Married At First Sight Australia groom Scott McCristal has hard-launched his new girlfriend on social media, moving on from his ex-wife Gia Fleur after their explosive break-up played out on television.
During the final dinner party, the businessman broke down in tears and stormed out, throwing his wedding ring on the floor, as he and Gia confirmed their relationship was over for good. The emotional scenes followed Scott watching his former spouse flirt with her alternative match James, leading to accusations of betrayal.
Fast forward to May, and the 33-year-old has found love with fitness model Brienna Stockdale. Sharing an album of loved-up photos on Instagram, he captioned the post: 'Found you ❤️🔐 @briennastockdale.'
Fans were thrilled to see him happy, flooding the post with well wishes. One commented: 'I have never seen you so happy… i am so so happy for you both.' Another said: 'Watching you on MAFS my heart absolutely broke for you. What a genuinely lovely man you are.'
Co-stars also shared good vibes, with bride Stella Mickunaite writing: 'Hard launch !!!! Here for it !' David Momoh joked: 'My two favourites ❤️ Guess I gotta hide in the toilet alone now.' Some fans noted a resemblance between Brienna and Gia, but Scott appeared unfazed, pinning the post to the top of his profile.
Scott first hinted at a new relationship in April, telling a radio show he was seeing someone he already knew as a friend. Gia has since moved on as well, dating Aussie reality star Alan Wallace, whom she hard-launched on social media, telling fans she finally 'got the love story of her dreams'.
