The former couple made it to the final vows where he decided to end the union, though they did briefly get back together and attended the series reunion as a couple.
Ultimately, the relationship didn't work out but Ella didn't have to wait long to find her Prince Charming.
Guy and Ella went public in April 2023 and just a year later tied the knot in a surprise ceremony.
Prior to their nuptials, Ella opened up about the possibility of becoming a mother and said she wasn't in a hurry. MAFS star breaks down in tears as she reveals she's pregnant
"I'm not in any rush to have children, that's about it really," she said.
"Ideally, I would like to say I would like to have kids in a year and a half to two years but I don't know how long that could take."
Ella and Guy said I do at a ceremony in Melbourne and their romantic vows were captured on video.
She told him: "I believe every experience we've been through in life has prepared us to be ready for each other now.
"Guy, you are my best friend, and I love you so much. Thank you for choosing me and what I come with, quirks and all, I can't wait to do the rest of my life with you."
While Guy was equally as gushing, telling Ella: "You are the single most beautiful person in the world to me every single day, you're my best friend my confidant and my life partner and I'll always feel blessed to have you by my side and I love you."

Sarita Stella doesn't look like this anymore! Bombshell The Price Is Right game show model and famous WAG shows off her transformation after huge career change
She was one of the most glamorous women on Aussie TV, starring alongside Larry Emdur as a model on The Price Is Right in the early 2000s. But Sarita Stella (now Holland), 42, looks worlds away from her game show days in new photos she recently shared to social media. The former glamour model, who was once a blonde bombshell, recently crossed over to the dark side and has dyed her hair chocolate brown. She showed off her new look while enjoying a serene wellness retreat in Queensland over the weekend. The mother-of-three, who is now a popular lifestyle influencer, posed in sleek black activewear as she took part in yoga sessions and soaked up the peaceful surroundings. 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. Sarita Stella was one of the most glamorous women on Aussie TV, turning heads as the beauty who exchanged quips with Larry Emdur on The Price Is Right in the early 2000s. Pictured in 2003 Despite the change in hair colour and lifestyle, the former TV star is still every bit the stunner as she was on TV two decades ago. Sarita, who is married to AFL Brodie Holland star, appeared on Channel Nine's The Price Is Right from 2003 - 2005. She went on to become a glamour model, posing in skimpy bikinis for several popular men's magazines. She also worked as a 'Grid Girl' and launched a successful modelling career in Asia. Sarita met her footy star beau Brodie, 45, when she was 18, and the couple married in Bali in 2008. Brodie played for the Magpies and Fremantle during his 20-year AFL career. They share daughter Stevie, 15, and twin sons Kip and Bowie, 14. They live with their children in an Essendon mansion after having sold their Ascot Vale home for $1.525million in 2019. Sarita posted a gallery of fresh-faced photos of herself wearing skintight black activewear while enjoying a serene wellness retreat in Queensland Sporting a darker hair colour, minimal makeup and a glowing complexion, Sarita was barely recognisable from her early 2000s TV days - but still every bit as glam Sarita, who is married to AFL Brodie Holland star, appeared on Channel Nine's The Price is Right from 2003 - 2005 She also worked as a 'Grid Girl' and launched a successful modelling career in Asia Sarita is now a popular lifestyle influencer and brand ambassador, and often shows off her incredibly toned figure in bikinis and activewear on her Instagram page. Despite her glamorous persona, Sarita insists she's 'super low maintenance'. She told Sophia Cachia for her blog in 2019 that while she has 'every single night cream ever' she always forgets to use them. 'The only thing I probably do is freak out in the middle of the night when I forget to put my fake tan on. So that would probably be my go-to night time product, especially when I've got a shoot on the next day,' she said.

Lleyton Hewitt's son Cruz suffers big setback in his quest to follow in his dad's footsteps
Cruz Hewitt has rekindled memories of his dad Lleyton's battling heyday as he went down fighting in his first-round contest in the boys' event at the French Open. The 16-year-old son of Australia's former world No.1, who had gone through qualifying to make the event at Roland Garros, proved a handful on Sunday for Italian Pierluigi Basile, two years his senior and higher-placed in the world junior standings, before succumbing 7-6 (7-4) 5-7 6-3. Hewitt lost the tightest of opening sets on a breaker and looked practically down and out as Basile served for the match at 5-3 in the second set and earned a match point at 5-4, but the Sydney youngster fought tigerishly to turn it around and take the match into a decider. The Italian had the superior firepower but Hewitt wouldn't lie down, revving up the the galleries packed round the tight court No.4 with the sort of crowd-rousing exhortations taken straight from his father's book. Ultimately, he lost in two hours 10 minutes, unable to reach the second round as he had done at the junior event in January at the Australian Open, where he also lost in the first round in the qualifiers for the senior event. The loss marked Cruz's grand slam return after his time at this year's tournament in Melbourne was marked by controversy surrounding him and fellow Aussie Nick Kyrgios. Kyrgios was accused of harassing Hewitt over a photo the youngster posted to social media showing him posing with world No.1 Jannik Sinner, who was awaiting his punishment for breaching anti-doping rules at the time. Kyrgios, who has been a vocal critic of Sinner, was not happy at seeing the 16-year-old with the Italian. Kyrgios commented under Cruz's post: 'Love ya Cruz but this is wild', then later adding 'Cooked post' with a needle emoji. The Aussie firebrand also wrote: 'Thought we were boys' with several broken-heart emojis, with his comments drawing heavy fire from tennis fans and great of the game Andy Roddick. Kyrgios later explained that he's good friends with Cruz and his remarks were a joke between the pair. On Monday, 16-year-old Emerson Jones, the world's No.2 female junior, kicks off her campaign as top seed in the girls' event against US qualifier Capucine Jauffret, while the other Australian in the boys' tournament Ty Host will face US sixth seed Benjamin Willwerth. Hewitt wasn't the only son of a famous player to feature in Sunday's program, with fifth seed Jagger Leach, whose mother is American former triple grand slam winner Lindsay Davenport, beating Kazakh Zangar Nurlanuly 6-1 1-6 6-0.

Revealed: The unique meaning behind two tiny details on footy heartthrob Bailey Smith's uniform
Geelong star Bailey Smith has opened up about the unique messages he writes on his footy boots before games, offering an insight into the Brownlow Medal favourite's mindset. Smith, known for his style on and off the pitch, captured the attention of Channel 7's Brian Taylor before Sunday's match against West Coast. 'This man here, Bailey Smith, he's talking the talk, but he's walking the walk to go with it,' Taylor said as the camera zoomed in to the midfielder's boots. 'Have a look at that: 'spartan' and 'take souls'. 'Take souls' - I've done a bit of investigating - has sort of a loose meaning, but it means you're so incredible at what you do that it forces other people to respect you, that's what 'take souls' means. 'That's a man full of confidence.' Footy legend Nick Riewoldt chimed in: 'Oh yeah, absolutely - and he's backing it up. 'One of the best players in the competition at the moment.' Smith was interviewed after the match and explained that he's been writing on his boots for a while. 'I just write on them every week, so nothing new,' he told Seven. 'Just (to) keep me in the present, keep me in the moment, that's about it.' The star midfielder racked up a season-high 38 disposals and Jeremy Cameron kicked four final-quarter goals as Geelong avoided a major boilover in a 43-point win over West Coast at Optus Stadium. The Cats led by just seven points early in the final quarter of Sunday night's match, and Eagles forward Noah Long had the chance to close the margin to one point with his 35m set shot. But Long's miss proved costly, with Geelong kicking seven of the next eight goals to secure the 17.14 (116) to 11.7 (73) win. Cameron was restricted to one goal across the first three quarters under the tight attention of Reuben Ginbey, but the star forward exploded late to blow out the margin. Smith tallied five clearances, one goal and 834m gained to go with his 38 disposals. He already had 25 disposals to his name by halftime before a tight tag from Brady Hough slowed him somewhat. Max Holmes (27 disposals, seven clearances) was also influential for Geelong, who improved their season record to 8-4. 'He just kept getting the ball early,' Geelong coach Chris Scott said of Smith. 'I thought he and Holmes were really penetrating.'
