MAFS groom Ryan Donnelly shares steamy kiss with infamous influencer Suzan Mutesi at her wild birthday bash following split from Jacqui Burfoot
Ryan Donnelly appears to be moving on in a spectacular way.
The controversial Married At First Sight groom was spotted getting extremely cosy with notorious socialite Suzan Mutesi at a raucous Studio 54-themed party over the weekend, just weeks after his split from TV bride Jacqui Burfoot.
The pair were snapped packing on the PDA in a dark booth at Pelicano in Sydney 's Potts Point, leaving fellow party goers stunned as they passionately kissed in full view of the room.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal the steamy clinch went down during Suzan's wild 39th birthday bash - and according to insiders, things between the two were 'nothing short of X-rated'.
'He was all over her,' one guest revealed. 'Everyone was whispering and watching - it was impossible to ignore.'

Mutesi, dubbed the 'fake influencer' after it was alleged that she inflated her follower count and Hollywood connections, appeared unbothered by the attention.
She dressed to impress in a barely-there silver sequin mini-dress with sheer cut-outs and dramatic shoulder detailing.
The social media sensation completed the look with platinum locks and glossy glam makeup.
Donnelly, 38, looked a tad dishevelled as he clung to the glamorous birthday girl.
His ex, Jacqui, has yet to comment on her former groom's headline-grabbing night out.
The PDA spectacle stole the spotlight at an already star-studded night, which brought together a glittering (and chaotic) crowd of reality TV stars for the disco-themed bash.
Former MAFS brides Alyssa Barmonde and Olivia Frazer turned heads as they arrived together in glitzy mini-dresses.
The bash, hosted by Belvedere Vodka and Pelicano, transformed the venue into a retro party zone complete with disco balls, sequin frocks, and flowing champagne.
Also in attendance were MAFS grooms Tony Mojanovski and James Pappalardo.
FBOY Island's Joey Robson, Love Island star Aidan Knox, and Beauty and the Geek's Aaron Seeto with his girlfriend Caitlin Stewart, likewise came along.
Nineties 'It Girl' Tali Jatali made an entrance in a leopard-print bodysuit with a plunging neckline.
She paired it with a baby-blue micro mini and white knee-high boots, exuding Studio 54 excess.
Meanwhile, MAFS intruder brides Lauren Dunn and Veronica Cloherty were spotted mingling in the VIP section, staying clear of the Ryan-Suzan PDA storm.
Dean Wells also made an appearance alongside his fiancée Aimee Woolley.
The former reality star embraced the theme with a blush cardigan and white jeans, while Aimee shimmered in a teal velvet halter jumpsuit and gold accessories.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach review – a hypnotising art-house game with an A-list cast
What is Death Stranding 2 trying to say? It's a question you will ask yourself on many occasions during the second instalment of Hideo Kojima's hypnotising, mystifying, and provocatively slow-paced cargo management simulator series. First, because during the many long and uneventful treks across its supernatural vision of Mexico and Australia, you have all the headspace in the world to ponder its small details and decipher the perplexing things you just witnessed. And second, because the question so often reveals something profound. That it can stand up to such extended contemplation is a marker of the fine craftsmanship that went into this game. Nobody is scribbling down notes to uncover what Doom: The Dark Ages is getting at or poring over Marvel Rivals' cutscenes for clues, fantastic as those games are. It is rare for any game to invite this kind of scrutiny, let alone hold up to it. But Death Stranding 2 is a different kind of game, one with the atmosphere and narrative delivery of arthouse cinema, light of touch in its storytelling but exhaustive in its gameplay systems, and the tension between the two makes it so compelling. At first you brave one for the other; then, over time, you savour both. For anyone who missed the first Death Stranding, yes, this really is the second in a series of games about moving cargo between waypoints, on foot or by vehicle; delivering packages of food, tech and luxury items, like a post-apocalyptic Amazon driver. A mysterious event fundamentally changed the world at the start of the first game, allowing the dead to return to the realm of the living as spectral entities known as Beached Things (BTs). When a BT kills a human, it creates a disastrous event called a 'voidout', a kind of supernatural nuclear bomb explosion that leaves behind nothing but a vast crater. With humanity fragmented and sequestered in underground bunkers, protagonist Sam Porter Bridges (Norman Reedus) was entrusted with connecting the remaining pockets of civilisation in the US to a global tech infrastructure called 'the chiral network', restoring hope for a better tomorrow. He managed it, too, making it across the entire continent with a sort of supernatural infant, Lou, carried in an artificial womb. As this sequel begins he is enjoying a secluded life in Mexico with Lou, now a toddler. And believe me, those are the scantest cliff notes possible. Death Stranding 2 begins with six solid minutes of cutscenes that attempt to convey the strange world of sci-fi and poetic metaphors that Kojima has constructed, and even that feels like a cursory summary. Decrypting the mysteries is half the fun here (the other half being the box-shifting) but even if you don't engage that deeply with the world, it follows its own kind of dreamlike logic and starts to make intuitive sense. It is not clear whether Death Stranding 2's Australian once looked like the one we know, for example, or whether it was always a patchwork of Icelandic tundra, snowcapped mountains and multicoloured desert. What matters is that it feels consistent. Meditative it may be, but this isn't a game about watching Sam enjoy retirement and fatherhood for 50 hours. He is inevitably called back into action, this time reconnecting the Mexican and Australian populations to the chiral network for an outfit called Drawbridge, a logistics company funded by an unknown benefactor and headed by returning character Fragile (Léa Seydoux). If that sounds a bit dry, what if I told you that Fragile wears a pair of long Greta Garbo gloves around her neck, which she can move like a second set of hands? A swashbuckling gang of assists Sam on his mission, following him around on the DHV Magellan, a ship with more A-listers on board than a Cannes red carpet. Seydoux, George Miller, Guillermo del Toro, Nicolas Winding Refn, Elle Fanning and Shioli Kutsuna all give brilliant performances, as does veteran game actor Troy Baker as chief baddie Higgs. The major characters exist primarily as poetic devices and morbid metaphors: Rainy (Kutsuna) is an ostracised optimist who makes it rain whenever she goes outside; Tarman (Miller) lost a hand to supernatural tar, and can now use it to guide the ship through its currents; Heartman (Darren Jacobs) dies and is reborn every few minutes. By rights, they should all be simply too strange to invoke pathos, but there are rare moments when the allegory is dialled down and they interact in human and poignant ways. If you don't feel a lump in your throat watching Rainy and Tomorrow (Fanning) sing together, it's not just Deadman who is dead inside. Package delivery is, strangely, depicted to the highest of gameplay standards. It sounds boring, but you can't help get pulled in by the magnetic draw of these detailed systems. In the last game, combat felt like an afterthought, but there is more of it this time as missions bring you into conflict with both BTs and other humans, and it is supported by typically slick mechanics that make launching a grenade or snapping a neck feel equally gratifying. You can fabricate tools to take with you – ladders and climbing ropes for mountainous routes, assault rifles and grenades when a fight is likely. The pleasure is as much in the preparation as it is in the action; it feels good to impose some order on an otherwise chaotic and unknowable world. That's probably why we all baked so much banana bread during lockdown. Kojima had a draft for Death Stranding 2's story before the Covid-19 pandemic, but rewrote it from scratch after being locked down along with the rest of the world. You don't have to look too hard to see the influences – a population that is too scared to go outside, governments that promise to save you by putting an end to travel and physical contact, the profound loneliness of Sam's job as a porter travelling solo across barren landscapes. Fittingly, you can interact with other players, but only at a distance, sharing equipment, building structures and leaving holographic signs and likes for other players in their own games. This ends up being a biting piece of lockdown satire – as time goes by the world becomes clogged up with flickering icons, and as more structures appear you are confronted by constant 'like' symbols. It feels like the mind-numbing attention spam of social media, and there's no way this is an accident. The first game had the advantage of surprise. Death Stranding 2 does not. Much of what is good – and what is tedious – about this game was also true of the last, but at the same time it has refined each bizarre element. Combat feels punchier, the world map more hand-crafted, missions more varied. Asking you to do all of that schlepping about all over again in a whole new game should feel like a practical joke, but it is so mechanically rich and loaded with meaning, you just nod and don the backpack a second time. Of the many things Death Stranding 2 is trying to say, the message that comes to the fore is: you are never truly alone. Global disasters, big tech, even death itself – these things might abstract the way we connect to one another, but they can't sever the connection altogether. Not bad for a game about delivering boxes. Death Stranding 2 is released on 26 June, £69.99/US$69.99/A$124.95

I'm a professional girlfriend making £1,000 per date- now I've fallen in love with one of my clients
A professional girlfriend who makes £1,000 per date revealed she may give up her career after falling for one of her clients. Ruby Jade, 24, from Brisbane, Australia, once vowed to never date unless she was getting paid for it. However Ruby one date recently left Ruby so 'smitten' she refused to take any money from the female client. Ruby, who also works as a dancer in a strip club, is a 'professional girlfriend' as a 'side hustle' meaning she's often jetting off to luxury holiday destinations or enjoying meals at 5-star restaurants. Despite being classed as a sex worker, Ruby said she never has sex with clients. She started off doing OnlyFans in 2020 which progressed over time into securing a job in a strip club. Speaking about how she met her new partner Ruby, who boasts over 25,000 followers on TikTok, explained: 'This was the first time I've dated a woman. 'I had met her before, she came into the strip club on her birthday and spent [a lot of money] on me. 'But I hadn't really spoken to her [in person] until she booked me for a paid date. 'I knew immediately I didn't want her to pay a single penny to see me again. I was smitten. 'When I laid my eyes on her, something just clicked; it was a feeling I had never experienced before. 'She was a fan of my TikTok and had seen me at a local club a couple of times. 'As it turns out, she also has men fork out to spend time with her, so she understands the business.' Ruby and her lover, who she does not wish to name for privacy reasons, are now dating, but they both still work as professional girlfriends. She said: 'I kept thinking that this might actually be the real deal. After going on all these dates with men, who thought I'd fall for my first woman client. 'She's absolutely beautiful, inside and out, and I feel extremely lucky. 'For the first time ever, I picked up the entire bill. It's crazy what love can do to you.' Neither of the pair get jealous over their respective careers dating men for cash, nor would they ever consider quitting this line of work for each other. However Ruby, and her new love are taking things slow and revealed they have refrained from having sex. She added: 'All of these emotions and we haven't had sex yet. I'm just waiting for the right time; I want it to be special. Because of our sex work, we have low drives anyway. 'I don't want her to ever pay a penny to spend time with me – but we're going to split everything going forward to make it fair.' Ruby, who is on track to become a millionaire, claims she's already been showered with £3,000 worth of gifts so far this year. This includes a five-star two-night trip, a brand new Amazon Alex hub, two smart lamps, a bathmat and outdoor rug. Despite being classed as a sex worker, Ruby said she never has sex with clients, she started off doing OnlyFans in 2020 which progressed over time into securing a job in a strip club The most amount a client has ever offered Ruby for her time was recently at £8,666 ($18,000 AUD) She also works as a dancer in a strip club, though her professional girlfriend side hustle is now more lucrative. Rub previously explained that men who want to be submissive have paid for her haircuts and groceries. Others have taken her out on dates - and paid for her time as well as covering the cost of a luxury meal, drinks and entertainment. Ruby said: 'I went on a spa date before, with drinks and dinner and a massage. 'Generally when I go to dinners, I don't go easy on their wallets. I'll happily rack up a bill of $250+ and then I ask to take home leftovers!' She added that, one time, a generous client booked a hotel room for her in a 5-star hotel - and only spent two hours with her. But he paid for two days at the luxurious accommodation, so Ruby brought her friends along and turned her stay into a mini girls' holiday. Ruby said she has one regular client she has worked with for a long time and trusts enough to go abroad with. She said: 'We're planning a holiday to Singapore together and he's paying me over $4k as well as the cost of the trip. 'We won't even be in the same room!'

Jack Vidgen appears in good health as he attends church service with his mother after seventh stint in rehab
Jack Vidgen is on the mend after a recent stint in rehab. The troubled former Australia's Got Talent star stepped out on Sunday for a visit to a local Sydney church with his mum. The pop singer was joined by mother Rachel Hayton, with the pair enjoying a coffee and a walk after the service. Jack appeared in good health and good spirits as he strolled along sipping from a takeaway cup and puffing on a vape. He kept warm in a crisp white hoodie paired with pale blue track pants and a pair of sneakers. 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. Jack completed his look with a pair of sunglasses and chatted happily to his mum, who brought her dog along for the walk. He had earlier sat down at a local cafe with his mum and enjoyed a spirit conversation that left him smiling. It comes after Jack shared a heartbreaking 'belated' Mother's Day message to his mum ahead of his seventh visit to rehab. The 28-year-old, who announced earlier this year that he was once again battling addiction in a rehab centre after a recent relapse, shared the sweet post for his followers. He included a selfie, in which his adoring mother can be seen embracing him on a park bench. Jack said it was a 'late' Mother's Day post, explaining he didn't get to see his mum for the big day earlier that month. He also confessed that when the picture was taken his mother had travelled to see him and asked him to get him professional help for his addiction battle, but he refused. 'I took this pic of mum and I on the 16th April, last month. It was right in the middle of my relapse,' he continued. 'She'd driven from down from the coast, where she lives, in hopes we would have coffee and that I would come back with her and maybe check in to rehab. 'I saw how much it broke her heart as I told her I had no plans of getting sober and that I wouldn't be coming back with her. 'I know that being the person with the addiction is hard, but being a family member, I think especially a parent of someone who goes through addiction, would be so painful and would leave you feeling helpless. 'Mum, you are an absolute angel and warrior. You've been through so much yourself and you've loved and supported me through this battle with such compassion yet also giving me tough love when I've needed it. 'You're an incredible woman and are so loved by so many, I hope you know that.' He signed off the message 'Bestest mum in the whole wide world' and added two kisses. Jack earlier posted to social media with a tearful message to share the sad news that he had returned to a rehabilitation centre for the seventh time. The singer explained he recently suffered a relapse and was once again fighting addiction. 'Hi, this is not the video I was hoping to make five months down the track after [not] posting anything on Instagram,' Jack said. Choking back sobs, Jack detailed his recent experience. 'I relapsed, that was two months ago,' he said. 'Just like that - I feel like I've let a lot of people down and I wasn't going to talk about it again, because half of me is like "Oh shut up Jack, no one wants to hear it."' Jack also revealed he made a police 'report' over an unspecified matter that has led him to 'feeling scared'. 'But I just feel like I need to tell someone that I have a situation coming up in a couple of months...' he continued. 'I just feel think I'm just really scared. I've been really scared for so many years.' He signed off by telling followers he was not 'doing okay' but he would be 'okay'. Jack, who has often taken to social media over the years to share his addiction troubles, also posted a lengthy caption for the video. He signed off by telling followers he was not 'doing okay' but he would be 'okay' 'I made a police report five years ago and it's just been lingering like this dark cloud over my life for so long and I just want it to be over and I think I just wanted to do a reach out,' he said. 'If you're a victim you understand. If you're a victim through addiction you'd understand even more. 'It's just been really hard and i don't know I just want to talk about it because I want to talk about it with people but they don't get it. 'Anyway the point of this video was just to check in and say hello and just let you know that i'm not doing okay but I will be doing okay.' Elsewhere in the post Jack said: 'I'm scared for the future. As I mentioned I have a situation coming up in the next couple months that's been lingering for the last 5 years. Something that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. I've been so terrified but it's time I step into my strength and my truth. 'As a victim of sexual abuse I will get through this. Alive. I love you all. Jack x.' The performer rose to fame after winning the fifth season of Australia's Got Talent in 2011. After bowing out of the spotlight for a few years, he returned to prominence in 2019 as a contestant on The Voice. He made it all the way to the semi-finals before being eliminated.
