Hello all!

I've bonded housebuns before but I have a question about this particular situation. We have a neutered male 4 yo lop mix named Oreo. His english lop wife passed away recently tragically, and he certainly misses her. A bit over a week ago we adopted a 6week old female Flemish Giant, the poor thing was being raised for meat! They have been staying in seperate cages in full view of each other, being let out individually for play time, and flirting with each other through the mesh of their cages. This morning for the first time they were allowed to meet briefly without bars between them in the living room, and it went pretty well.... he humped her a bit but other than that no aggression and she did not seem to mind.
My question is, she's can't be spayed for several weeks from now, we are more than eager to get it done but in the mean time is it impossible to bond a non-spayed female bun with a neutered male 4 yo? Being a giant I'd sure love for her to have the larger bun palace that the male resides in. He's always been a hornball so I'm sure he wouldn't mind having a horny wife (lol) but at the same time she is only 7 1/2 weeks old and I do NOT want to stress her either???
Any advice would SO be appreciated.
Thank you so much!
