I don’t see why the distance between them isn’t growing at a constant speed.
At any given time t seconds after separation, the boy is 5t north, and the girl is 1t east. The distance between them is defined by the square root of ((5t)^2 + (t)^2 ), or about 5.099t.
In other words, the distance between them is simply a function defined as 5.099t, whose first derivative with respect to time is just 5.099.
