EXCLUSIVE Married At First Sight groom Tony Mojanovski is all smiles as he steps out for dinner with co-star Ryan Donnelly in Sydney after suffering heart attack
Married At First Sight groom Tony Mojanovski proved he's well and truly on the mend as he stepped out for a boys' dinner with co-star Ryan Donnelly in Sydney on Sunday night. The reality TV star, 53, who recently revealed he suffered a heart attack, was spotted leaving popular Italian eatery La Favola in Newtown, flashing a wide smile as he laughed alongside his Channel Nine castmate. Tony kept things casual in a white hoodie and dark jeans paired with crisp white sneakers. Despite his recent health scare, the council worker looked to be in good spirits as he joked with Ryan and another pal. Ryan, 37, who stirred controversy during his time on the show, rugged up for the autumn chill in a tan shearling-lined jacket layered over a plain white T-shirt and black jeans. He finished off the look with brown Chelsea boots. The pair were joined by their close friend James Pappalardo, a Sydney-based model known for his suave style and social appearances. At one point, Tony and Ryan were seen erupting into laughter outside the restaurant, clearly enjoying the night out as they shared a playful moment in front of the cameras. It comes after Tony was admitted to Wollongong Hospital last month morning after experiencing ongoing chest pains. Tony underwent emergency surgery later that day, with doctors performing a coronary artery bypass graft to treat the blockage and save his life. Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia from his hospital bed, Tony said he was now in a stable condition and feeling much better after the terrifying ordeal. 'Luckily I went straight to the doctors,' he explained. 'During the week I wasn't feeling well. It has been happening for a long time - I was just feeling not right, like something was on my chest every now and then, giving me heartburn and stuff like that.' Tony said the persistent symptoms eventually became too much to ignore. The pair were joined by their close friend James Pappalardo, a Sydney-based model known for his suave style and social appearances 'I felt a bit off too. That's why I thought, you know what, I'm going to take it easy this week because it was just too much,' he said. Reflecting on the health scare, Tony admitted it was 'pretty scary' and revealed there could be a family link to heart issues. 'My mum passed away from an aneurysm,' he said, adding that smoking, stress and partying may have contributed to his health decline. 'I was smoking, the cigarettes, the stress, being on the boat, partying - just too many things. It caught up with me, mate,' he admitted. Tony said he now plans to slow down and prioritise his health moving forward. 'I just need some time without the partying,' he added. Despite undergoing major surgery, Tony appeared in good spirits when his MAFS co-star Ryan Donnelly paid him a surprise visit at hospital. Ryan shared a heartwarming photo to Instagram showing him leaning over Tony's hospital bed, the pair laughing and clutching each other's hands. Tony wore a white T-shirt and grey shorts as he lay comfortably in bed, flashing a big smile, while Ryan sported a black short-sleeve shirt and beige pants as he leaned in for a hug. 'Tony Time had a brief intermission dropped by to see my best mate and he was literally on the phone with Adrian [Araouzou]. Can't keep a good Macedonian man down, he'll be back to his best in no time!' Ryan captioned the post. Tony was paired with DJ and wedding MC Morena Farina, 57, on this year's season of Married At First Sight, where he quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his laid-back attitude and old-school charm.

MAFS star Tony Mojanovski reveals the symptoms he ignored before being rushed to hospital with heart attack
Married At First Sight Australia's Tony Mojanovski has opened up about his recent heart attack, the crucial signs he missed and the split decision that saved his life. The former TV groom, 53, who was paired with Morena Farina in the experiment, was admitted to hospital three weeks ago, suffering a heart attack after working out at the gym. Speaking to Nine, the business owner revealed that he wasn't feeling a hundred percent on the day, saying that he experienced a 'scratchy' chest pain that he had been dealing with for a few years. But a gut instinct told him to take it seriously. Tony's decision to 'listen' to his body and leave the gym to see a doctor 'saved his life', for what he was experiencing was a heart attack. 'The little symptoms I was feeling in the two years caught up to me,' he revealed. The doctor, recognising Tony's symptoms, proceeded to send him straight to Wollongong Hospital, where he collapsed shortly after arriving. 'I was pretty much on death's door because I had a 100 per cent blockage, and then I had a blood clot in there as well,' he told Nine. Tony underwent emergency surgery later that day, with doctors performing a coronary artery bypass graft to treat the blockage and save his life. Now, following the frightening experience, Tony urges all men to listen to their body when something is up and to not ignore the signs. 'I tell all my friends and a lot of men my age – "don't hide"' he said, adding that if you're feeling unsure about your symptoms, just go to the doctor and get checked out. In April, the former MAFS contestant spoke to Daily Mail Australia from his hospital bed, assuring fans that he was now in a stable condition and feeling much better after the terrifying ordeal.
