Married At First Sight's Nasser Sultan looks loved up as he steps out for red carpet date night with SBS presenter girlfriend Karla Grant
Married At First Sight star Nasser Sultan has proudly debuted his blossoming romance with esteemed SBS journalist Karla Grant - and the unlikely couple looked absolutely smitten as they stepped out together on Sunday night.
In photos taken at Sydney 's NIDA Theatre, the lovebirds made a dazzling entrance as they strutted hand-in-hand down the red carpet.
Karla, 60, stunned in a flowing, tie-dye silk maxi dress in shades of coral and white, which featured a plunging neckline and flared sleeves.
She paired the striking look with clear-strap stilettos, wore her honey-blonde locks in glamorous loose waves, and opted for a soft, glowing makeup look featuring glossy nude lips and bronzed cheeks.
Meanwhile, Nasser, 56, looked every inch the proud boyfriend, flashing a wide grin as he rocked a short-sleeve powder blue shirt, slim black trousers, and matching black shoes. He accessorised with a chunky gold watch, bracelet, and a pendant necklace.
The couple couldn't keep their hands off each other as they posed together in front of a giant white throne chair and the event's sponsor wall.

In one playful moment, Karla was even seen sitting on Nasser's lap, laughing as he wrapped a protective arm around her waist.
Their affectionate display comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed in February that Nasser and Karla had been quietly dating for several months after reconnecting at a party last year.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia Nasser said, 'We've known each other for four years, to be honest. Then we just reconnected at a party and fell in love.
'That was it. It was like love at first sight - just not Married At First Sight!'
Gushing about his girlfriend, Nasser added, 'She's gentle, smart, elegant, very well-educated, respected in the industry. And she's not fake. And she's not on Instagram.'
Indeed, while Nasser has often courted publicity since starring on MAFS back in 2018, Karla is renowned for her serious work as a presenter and producer for SBS's Indigenous current affairs program, Living Black, and largely shuns the spotlight.
The romance between the Walkley Award-winning journalist and the self-confessed reality TV 'troublemaker' may seem unexpected, but Karla herself said it best in a rare public statement:
'Nasser is one of a kind. He's attentive, caring and thoughtful and I see how he is with those who are closest to him. He's always helping his friends.'
The Grants' marriage split became front-page news in 2000 when Stan left Karla for his Seven colleague Tracey Holmes (left)

She continued, 'Our union was very unexpected, but it is growing into something very special.'
The relationship marks a fresh chapter for Karla, who was previously married to journalist and broadcaster Stan Grant for 16 years before they split in 2000.
Stan famously left Karla for his Seven Network colleague Tracey Holmes, leading to one of the biggest media scandals of the decade.
Meanwhile, Nasser has continued to make headlines in his own right over the years - from pulling cheeky publicity stunts to faking romances for tabloid attention.
But insiders say his romance with Karla is '100 per cent genuine' and not just another ploy for the cameras.
The fact that Nasser, a man who once said, 'write whatever you want about me so long as you write about me,' has kept their relationship low-key until now, speaks volumes.
'I credit her for making me calm. I'm still a troublemaker - don't worry about that' he said.

Secret pain plaguing Molly-Mae Hague & Tommy Fury's reunion – amid bitter tensions with ‘fuming' Paris & Tyson Fury
The 'extremely loyal' Fury brothers are reportedly 'furious' about how it's all played out Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MOLLY-MAE Hague and Tommy Fury are basking in happiness since agreeing to give their relationship another go - but the same can't be said for their families. Instead, it is claimed that a bitter row is brewing between the Furys and the Hagues, as they reportedly clash over the Love Island couple's decision to reunite. 14 Love Island icons Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have decided to give their relationship another go Credit: Getty 14 Molly-Mae and Tommy share a two-year-old daughter together, above the couple with Bambi Credit: Instagram/mollymae 14 The pair blamed their shock split in August on the boxing champ's boozing Credit: Splash News 14 Tyson and Paris have reportedly supported Molly and Tommy's decision to reunite Credit: Instagram The reconciliation has infuriated Molly's older sister, Zoe, who has been vocal about her fears for Molly's future and how she believes Tommy's issues with alcohol could cause problems again. And that in turn has allegedly rubbed Tommy's family, including boxer brother Tyson and his wife Paris, up the wrong way. 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy,' a source claimed. 'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up. 'To them Tommy is a stand up guy, a good, hard working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.' Molly-Mae and Tommy confirmed they'd got back together during a family trip to Dubai last month with their two-year-old daughter, Bambi. It came nine months on from their shock split in August, which they blamed on Tommy's boozing. In January he said, 'We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be any more. "It kills me to say it, but I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink.' Following speculation they'd got back together after they were spotted smooching on New Year's Eve, Molly and Tommy, both 26, didn't address the rumours until Molly's docuseries, Behind It All aired. Watch moment Molly Mae admits she 'feels sick' watching back her Love Island audition with Tommy Fury It was then revealed the pair were working on their relationship. On the series Zoe and Molly can be seen clashing, with Zoe telling viewers, 'I do worry for her and my relationship with her if they did get back together.' She added, 'I think she potentially needs to look into the future and think about what's best for her and Bambi. She's got a long, rocky road ahead, unfortunately.' In a separate scene Zoe appeared to soften her stance, but ultimately seemed down on the future of the relationship. 'I've literally been there, through everything,' she tells Molly while making dinner. 'Through the upset calls in the middle of the night because he's out and you don't hear from him. 14 The reconciliation has reportedly infuriated Molly's older sister, Zoe Credit: YouTube / MollyMae 14 And it has allegedly rubbed Tommy's family, including Tyson and his wife Paris, up the wrong way Credit: Instagram 14 Pals told The Sun in February that the Hague family, including Stephen and mum Debbie Gordon, were 'horrified' that Tommy was back on the scene Credit: Getty 'I mean, he's proven me wrong so far, to be fair, but I do think at some point that it's gonna happen again. If the drink hasn't gone away forever, the problems could potentially arise again.' In February pals told The Sun that the Hague family, including Molly's dad Stephen and mum Debbie Gordon, were 'horrified' that Tommy was back on the scene. Zoe is fiercely protective and will never forget what Tommy put Molly through, let alone forgive him 'Molly-Mae's closest friends and members of her family think this is a terrible idea and that it is all going to end in tears again,' the source said. 'Zoe is fiercely protective and will never forget what Tommy put Molly through, let alone forgive him.' Now, a separate insider claims the drama is causing grief for the Furys, especially Tyson, 36, and Paris, 35. 'The Fury brothers are extremely loyal to one another and Tyson isn't happy by how it's all playing out so publicly,' a source said. 'He hates that Zoe painted Tommy in such a bad light. He's protective over Tommy and very supportive of him getting back together with Molly. 'Detrimental' "He's fuming that Zoe tainted what should be a happy, positive reconciliation. And in turn it's putting Molly in an awkward position.' Likewise, Paris, who was said to be gutted when Tommy and Molly initially split, is believed to be throwing her full support behind the reunion. The source continued, 'Paris wants nothing but the best for Tommy, Molly and Bambi. "She's incredibly traditional in that she believes in the family unit and is delighted they're trying to make it work. "She can't understand why Molly's sister might try to hinder that. "In Paris' mind, this is the best thing that could possibly happen to Molly. Paris wants nothing but the best for Tommy, Molly and Bambi Source "She's been the supportive sister figure that Molly wishes Zoe could be.' And indeed Molly is adamant she'll do anything to make it work with her Love Island beau, admitting she's desperate to keep her family together. 'I love Tommy so much and I love our family so much that I'm willing to ride the wave and that's not something that everyone wants to do,' she said publicly. 'It's something I'm willing to do because I want my family.' It appears fans are divided, with backlash aimed at both Molly and Zoe. 14 Molly-Mae and Tommy confirmed they'd got back together during a family trip to Dubai last month Credit: tommyfury/Instagram 14 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy,' a source claimed Credit: Instagram 14 Tyson reportedly refused to acknowledge Molly and Zoe at a shopping centre in December Credit: Instagram / @mollymae 14 Molly is adamant she'll do anything to make it work with her Love Island beau Credit: ITV Some agreed with Tyson, saying 'Zoe is too much,' and 'the sister likes the limelight with Tommy's not around.' While others backed Zoe, saying, 'I love how Zoe doesn't sugarcoat anything.' The tension between the families has allegedly been brewing for a while. The Furys were no doubt fuming when Molly's dad Stephen unfollowed Tommy after the split and last week refused to acknowledge him in a birthday tribute to his daughter. "Meanwhile, Molly's mum called Tommy's drinking 'detrimental and destructive.' In a clear sign all was not well, Tyson reportedly refused to acknowledge Molly and Zoe when they bumped into him and Paris at a shopping centre in Manchester in December. While Paris embraced Molly warmly, Tyson remained distant. And with the Hagues still wary over the reunion, it looks like Tyson will be keeping that stance for a while yet. Representatives for the Hague and Fury family have been contacted for comment. 14 Zoe and Molly can be seen clashing on the Love Island star's Amazon docuseries, Behind It All Credit: Prime Video 14 Molly-Mae has revealed she's desperate to keep her family together Credit: Courtesy of Netflix

Kim Kardashian accidentally reveals something very strange inside her $60M mansion
Kim Kardashian shared several new images to Instagram on Sunday that were taken inside her $60M Hidden Hills, California mansion. The ex-wife of Kanye West had on no makeup as she tried on new SKIMS designs. 'Love finding closet pics in my phone,' the The Kardashians star wrote in her caption. The snaps looked benign at first, but on closer inspection, one single portrait stood out. But it was not because of what Kim looked like, but rather what her surroundings were like. In one of the photos the 44-year-old reality TV star accidentally revealed a strange thing in a bathroom as she wore a NY Yankees cap and had on a tank top with sweatpants. It was behind her as the mother-of-four was being tended to by a tattooed stylist wit fingerless gloves on. Can you tell what it is? Hint, it is on the left. It's a very large window inside her shower. That means that when the law school graduate strips off her clothing to wash up in the shower, the outside world can see her nude form. The window hits at the hip level, so plenty could be seen. Smarty, there is a tree outside her window which can keep prying eyes out as long as a drone doesn't fly by. It also helps that she has a gated property with plenty of security to keep anyone from looking into her shower. Still, most people would not have been comfortable with a window in a shower that has no drapes or blinds. There doesn't seem to be a tint on the window either, though knowing Kim, she may be able to hit a button that makes the window turn foggy. Even with the large window, the bathroom is a dream as it is large and a nice neutral tone. In the past, Kim has been knocked for the sink-free island in her bathroom. Years ago she shared a photo of the island and fans flipped that there was a faucet but no sink. Turns out there is a sink on the island but because the tone is a nude color, it was hard to see any depth. There is also a large bathtub and a huge mirror in her bathroom. These photos have been shared after Kim had a dramatic May that forced her to show up at the Paris robbery trial. Kardashian said she 'will never forget what happened' to her during the Paris robbery. After eight people were found guilty by a Paris court of crimes connected to the gunpoint robbery of Kim in 2016, she said she is 'deeply grateful to the French authorities for pursuing justice in this case'. Kim added in a statement to PEOPLE: 'The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family. While I'll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system.' Her attorneys Michael Rhodes, Léonor Hennerick and Jonathan Mattou added in their own statement that Kim 'appreciates the Court's decision and once again thanks the French authorities for treating her with great respect throughout the process'. They went on: 'It has been a long journey from that terrible night back in 2016 to her standing courageously in a historic Paris courtroom to confront these criminals. It is also hard to tell what this silver box is between two pairs of gladiator heels Kim sat for this portrait as she wore a suede jacket and long skirt 'She looks forward to putting this tragic episode behind her, as she continues working to improve the criminal justice system on behalf of victims, the innocent, and the incarcerated seeking to redeem themselves.' The eight suspects who were found guilty will all walk free due to the fact that they have served time previously. According to CNN, Judge David De Pas called the sentences 'quite lenient'.

Katie Price fans 'concerned' as she performs in skimpy outfit after latest procedure
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Katie Price put on a dazzling performance on stage Saturday (June 7) as she wowed fans at Portsmouth Pride. Performing her songs including 'A Whole New World' - her past duet with ex-husband Peter Andre, Katie Price was joined on the bill by stars including Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud, Sabrina Washington of Mis-Teeq fame, and Ella Morgan – notably linked to Price's beau, JJ Slater from Married At First Sight. Donning a risqué black bodysuit paired with a glittery hat spelling out 'PRICEY', Katie was a showstopper, flaunting her iconic assets and recently plumped up behind after undergoing a filler procedure she broadcasted live on social media in May. Yet as clips from her set made it to TikTok, users of the platform couldn't help but remark on her slender figure. On X, meanwhile, others voicing their concerns, including one person who declared: "I'm worried about Katie Price." While another simply reacted: "Oh dear." And echoing those sentiments, a third X user reflected: "I feel sorry for her, as it doesn't look like she has people around her that have her best interest at heart, by giving her sound advice. It's not funny, it's horrible." It's not the first time social media users have shown concern for the mum-of-five in recent times. In January this year, one tweeted: "Katie Price just popped up on my Instagram and I am so concerned. Maybe she's been like this for a while but is anyone looking out for her? She looks so unwell." It comes after fans admitted they were concerned over Katie's "frailty" earlier this year, after she shared her video of herself in a tracksuit. "Her friends and family are worried about her as she has lost a lot of weight very quickly, and she wants to go back under the knife for more work," a source told OK! at the time. The source elaborated: "She wants to have her ears corrected and her bum lifted with filler, but people who care about her are worried that she's not healthy or strong enough to be going on an operating table." (Image: Paul Jacobs/ Despite such concerns, Katie went through with enhancing her posterior in May. In a candid Snapchat update that same month, Katie addressed her followers about her weight loss - explaining that it had been wholly intentional after a foot injury and IVF attempts had led to weight gain. "Yes, I've lost weight," she confirmed. "Yes, that's what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." Meanwhile, in a conversation with Olivia Attwood on her So Wrong It's Right podcast last summer, Katie admitted she thought she had body dysmorphia – a mental health disorder characterised by an individual's fixation on perceived defects in their appearance. Katie voiced her intention to have more cosmetic procedures because she'd "never thought she was pretty."
