Married At First Sight UK stars Matt Murray and Marilyse Corrigan have confirmed that they are in a relationship after weeks of rumours flying around.
Shortly after he left the latest series of E4 programme, where contestants get hitched to a complete stranger, rumours were circulating that he had a romance with Marilyse, a contestant from the previous season.
The pair jetted off on holiday together but insisted that they were simply just friends. But now the pair have taken to social media to confirm that they are together, sharing a photo of them kissing.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, a source close to the happy couple said: "Since their holiday their friendship has developed and their relationship has blossomed naturally, they are both extremely happy and are grateful for all the supportive comments they’ve received so far."
And confirming their relationship, Matt captioned his post: "Reality TV is not the real world. This is. Good came from the bad @marilyse_elena_corrigan_pt."
Fans couldn't have been happier for them, with one writing: "Do whatever makes you happy do not worry or care what others will think or say it's your life you live it exactly how you want to as long as you're happy!"
At the time when the pair were on holiday in Turkey, a representative for Marilyse said: "Marilyse has gone to recover from a marathon which she ran for Kidney Research recently and she's celebrating with her son that it's a year since donating her kidney to save his dad's life."
Meanwhile, Matt's spokesperson confirmed he had gone to "recover from the trauma" of the show.
When the show was airing on E4, Marilyse told The Mirror: "I know he's not coming across great on the TV but I do really like him. I think he's got a soft side and is very to down to earth and he's a Yorkshire guy as well!"
During his time on the show, Matt initially married Gemma but their relationship didn't take off, which led to him 'falling in love' with Whitney. The pair, who were "married" to other contestants, were granted permission by the experts to return as a couple although their relationship didn't last long.
Elsewhere, Marilyse who featured in season one of the show was married to Franky Spencer with the couple making it all the way. However, three months later their romance ended after spending too much time with one another.
She told The Express: "I think we just spent too much time together afterwards and it just didn't work out the way it should have done, it's a shame really because we got on so well."
