A surprise engagement has delighted fans of the reality TV show Married at First Sight, with contestants Jacqui and Clint publicly confirming they are set to marry in real life.
The couple shared their happy news during a viewing party for the MAFS reunion episode, hosted by So Dramatic! on Sunday evening.
In front of a room full of fans and friends, Clint dropped to one knee and proposed to Jacqui with a custom-made 5.08ct oval diamond solitaire ring set in platinum and 18ct yellow gold.
“You’re amazing and I know we signed up for MAFS to get married and find a life-long partner. So I’ve got one question for you,” Clint said before popping the question.
An emotional Jacqui burst into tears before enthusiastically accepting the proposal.
The pair confirmed their relationship publicly in recent weeks, with both speaking out publicly about their concerns around how they were portrayed by producers of the reality show.
Their path to finding each other was not straightforward, with both initially matched with different partners on the show.
Jacqui was previously paired with Ryan, while Clint had been matched with Lauren after her failed marriage to Eliot.
During the reunion, the couple said they were happy to have found each other despite their challenging journeys on the show.
“At least we found each other,” Jacqui said to Clint.
“I didn’t expect to meet anyone like you and I can’t believe a guy like Ryan wouldn’t see all the positives and how good you are,” Clint replied.
The couple are now living together at Clint’s property in Tasmania.
