‘We are baking something very special… Definitely our most beautiful creation yet. Little baby macaron is coming out in November,” they captioned the sweet post.

The couple, who made their romance public in 2017 after Nelly starred in 2016’s My Kitchen Rules with then-boyfriend JP Huillet, exchanged vows at Tiffany’s in Maleny overlooking the beautiful Glass House Mountains in May last year.
In May 2021, Nelly announced her engagement to the pastry chef and shared the happy news on her Instagram page.
“He liked it so he put a ring on it,” she gushed alongside a photo of the pair.
“I am so lucky to call you my fiancé, you are the love of my life and I can’t wait to spend my eternity with you.”
Adriano and Nelly made headlines in 2016 when they started dating shortly after they started working together.

Before meeting Adriano, Nelly was in a long-term relationship with JP Huillet, who was her partner on My Kitchen Rules.
Dubbed the “lovebirds,” the pair gushed about getting married during their time on the series.
Nelly and Adriano announced their relationship in 2017 while vacationing together in the Maldives.
JP apparently found out about the romance on social media.
Nelly’s relationship with the celebrity chef received a lot of media attention, with the pair forced to defend their controversial romance in the press.
Speaking to TV Week in June 2018, Adriano revealed that he was ‘used to criticism’ but stressed that their relationship was ‘stronger than ever’.

“Ultimately, you have to do what makes you happy — the people who love you and are around you are all that matters,” he said.
Adriano confirmed that they had moved on with the speculation about the affair.
“Nelly and I are fine. She’s a wonderful person and has been very supportive and loving – she’s always positive and loves life,” he said at the time.
JP Huillet finally found his happy ending in April 2021 when he tied the knot with dancer Lizzy Edwards in an intimate wedding ceremony in Byron Bay.
