Marvin Brooks, 36, appeared on the 2019 season as Casa Amor hunk.
He didn't last long on the show after failing to woo Maura and eventual winner, Amber Gill.
He was brought into the villa after Maura coupled up with him in Casa Amor, but she quickly realised they had no chemistry.
After confessing to Lucie Donlan that there was no spark, Maura dumped Marvin at the same time her pal ditched George Rains.
At the time, fans were in hysterics when he mistakenly believed Irish lass Maura was in tears over him.
Yet six years on the former Royal Navy veteran has found true romance with the American model.
A recent social media post shows him posing with the California-born beauty, 29, in Cannes.
Carmella, who has modelled at Miami Swim, looked stunning in a blue and black patterned dress with a pleated skirt as she posed at the fancy Roberto Cavalli shindig.
After the beauty stunned in a series of solo shots, she teamed up with a tuxedo-clad Marvin for a shot showing them cuddled together.

The Prada Beauty model previously opened up about her battle with PCOS.
She told L'Officielusa.com of the recently-diagnosed condition and said: "It's such a learning experience for me. I'm still learning. But I feel good.
"I'm figuring out what to do. I work out all the time, but for a while I was doing heavier workouts, and I had no idea that you're not supposed to do that.
"It's supposed to be minimal interval workouts. I've always been good with food, but I know the gluten and dairy thing, stuff like that is bad for me."

Lizzo promoted the event via Instagram Story, where she wrote to her nearly 12 million followers, 'Tonight, come and laugh with us,' and added a ticket link. Jefferson and Wright made their first public appearance together in June 2022. They met while hosting MTV's Wonderland in 2016, and were first spotted together in 2021.

When Andy asked whether she's still 'in love' with Myke, she pointed out their 2022 interview, during which he posed the same question, subsequently revealing her relationship status to the public. 'I really got beef with you because the last time we saw each other you f***ing outed me,' she remembered, adding, 'That was so funny.' Andy acknowledged he inadvertently 'stepped in s**t,' taking responsibility as he explained he 'did not know at all.' 'I outed you,' he confirmed. 'Your boyfriend was in the room...' Lizzo described her point of view during the live radio mishap three years ago. 'I was in such a weird position because, like, we're so private,' she recalled. 'But he was there and I was like, "I don't want to say "no" because I don't want to like, [hurt him]."' Cohen later asked if his 2022 question caused any problems between Lizzo and her boyfriend. She said that she and Myke remained on good terms, but noted, 'It started s**t with the world, though,' while laughing.
