Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli, who met and fell in love on the 2018 series of the show, are ready to make things official.
The pair took to their Instagram accounts to upload an adorable selfie, with the caption simply saying: “Mrs B”.
The photo shows Martha’s eye-popping diamond engagement ring from Armans Jewellery, which consists of an oval diamond centre stone and from what we can see, an emerald-cut diamond on either side of it.
A whole host of famous faces rushed to congratulate the pair, with radio host Chrissie Swan saying: “Congrats lovers”.
“Omfg CONGRATS,” Abbie Chatfield commented.
“CONGRATULATIONS,” Sophie Monk said, while Martha’s mother, Mary Kala, commented saying: “Congratulations. @mbrunelli the pressure is finally off now.”

Are the Married At First Sight weddings legally binding?
If you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I thought they were already married’, then you may not be alone, especially considering they donned the traditional wedding attire and walked down the aisle on Married At First Sight.
However it turns out the ‘marriages’ on Married At First Sight aren’t actually legally binding and are seen as commitment ceremonies.
“In order to comply with the Australian Marriage Act (1961) which requires one month and one day notification, a marriage in law was not conducted,” a Channel Nine spokesperson told NowToLove way back in 2015 when the first series aired.
“Each participant embarked on a commitment ceremony with a wedding celebrant with all due intention to commit fully to this union for the duration of the experiment.
“At the end of the experiment, they are given the option to continue with the relationship or go their separate ways.”
Martha and Michael won’t be the only couple to official marry after the show, as Cam and Jules, who also met and fell in love on the 2018 series of the show, tied the knot in Sydney in November 2019.
