Married At First Sight bride Gia Fleur has been photographed enjoying a romantic night out in Melbourne with her new boyfriend Alan Wallace, after confirming their secret romance. The 35-year-old reality star was seen strolling along Southbank after dinner in January, putting on an affectionate display with her new man as the pair spent the evening with friends before leaving the restaurant together.
The sighting marks the first time the couple have been seen publicly since Daily Mail revealed their off-screen romance, which blossomed in the months after Gia's turbulent television marriage to Scott McCristal began to unravel. Dressed for a fun night out, Gia turned heads in a plunging white halter-style top paired with a flowing orange patterned maxi skirt, layered with an oversized beige blazer and strappy white heels.
Alan, also 35, opted for a more casual look, wearing a black T-shirt, slim blue jeans and white sneakers, showing off his tattooed arms as he walked beside Gia. The pair were seen laughing together and putting their arms around one another while leaving the restaurant with their group, before later splitting from friends to continue the night alone.
The cosy outing comes after Gia confirmed to Daily Mail that her relationship with Alan had quietly developed behind the scenes while her TV marriage continued to play out on national television. In a candid interview, she admitted she could no longer keep up the illusion that her marriage was still intact. 'Navigating the new relationship has been hard, which is why I've done no Stan show and minimal press because I can't keep pretending I'm with Scott when I'm so in love with Alan,' she said.
Gia revealed the pair first began speaking toward the end of filming before meeting properly at a Sydney party in December, with the relationship becoming official around New Year's Eve. 'When I saw Alan for the first time I knew I liked him because I was getting super jealous of him speaking to another girl,' she confessed. 'I was instantly like that's my man - he just doesn't know it yet.'
