preparations have already begun on the island for the first family's arrival. A large military cargo plane was at the town's airport on Sunday, carrying the equipment necessary to secure the president for his stay.
On Monday, a fleet of Massachusetts state police motorcycles and SUVs drove off the ferry and onto the town's main drag to be on hand for Biden's visit.
Hundreds of people follow the president wherever he goes - Secret Service agents, support staff, and members of the military. They'll lock down the area around Rubenstein's home while the Bidens are in residence.
As for the budding relationship, our source says, 'Everyone just adores Caryn, she's a wonderful woman and we all want her to find happiness.'
