Married At First Sight groom Ryan Donnelly appears to have well and truly moved on from his controversial stint on the Channel Nine social experiment.

The Project manager turned reality star was spotted getting cosy with UK MAFS bride Polly Sellman during the Seadeck Summer Series launch party in Sydney on Saturday.

The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they posed up on the deck of the luxe cruise while taking in sweeping views of Sydney Harbour.

Polly, who rose to fame on the UK version of the reality series in 2024, looked smitten with Ryan, 38, as she held his face tenderly and gazed into his eyes.

She turned heads in a figure-hugging black co-ord featuring a daring cut-out crop top with gold hardware and matching high-waisted pants, paired with sleek pointed heels.

Her hair was swept up in a high bun, accentuating her gold statement earrings and glowing glam.

An onlooker told Daily Mail the two reality stars ‘were inseparable the entire time,’ adding that ‘they looked really comfortable with each other, like they’ve known each other a while.’

The event was attended by a bevy of other reality stars including fellow MAFS groom Tony Mojanovski, and Made in Bondi’s Lawson Mahoney.

Also in attendance was Real Housewives of Sydney star Matty Samaei, who looked stunning in an animal print dress.

Polly, 28, made the move Down Under over Christmas, days after she pulled out of the MAFS UK reunion with two days notice.

The cast reunited for an explosive reunion episode in February, leading to tears, tantrums and turmoil.

Yet one face was notably absent from the episode, with Polly failing to show up after her romance with ex-husband Adam Nightingale came to an explosive end during the final dinner party.

Polly has documented her weight loss since leaving the show

Viewers watched the combative couple sling insults during the wild dinner party, with the career advisor branding her groom, 35, a ‘f*****g narcissist.’

After fans questioned why the beauty failed to film the reunion show, she took to TikTok to address their concerns.

Having filmed herself lip-syncing Alessia Cara’s hit track, Here, she captioned the post: ‘Seems fitting for everyone who’s asking me why I didn’t attend tonight.

‘I was also in Centre Parcs when filming was, and I pulled out 2 days before because it wasn’t the best decision for me at the time.

‘I wanted to stay with my best friends who genuinely cared about the head space I was in at the time.’

Since relocating to Australia, Polly has undergone a dramatic transformation since her time on the show.

She previously spoke about her weight loss on her Story as she posted saying: ‘I’ve just weighed myself (I know you shouldn’t at night) and I’m honestly gobsmacked that I’ve now lost nearly 4 stone… 4!!!! Since March!!!

‘I finished filming and I was 16 stone (have been there or thereabouts for 2 years) and now I’m 12.5.’
