Married At First Sight UK alumnus Dave Hand has been photographed sharing a series of passionate kisses with Sydney-based influencer Skye Clements, signalling a definitive move on from his tumultuous televised marriage. The intimate moment unfolded during a wild night out in Sydney on Saturday.
A Night of Passion at Pelicano
The pair were captured getting "hot and heavy" at the Ready or Not's 3rd birthday party, held at the Pelicano venue in the upscale suburb of Potts Point. Exclusive images obtained by the Daily Mail show the 38-year-old Gold Coast tradie, dressed in a cream knit shirt and cargo trousers, wrapping his tattooed arms around Skye in a dimly lit corner.
In the photos, Dave is seen leaning in close and pulling Skye towards him, while she reciprocated by cupping his face with her manicured hands. Skye, who wore a striking backless black gown that showcased her toned physique, appeared utterly smitten. Onlookers reported the couple shared multiple steamy kisses, seemingly unaware they were being photographed, and struggled to keep their hands off each other throughout the evening.
Moving On From MAFS Drama
This very public display comes in stark contrast to the emotional fallout from Dave's Married At First Sight experiment with Jamie Marinos. Jamie, 29, recently broke her silence about the profound stress of their relationship, revealing it led to breakouts, hair loss, and illness.
She explained she walked away because she felt misled, unsupported, and unsafe due to Dave's mixed signals. "I didn't feel like he missed me or that his feelings were growing," Jamie said in a raw final interview, adding, "I had to choose myself." She claimed Dave went silent after their reunion, prompting her to cut ties completely.
What's Next for Dave?
While Jamie focuses on healing, Dave appears to be embracing his single status with vigour. He attended the event with close friend and Love Triangle star Alan Wallace, and was also joined by fellow MAFS stars Ryan Donnelly and 2026 participants Chris Robinson and Gia Fleur.
An attendee at the party told the Daily Mail, "There was definitely chemistry. They couldn't keep their hands off each other." Whether this marks the start of a full-blown romance or is simply a very public flirtation remains unclear. However, one conclusion is evident: Dave Hand has officially entered his post-MAFS era, leaving the drama of his TV marriage firmly in the past.
