EXCLUSIVE MAFS stars reunite! Dave joins Rhi and Jeff at birthday bash for Love Triangle's Alan Wallace at glitzy Zekkai rooftop launch
It was reality TV meets rooftop chic as some of Australia's popular reality TV stars gathered to toast Love Triangle's Alan Wallace's birthday in serious style.
The intimate but star-studded celebration took place at Melbourne 's newly opened hotspot, Zekkai – a penthouse restaurant, cocktail bar and nightclub offering sweeping city views, top-tier drinks and luxe vibes.
Leading the guest list was Married At First Sight's Dave Hand, who reunited with co-stars Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels, delighting fans with a surprise mini MAFS reunion.
Rhi stunned in a silky beige utility-style jumpsuit with a cinched waist and oversized collar, pairing the look with a high ponytail and glowy glam makeup.
Standing beside her, Jeff cut a suave figure in a structured black coat and matching ensemble, with the duo looking every inch the fashionable power pair as they posed inside the venue.
Meanwhile, the birthday boy himself, Alan Wallace, brought the style in a sage green suit layered over a white tank, holding a martini glass and showing off his bold chest tattoo.
He was joined by fellow Love Triangle star Yannick Samarasinghe, who made a statement in a sheer crochet shirt worn open to reveal his toned physique and trademark afro.
Also in attendance was Love Island Australia's Zac Nunns, who sported a fitted black tee and white pants, adding some extra muscle and beachy charm to the boys' club.
David, known for his signature ink and laid-back charisma, rocked a relaxed look featuring khaki pants, a beige hoodie draped over his shoulders, and a white graphic tee.
The four men looked right at home in front of the event's branded backdrop, arms slung around one another in celebration.
Alan rose to fame after appearing on season two of Stan's explosive dating series Love Triangle.
Known for his tattooed, tough-guy exterior, Alan quickly became one of the show's most talked-about figures. But behind the bold image was a man eager to set the record straight.
During his time on Love Triangle, he spoke candidly about the frustration of being labelled a 'f***boy' based purely on his looks, insisting it couldn't be further from the truth.
Rhi and Jeff meanwhile have quietly defied the odds – emerging as the golden couple standing from this year's experiment.
While other relationships crumbled under pressure both on and off-screen, the fan-favourite duo have continued to grow stronger post-show.
Rhi and Jeff are still very much together and taking things at their own pace, away from the cameras.
'They've kept it low-key but are really solid,' one insider told Daily Mail Australia. 'Out of all the couples, they're the only ones who've made it work.'

Love Island star has flirty link to Justin Bieber and Gary Lineker's son
EXCLUSIVE: Helena Ford is set to make her Love Island debut when the new series starts on June 9 and the Londoner is already well connected in the world of showbiz Love Island's latest series is already heating up and it hasn't even started yet as the line up includes a footballer's son, someone whose mum owns a sex shop, a former fire breather and now someone who Justin Bieber follows. Helena Ford is bringing more than just stunning looks and cabin crew charm to the villa. The 29-year-old Londoner is already well connected in celebrity circles, counting Zara McDermott, Justin Bieber, and the sons of British TV royalty among her friends. And as she gears up to find love under the Spanish sun, she's not ruling anything out - even sex on national television. Helena, who previously worked as a flight attendant before entering the villa, is no stranger to the jet-set lifestyle. But her social circle might come as a surprise to some. In an exclusive interview ahead of her casting her sights on some guys under the Mallorcan sun, she opened up about her links to Love Island alumni, pop royalty, and the children of some of the UK's biggest media names. 'I know Zara [McDermott] through one of my best friends who managed her after she left Love Island,' Helena revealed. 'I didn't actually speak to her before going in — she's super busy filming documentaries at the moment.' Despite the lack of last-minute advice from Zara, Helena's no stranger to reality TV culture. She's also familiar with some famous faces off-screen, including the sons of Piers Morgan and Gary Lineker. 'I haven't actually told them!' she laughed. 'So they'll find out with everyone else. I imagine their reaction will be positive, though.' As for how she met them? 'Just nights out in London,' Helena explained casually — proving that the capital's social scene can bring together just about anyone. Perhaps the most surprising revelation? Helena is followed by none other than Justin Bieber. 'He does! It's from an old account I had when I was like 12,' she admitted. 'I used to post about him constantly [on X], total Belieber.' Now, Helena's stepping into the spotlight in her own right as one of the standout contestants on Love Island 2025, Series 12. This season, Love Island is lifting its five-year ban on airing intimate scenes, including those in the villa's Hideaway. Executive producer Mike Spencer confirmed that such footage will be broadcast to keep the show "fresh and exciting" in its 10th year. It's a controversial move, but Helena's taking a measured approach. When asked about potentially having sex on the show, she admitted it's something she has discussed with family. 'Yes – especially my mum,' she said. 'She's clued up and said she'd just leave the room or put the TV on mute. I don't know if I'd do it, but never say never.' Helena's honest, laid-back attitude is already making her a fan favourite. With her girl-next-door energy mixed with an enviable A-list social circle, she could be one to watch this season. Describing herself as, 'definitely a lover girl,' Helena says she's finally ready for a boyfriend. This isn't Helena's first or second brush with Love Island fame either - she first applied at 19, a decade ago. 'I only had one audition and didn't get through. Definitely for the best,' she admits. 'I wasn't ready back then.' Now, at 29, she's confident it's finally her moment. A whole host of new singles have been chosen to go into the villa to try and find love while also navigating the twists and turns of the show. The series will be filmed in its usual Majorcan villa but it has been given a spruce up since last year. Love Island returns Monday, June 9 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Chris Hughes' ex confirms pregnancy amid his blossoming romance with JoJo Siwa
Love Island star Chris Hughes's ex-girlfriend has revealed she is pregnant with her first child - while his relationship with Celebrity Big Brother co-star JoJo Siwa is heating up Chris Hughes's professional sport star ex-girlfriend has announced she is expecting her first child - just as his romance with Celebrity Big Brother co-star JoJo Siwa has been confirmed. Professional golfer Annabel Dimmock, 28, shared her happy news via a social media post on Saturday. The golf star took to Instagram showing herself wearing a pink crop top and a pair of short denim shorts. With her legs dangling into a swimming pool, the star showed her growing baby bump. In an accompanying caption, she wrote: "New rookie on tour coming soon" alongside pink heart emojis - and thereby announcing her pregnancy. Fans were quick to take to the comments to wish her well - and noted that the star was posing with baby pink baby shoes. One wrote: "Omg congratulations so happy for you." And another typed: "Congratulations your gonna make the best mum... can't wait to meet her." Annabel previously enjoyed a 14 month romance with Love Island star Chris which lasted from 2020 until 2022. Chris had previously hinted the split hit him hard. "I'm in a good place. I always struggle a bit when it's fresh out of a relationship because everything feels different," he told The Sun in 2022. "But I'm in the gym, I'm keeping myself busy with work. I'm all over the shop. I've got good friends and family around me which is a blessing as well, so I feel good." Annabel's agent had previously told OK! Magazine: "I can confirm they have split and Annabel wishes Chris all the best." She then went on to date Alfie Best Jnr - who is worth £10million thanks to the success of his father, entrepreneur Alfie Best Snr. When the romance was revealed in June 2023, a source told The Sun: "Alfie is a really well liked guy and has been a great match for Annabel. The pair are head over heels but taking things in their stride and not plastering it all over the internet.' Chris has since found a new romance, however, with American pop singer JoJo Siwa, 22. The pair fell for each other after appearing on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother in April this year. Viewers watched in surprise as the pair grew extremely close while in the house - despite the fact JoJo had a girlfriend, Kath Ebbs, on the outside world. When the series concluded, Kath sensationally claimed that JoJo had dumped her at the CBB wrap party. Former Dance Moms star JoJo and Chris then raised eyebrows when they enjoyed a holiday together in Mexico - where they were snapped kissing in a swimming pool. The pair later appeared to confirm their romance as Chris shared a photo of himself in bed with the younger star. JoJo has since discussed their relationship, telling ITV's Lorraine: "Chris and I have had a lot of chats. We've never gone into the kitchen and the head is turning, we've never had that version. He's the best man." Further quizzed on what was going on, she said: "It's so funny To me. It's so funny how straight up people are." Revealing that he had gifted her roses, she said: "They were discount flowers. There's this adorable clip of him, peeling off the sticker... What's even better now, everyone deserves to know, the flowers exist in a blender bottle. He's the best."

Love Island's Helena Ford reveals horror moment she was KNOCKED OUT by date - and reveals truth about why Justin Bieber follows her
Love Island's Helena Ford has revealed the horror moment she was knocked out during a date and shared the truth about why Justin Bieber follows her social media. Helena, 29, works as cabin crew and a travel influencer and is one of the 12 new islanders who will move into the iconic villa on Monday. The Londoner is hoping to find 'somebody funny or Northern' and has opened up about a previous dating fail while she was studying at the University of Gloucestershire. 'I went on a date when I was at uni with this guy, we were leaving this bar, and he basically tried to give me like a fireman's lift over his shoulder,' she revealed. However, things went drastically wrong during the playful lift and there was no second date afterwards. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She added: '... I just went the whole way and ended up knocking myself out.' Helena previously revealed Justin Bieber follows her on X, formerly Twitter, though she doesn't know him personally. 'Basically, when I was really, really young, I used to be like a Belieber. So, like I was just like a little fan girl for Justin Bieber,' she admitted. The pop star followed Helena's old social media account and she added: 'So yeah, he did follow me back, but that was on my old T witter account. 'It wasn't on my actual one. But when, obviously, when I was about 13, I was absolutely gassed.' The cabin crew's social media is littered with 'come with me' videos from idyllic locations including Dubai, Lake Como and Monaco. Both the epitome of a blonde bombshells with their long, flowing curls and striking features, Helena could be mistaken for Danielle Sellers. Danielle, 30, is also prolific on social media, with the former Page 3 model running a food account on Instagram named Delicious Danielle. The model first took part in the third series of Love Island in 2017 before appearing on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year. Sharing her ideal type, Helena said: 'Somebody funny or Northern. I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. 'If you look through my previous dating history, you'll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed.' Helena does already have a connection to the villa, as a friend of show favourite Zara McDermott.
