Who knew they were friends? Jessika Power raises eyebrows as unlikely friendship with controversial Married At First Sight groom is revealed
Married At First Sight's Jessika Power sent tongues wagging on Saturday night when she was spotted cosying up to 2025 groom Adrian Araouzou. The unlikely duo were among the many stars who attended a Daily Mail event at Dry Martini in Sydney's Chippendale. The blonde bombshell, 32, turned heads in a figure-hugging scarlet satin gown featuring a daring thigh-high split and a dramatic knotted detail at the hip. She accessorised with strappy heels, a chic black designer clutch, and wore her short blonde locks in soft, Hollywood-style waves. Adrian, 36, looked effortlessly cool in wide-legged black trousers, a black T-shirt, white sneakers and a grey camouflage bomber jacket. Throughout the night, Jessika and Adrian were spotted chatting intimately and laughing together in a quiet corner of the venue. They posed for several photos, with Adrian draping his arm around Jessika as she snapped selfies on her iPhone, the pair smiling and leaning in close for the perfect shot. They were also seen sitting together on a plush emerald-green velvet couch, Jessika leaning towards Adrian as they engaged in deep conversation, sparking whispers among partygoers about their newfound connection. While Jessika and Adrian have not previously been linked, their surprise appearance together had onlookers wondering if something more could be brewing. The lavish birthday bash drew a who's who of reality TV, including MAFS stars Eliot Donovan, Katie Johnston, Rhi Disljenkovic, Paul Antoine, Ashleigh Ackerman, Tony Mojanovski, Ryan Donnelly, Beth Kelly, as well as Tayla Winter, Dean Wells and Harrison Boon. Also spotted mingling were The Bachelor's Juliette Herrera, Love Triangle's Alan Wallace, Chloe Hannigan and Payton Ellicott. Jessika rose to fame on season six of Married At First Sight in 2019, where she was married to Aussie farmer Mick Gould. The reality star ended her romance with her new boyfriend Ryan in March just weeks after going Instagram official. She previously explained in an Instagram Stories post that the pair had gone their separate ways, after his text messages to another woman were leaked. The former reality star explained that the pair were on a break from their relationship when the messages were sent and that no infidelity occurred. Last September, Jessika confirmed her split with British DJ Brent Anthony. The serial reality star made the confession in the comments of an Instagram post. A fan wrote under an image of the blonde in skimpy pink underwear: 'I'm sad you and Brent broke up, you looked so happy with him'. Jessika replied to the fan, writing, 'I really wasn't and I hid a lot of my emotions and embarrassment from the internet.' The former Married At First Sight star had hinted the romance was over just days prior. Jessika has appeared on a string of reality shows around the world since she found fame on MAFS Australia in 2019. She unveiled plans to return to Australia in 2024, after calling time on her two-year relationship with fellow British DJ Connor Thompson in June 2023. The upbeat star told fans last December she was 'saving money' to relocate home to Australia and is now based on the Gold Coast.

For Bezos and Sánchez, a Wedding of Secrets That Everyone Knows About
When staff built a striped tent covering the water taxi dock of the Aman Hotel in Venice, largely hiding the guests arriving for Jeff Bezos' wedding, it was just another insult to the many sweaty photographers who had been trying to cover an event that has been guarded with a stubborn veil of secrecy. 'Did Bezos arrive yet?' one reporter shouted on Wednesday as she slipped by on a water taxi called 'Confusion.' Nobody knew. Since their relationship became public six years ago, Ms. Sánchez and Mr. Bezos have seemed to enjoy the limelight. Their romance was on display at Wimbledon, at President Trump's second inauguration, at countless dinners and galas and in the glossy pages of gossip magazines. Yet, much about their wedding, in one of the world's most photographed cities, was being obscured even as the big weekend begins. It was even unclear whether the couple would technically be married in Venice, or if they would just celebrate their wedding in the city. Until few days ago, the dates were not certain. And even at the most-discussed locations, staffers said they had not been told whose event they were preparing for. transcript Bezos Wedding Divides Venice as Festivities Kick Off (shouting) 'Jeff, Jeff, Jeff!' 'Ivanka!' 'The problem, it's not the wedding. The problem is the system. We think that one big billionaire can't rent a city for his pleasure.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
