Married At First Sight's Jamie Marinos and Eliot Donovan looked absolutely smitten as they stepped out for a romantic date night in Sydney on Wednesday.
The lovebirds were spotted beaming as they strolled hand-in-hand through Newtown before dining at local favourite La Favola - Authentic Italian.
At one point, Eliot, 35, even swept Jamie, 29, off her feet - quite literally - lifting her into his arms as the pair laughed and cuddled under the streetlights.
Jamie turned heads in a statement shaggy chocolate brown faux-fur jacket, which she paired with relaxed-fit blue jeans and towering nude heels.
She kept her glam natural, showing off her golden locks and glowing skin, and carried a chic olive-toned shoulder bag with a chunky chain strap.

Meanwhile, Eliot kept things effortlessly cool in a fitted black tee that showed off his sleeve tattoo, paired with black trousers and matching leather shoes.
The casually handsome entrepreneur couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he gazed at Jamie throughout the night.
The couple, who went public with their romance during the MAFS reunion special earlier this year, appeared totally relaxed and at ease with each other, laughing and chatting animatedly as they wandered through the busy Inner West strip.
An onlooker told Daily Mail Australia the pair looked 'like they were in their own little world' and 'couldn't keep their hands off each other'.
It's a full-circle moment for Jamie and Eliot, whose chemistry was evident the moment they were introduced on the show - even if sparks didn't immediately fly during the experiment.
Since filming wrapped, the duo have continued to grow closer away from the cameras, with sources close to the pair revealing they've become 'inseparable' and are even talking about moving in together.
Last month Jamie was forced to set the record straight after fans started speculating she might be pregnant.
The popular bride sparked baby rumours after appearing in a gallery of snaps from Voir Vodka dinner at Bar Bambi in Melbourne, which she attended with Eliot and co-star Teejay Halkias.
The images, shared by @mafsgossip, included a shot of Jamie posing with Eliot - who she has been romantically linked to in recent months - wearing a sleek all-black outfit which seemed to hint at a small bump.
'Is it me or does Jaime look like she's got a bump?' one fan commented, while another added, 'Just don't know if it's a baby bump or Photoshopped to look like it. But 100% it's a bump!'
But Jamie wasted no time shutting down the speculation, jumping into the comments to address the chatter directly.
'I'm going to blame the lighting on that, because it does and I can assure you there's no bump,' she wrote, adding a laughing emoji.
In another cheeky comment, the blonde beauty joked, 'Why am I excited now for a non-existent baby?' before confirming the 'countless' vodkas she consumed that night were proof enough she wasn't expecting.
The MAFS star later doubled down, taking to her Instagram Stories to share the same photo and write: 'What in the optical illusion is this? I look like I have a baby bump.'
She added: 'How funny would it be if at an event for an alcohol brand I announce a pregnancy, except it wouldn't be funny because I'd be pissed the f**k off that I'm sober.'
Since the show wrapped in April, Jamie and Eliot have emerged as two of the most-followed cast members, regularly sparking dating rumours with their flirty comments, TikTok videos and joint appearances at events.
Despite their undeniable chemistry, Jamie previously clarified their relationship during a Q&A with fans, insisting: 'We are really good friends.
'He's been such a great support system, always makes me laugh and I'm super grateful to have him around.'
She added: 'We are both single, and focusing on ourselves at the moment – but who knows what the future holds.'
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Jamie and Eliot echoed that sentiment, saying they've struck up an 'unlikely friendship' post-show and are simply 'taking each day as it comes'.
The pair first sparked romance rumours after attending Daily Mail Australia's reunion party in April.
'Jamie is an absolute babe and I would be very lucky to be in a romantic relationship with her... but at this point in time, we are just close friends,' he told 9Entertainment.
'I'm not in any kind of position to be navigating a romantic relationship but I wouldn't rule anything out. I am absolutely loving going on this journey with Jamie by my side.'
Eliot spoke highly of his relationship with Jamie and said their friendship had grown since meeting during filming last year.
