rebound relationship
Post-breakup romance
A rebound relationship is a romantic involvement begun shortly after the end of a previous relationship, often before emotional healing is complete.
The term suggests the new partner serves as a distraction or substitute rather than a genuine connection: She jumped into a rebound relationship two weeks after her divorce.
Rebounds are typically viewed as unstable or doomed, though some do succeed.
