Married At First Sight star Belinda Vickers has found love again, two years after splitting from her on-screen husband, Patrick Dwyer.
The red-haired beauty, 31, announced on Friday that she is in a relationship with millionaire bar owner Hayden Burbank.
In 2021, Mr Burbank was jailed for three months after breaking Covid rules during the height of the pandemic.
He hopped across the border into the Northern Territory before traveling to Western Australia to watch Melbourne Demons win at Perth Stadium.
To evade WA’s strict border rules at the time, he forged a rental agreement at an address in Darwin, while also fraudulently obtaining NT driver’s licenses.

Burbank owns the trendy Morris Jones bar in Melbourne, a hot spot for reality stars and glamorous influencers.
On Friday, Belinda posted a much-loved photo with the posh restaurateur.
And while it was her first time posting a photo of them publicly, she alluded to the fact that they’ve been together for a while, captioning it, “15 months of love.”
In the photo, the happy couple wrapped their arms around each other as they smiled broadly at the camera.

Their relationship blossomed after the bar owner spent 90 days behind bars in WA’s Hakea maximum security prison, earning him the nickname “border violator.”
Mr Burbank described his experience in one of Australia’s toughest prisons as ‘the ultimate game of Survivor’.
“You have to form alliances and not do stupid things and get through each day,” he told the Saturday Herald Sun March 2022.

“It’s the longest days of your life. I’m not built for prison. No one is made for prison.’
The Chapel St pub owner shared a cell with one of the prison’s best dogs, a bikie, who woke him up every morning and taunted: ‘Border violator, border violator’.
Belinda shot to fame on season eight of Married At First Sight, which airs in 2021.
She and her on-screen husband Patrick Dwyer were considered the “golden couple” of the series, but separated after nine months.
