Rebecca 'Bec' Zacharia turned heads as she stepped out for birthday celebrations in Adelaide, flaunting her incredible weight loss in a figure-hugging ensemble from Zara. The Married At First Sight star wore a white dress with a square neckline, wide straps, and embroidery with faux pearl appliqué, accessorising with a Dior saddlebag worth $7,000.
Bec, 35, has lost 27kg over the past year through a combination of keto diet, Pilates, and weight training. She says the physical transformation has been accompanied by a significant boost in self-esteem, after years of battling self-loathing. 'I hated myself for my whole life, I thought that I was ugly,' she admitted, but now feels confident enough to believe love is possible.
The Adelaide-based account manager is paired with Melbourne real estate agent Danny Hewitt on the upcoming season of MAFS. She acknowledges the experience is daunting, as every moment will be scrutinised by viewers, but hopes to make her family proud while representing South Australia.
Earlier this week, Bec was spotted at a local shopping centre, perusing magazines at a supermarket checkout, likely looking for coverage of her MAFS journey. The new season continues Sunday at 7pm on Channel Nine.
