EXCLUSIVE Married At First Sight groom Paul Antoine sparks romance rumours with glamorous Sydney influencer
Married At First Sight's Paul Antoine has wasted no time moving on from his reality TV heartbreak – and it seems he's set his sights on a striking new muse.
The 30-year-old former FIFO wellness coach was spotted getting close to glamorous Sydney influencer Skye Clements at the NEON MGMT x Midtown Bar & Lounge's Sydney Fashion Week Afterparty last week - and the chemistry was sizzling.
Held at the newly refurbished Midtown Lounge in Sydney's CBD, the fashion-forward bash was a who's who of Sydney and Gold Coast socialites.
The event featured a DJ spinning tracks behind a marble-clad booth and guests sipping custom mini cocktails like the Cherry Palm Colada and Pickle Margarita Fizz.
But it was Paul and Skye who truly stole the spotlight.

'Paul and Skye immediately hit it off,' an insider spilled to Daily Mail Australia. 'They barely left each other's side all night – it was flirty, fun, and you could feel the spark.'
After mingling at the Midtown party, the pair were seen leaving together and heading to late-night hotspot Pelicano in Potts Point.
And while it may have started as a Fashion Week fling, sources say the pair have stayed in contact - and it's heating up.
'They've been Facetiming non-stop ever since,' the source added. 'Paul's even been telling friends he wants to relocate to Sydney just so he can take her out again.'
The pair were introduced by Skye's close friend, model James Pappalardo, who was also in attendance.
Paul wasn't the only MAFS groom making the rounds – Adrian Araouzou, Ryan Donnelly and Tony Mojanovski were all spotted at the event.
Also spotted at the exclusive party was former bride Selina Chhaur.
Guests were treated to personalised drinks menus, plush booths, and fashion-forward flair as influencers and reality stars rubbed shoulders over lychee-infused cocktails and glam banter.
Paul was paired with Perth-based digital marketing manager Carina Mirabile.
They navigated early challenges, including partner swap week and emotionally charged honesty letters, which initially seemed to strengthen their bond.
However, their relationship took a dramatic turn following a heated argument after Carina revealed a past relationship with rapper Quavo.
Further strain was added when Paul chose to go on a date with another woman during the show's final task, a decision that deeply hurt Carina and contributed to the erosion of trust between them.
At the Final Vows ceremony, Paul expressed his desire to continue the relationship, but Carina decided to end it, citing the cumulative issues they had faced.
While Paul attempted to reconnect with Carina after filming concluded, she declined, stating that although there was no animosity, she did not wish to rekindle the relationship.
Their tumultuous journey highlighted the challenges of building a relationship under intense scrutiny and the importance of trust and respect in a partnership.
