new relationship

Recently begun courtship

A new relationship is one that has recently begun, typically romantic.

The phrase often carries connotations of excitement, uncertainty, and the early stages of getting to know someone: They're still in that new relationship phase where everything feels magical.

It implies the bond hasn't yet been tested by time or conflict.
