Ross McCarthy, who was the first deaf contestant on MAFS UK, posted a photo of himself with his girlfriend Magda on Instagram.
The image shows the pair out for a romantic walk together and Ross captioned it: "I love you more than words can ever show.
"Thank you for being my peace, my strength, and my heart. Forever grateful for you. Thank you for always supporting me.
"You're my world, and I appreciate everything you do. Couldn't do this without you."
Meanwhile, on the couple's joint account, the pair shared a video post of their day out.
The video was captioned: "Out for a romantic stroll… until the bugs joined our date."
The couple could be seen walking hand in hand through the countryside alongside a tree lined river.
As well as climbing some rocks together, the pair posed for some beautiful pictures.
However, eagle- eyed fans noticed that there was a black heart covering a part of Ross's body.
One asked: "What's his tat she keeps covering?"
MAFS UK viewers slam 'selfish' Sacha for 'making Ross choose between his daughter and her' as she bursts into tears
Another added: "Can i ask why in most photos an emoji is placed in a specific area to cover a tattoo?"
Magda was quick to respond and replied: "Covered cos it's not finished yet."
Sacha Jones, 29, married Ross, 32, at the start of MAFS when sparks flew and everything seemed perfect between the pair.
The couple then went from strength to strength in their marriage, with them dubbed as one of the strongest couples early on in the series.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.'
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?'
'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.'
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
But not everything progressed as well as it could for the couple when cracks began to show and Ross' temper began to flare.
And despite their vow renewal ceremony ending in married bliss, the couple split two weeks after filming wrapped.
The romance came to a sour conclusion when Sacha threw Ross out of her home over what she describes as "anger issues".
Not long afterwards, Ross allegedly sent her this message: 'We're done, I'm ending it. Don't text me again please, take care.'
Ross then moved on with beautician Magda, while Sacha turned to Christianity and vowed not to have sex until after she's married for real.

Olivia Attwood feud erupts as Maura takes drastic action with her and Pete Wicks
Maura Higgins has reportedly ditched Pete Wicks from her social media months after their split. And it appears that his close pal Olivia Attwood has also had the chop by the Irish beauty. The former Love Island star, 34, and TOWIE man, 37, called time on their brief romance in February after appearing to be growing closer. Shortly after, Maura made a comment about Pete "cheating". Her remarks had Olivia quick to defend her mate insisting that was not the case. She took to Instagram previously to say cheating is "not funny" and said Pete "didn't cheat". Now, following the incident, it appears that Maura has had enough of the pair and is moving on without them. According to the Sun, the duo have followed Maura's move and have also clicked the unfollow button on the reality TV star's account. Pete and Maura allegedly had a number of rocky rows prior to their split. They had initially started dating last year, but never officially went public with their link-up - nor did they deny it. They were, however, spotted looking cosy on a number of occasions. The pair are said to have known each other for six years before they took their connection to the next level. but only started dating in 2024. Rumours the ex The Only Way Is Essex hunk and former Love Island star were dating began to swirl last year as the Mirror revealed they shared a smooch at the Pride of Britain Awards in October. Maura later posted a steamy TikTok video of the pair practicing a dance move. In the clip, Pete was seen holding on to Maura's leg as she lay on the floor. She then pulled herself up into a standing position, before the duo shared a hug and Maura raised her arm towards the camera. At the time, the post sent fans into overdrive and questioning their relationship. During her stint in the I'm A Celebrity jungle, Maura kept her cards close to her chest, but gave little hints of their pairing. Away from her love life, Maura won't be returning to the American version of Love Island. She had previously hosted the stateside version of Aftersun. However, a new presenter has now been revealed. Maura, who was also the social media host of the show, reportedly won't return due conflicting schedule issues. Instead, she will be replaced by Sophie Monk. The star is already familiar with how Love Island works due to being the host of the Australian version. Maura's exit isn't thought to be an "axing" but is rather her stepping back. She is said to be focusing on other projects instead, with some fans believing she could come back to host Aftersun for the second season of Love Island Games, which is set to film in Fiji later this year.

EXCLUSIVE Former Married At First Sight bride Basic teases shock return to the hit reality show
Former Married At First Sight bride Ines Basic has sent fans into a frenzy after teasing a surprise return to the show that made her a household name. The outspoken reality star, 34, who rose to fame on season six of the Channel Nine series back in 2019, took to Instagram on Tuesday to make the bold claim that she's heading back down the aisle. 'I just got my nails done for the first time in so long and it's 'cause I'm getting married,' she announced in a video shared to her Stories. 'I'm going on MAFS again and so I got my bridal nail. So excited.' Ines then dropped a cryptic hint about her future match. 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. 'I hope they give me like… I'm not gonna say it, I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut,' she said, adding, 'Let's see what type of guy I get.' But fans shouldn't get too excited just yet. While the eyebrow-raising comments quickly sparked speculation of a return, insiders believe the post was likely a stunt designed to generate headlines rather than a genuine announcement. With Channel Nine locking down the identities of all MAFS participants under strict non-disclosure agreements, it's highly unlikely Basic has been cast in the upcoming 2026 season. It also comes after producers rubbished ongoing rumours of an 'All-Stars' or celebrity edition of the controversial dating experiment, insisting no such version is currently in development. Despite ongoing speculation and a flood of former participants throwing their hats in the ring for a second chance at love, the show's production team has confirmed there are no current plans to bring back past contestants or cast household names. Executive producer Tara McWilliams previously addressed the speculation in a statement to Daily Mail Australia, saying: 'Never say never, but it's not ever been on our radar.' And former executive producer John Walsh, who departed the network earlier this year, echoed the sentiment. 'I don't think anyone would really believe it. You know, I think that's the reason it wouldn't happen,' he told Daily Mail Australia, adding that the appeal of MAFS lies in ordinary people doing the extraordinary. The denial comes after reports earlier this year that Nine quietly floated the idea of a 'MAFS All-Stars' format, which would see returning brides and grooms from past seasons back in the experiment. Industry insiders claimed that producers had reached out to a number of fan-favourite personalities - including Cheryl Maitland (season four) and Melissa Lucarelli (season six) - to gauge interest. But according to insiders, the network ultimately pulled the pin on the idea, deciding instead to stay true to the show's core format and cast newcomers for its 2026 season. 'They felt most of the returnees were more interested in another shot at fame than actually finding love,' a production source told Daily Mail Australia. 'It just didn't feel authentic anymore.' One insider added that the show works best with unknowns, where the relationships and the chaos unfold in real-time. 'Viewers want to meet fresh faces and watch things unravel,' the source said. 'That's the magic of MAFS.' Even fan-favourites like Tahnee Cook, who was rumoured to be in talks for an All-Stars edition, quickly shut down the speculation. 'I seriously have no idea where that rumour has come from… I absolutely wouldn't go back,' she recently said. 'I survived it once unscathed. I wouldn't risk it again.' While names like Jamie Marinos and Carina Mirabile have expressed interest in returning to the show or doing more TV, they'll need to find other formats to scratch the reality itch. For now, MAFS will return in early 2026 with a brand new cast and no familiar faces. A casting notice circulated earlier this year and confirmed that filming for Season 13 would take place between July and November 2025, with producers currently finalising their shortlist of brides and grooms. And while fans might be disappointed not to see some of their favourite troublemakers back at the table, insiders promise the 2026 cast will be just as wild. 'There's no shortage of drama – trust us. MAFS never fails to deliver,' the source added.
