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.
