From partying with Hugh Hefner to starring in a Nicki Minaj music video: The scandalous past of a new Married At First Sight bride is revealed
The glamorous blonde once partied with Playboy icon Hugh Hefner, starred in a Nicki Minaj music video and lived a fast-paced Hollywood lifestyle before returning home to cause chaos on the small screen.
Photos exclusively obtained by Daily Mail show the glamorous blonde photographed inside the Playboy Mansion, posing alongside the late publishing mogul.
Wearing a plunging black corset under a cropped denim jacket, Gia smiled next to the Playboy founder during what appeared to be one of his infamous parties.
Gia also landed cameos in high-profile music videos, including French Montana featuring Nicki Minaj's 'Freaks' and Gillespie's 'Take Me Back' – both filmed while she was based in Hollywood.
In one scene from Freaks, she can be spotted dancing in a neon-lit club among a group of scantily clad performers, complete with voluminous hair, full glam and a figure-hugging outfit.
Sources say Gia's LA years were filled with red carpet appearances, celebrity encounters and 'very wild' parties.
Back in Australia, Gia has built a reputation for her bold style, outspoken personality and elaborate body art.
With a full sleeve of colourful tattoos, surgically enhanced curves and a no-filter approach to conversation, insiders have already dubbed her 'the wildest bride in MAFS history'.
'Gia doesn't give a single f*** what anyone thinks,' one insider told Daily Mail Australia.
'She's bold, she's brash and she says whatever's on her mind – which makes for absolutely iconic TV.'
Gia will be matched with fellow tattooed contestant Scott McCristal, 30, a former reality TV contestant who has appeared on Million Dollar Island and Holey Moley.
The Melbourne-based businessman runs three ventures - A Lend Finance, Jetski United and McCristal Motors – and boasts more than 25,000 Instagram followers.
'They're both huge personalities,' another source said of the couple.
'It's explosive. There are blow-ups, big emotions and some serious chemistry. Viewers are either going to love them or hate them – but no one will be able to look away.'
Friends say Gia is more than just her glamorous exterior.
'She's wild, sure, but she's also incredibly caring and protective of the people she loves,' a close friend said.
'She's been through a lot, and she's unapologetically herself now.'
Another pal added: 'Gia is the definition of a modern power woman. She's outspoken, confident, and not afraid to call people out on their BS – but she's also super fun and brings this amazing energy everywhere she goes.'

Are Sydney Sweeney and Machine Gun Kelly a couple? He won't answer
Machine Gun Kelly appeared on 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen' and avoided directly answering a viewer's question about dating Sydney Sweeney.

Sydney Sweeney reportedly ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino in March and confirmed she was single in May, while Machine Gun Kelly's engagement to Megan Fox concluded last Thanksgiving. During the interview, Machine Gun Kelly also suggested he might be part-alien, citing his rapid healing and his mother's claim of having been abducted.

Disney fans react over 'obnoxious' park behavior
Published: | Updated: A fierce debate about filming at Disney World has erupted online after one streamer was called out for their 'rude' and 'obnoxious' behavior, even prompting cast members to weigh in. A Disney guest recently took to the popular WaltDisneyWorld section of Reddit , where they shared a picture of someone holding up an array of cameras and filming equipment while walking around the park. The unidentified man had a camera mount in both of his hands, and each one was attached to an iPhone as well as a portable charger and a slew of other wires. He held the devices above his head, surely making it a challenge to see what was happening for those standing behind him. 'Anyone else think this is just obsessive and obscene?' the Reddit user asked about the contraption. It sparked a heated argument about the topic, as hoards of people rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts. Many people agreed with the poster, and one person, claiming to be a Disney Cast Member, even chimed in about their experience with people filming content at the parks. 'Being a [cast member] sucks when it comes to this,' the user admitted. 'Yes, some influencers will ask permission to film us, especially involving pin videos. However, many exploit us for content. 'People generally don't realize that performing isn't just limited to entertainment. Every [cast member] is always putting on a show. 'Disney is always watching. Hearing these influencers stretch the truth, or leave out pertinent details as a "hack" grinds my gears.' Others shared their own experiences with people filming or holding multiple devices at the parks. '[Something like this] was in front of us during EPCOT's fireworks show last time we went. And she kept waving it in our faces. It was rude,' one person shared. 'Absolutely. I can't stand people who regularly live stream in the parks, [to be honest],' another wrote. 'I've had multiple instances where someone wasn't paying attention to anyone around them because they were streaming and either walked into us/in front of us, or were just being loud in an area that didn't warrant it, etc. It's incredibly obnoxious, especially when they have rigs or multiple camera setups like this.' Someone else said: 'We saw this today. Blocking off their space with all their cameras and tech and then getting mad when people move around them or get in their shot. 'I don't even mean close to show time. I mean hours and hours before the parade.' 'And incredibly annoying. Had a guy like that in front of me at fireworks one night- had to move as his lights were bright enough it actually interfered with the firework show,' read a fourth comment. A different user admitted: 'Disney influencers like this take the magic out of visiting the parks. Disney World is a place to escape the world and enter one of whimsy and fantasy.' They added: 'Disney really needs to start limiting the kind of filming equipment people can bring into the parks. 'I've seen people with tripods setting up shots as if they were filming a movie and acting like they can direct people to stay out of their shots, like they are filming an episode of Modern Family or Full House. A few people wondered why the man's mounts were allowed, given that Disney has a rule about selfie sticks. 'How is this allowed, but selfie sticks are not? If anything, I blame Disney for the inconsistency,' one person wondered. 'They don't allow selfie sticks, but this rig is OK?' someone else questioned.
