Eliot Donovan and Jamie Marinos took Australian Fashion Week by storm when they stepped out together just a month after Season 12 of Married At First Sight Australia wrapped its run.
Jamie, who ended the show committing to her husband Dave Hand, has now been unfollowed by the Melbourne native, despite admitting that she had fallen in love with him.

Her blonde hair was tied back in a sleek bun with pieces falling artfully to frame her face and she added a pair of chic sunglasses.
Her rumoured new beau, Eliot, looked suave in a black polo shirt and black trousers as he and Jamie addressed the speculation surrounding their romance.

Eliot then pretended to take a knee and propose to his close friend, causing a fit of laughter for the duo before he set the record straight and revealed they were "taking things slow".
Despite showing up in each other's social media videos frequently, they shared that they were not living together and were still in the early days of dating.
Taking things slow

"I hang out heaps with Eliot. He's become a very good, very close person to my life so I'm really appreciative of Eliot," she said.
"I understand everyone wants an answer but we're in the real world now, so it's not like we're going to be official or announce something tomorrow."

"We only started hanging around each other since we both left our marriages, just over a month ago. He's always been a very good friend to me, but he's been a really amazing support system."
"We have so much fun together, getting to know each other, and making TikToks are always so much fun," she concluded. Fans have already given the pair their own couple's name – Jelliot.
Tick of approval

"I think they’re just good mates, I think she's still, you know, going through the motions of her and Dave's relationship, and probably just needs to keep dissecting that and probably grow from that," she told Chattr.
"I think [Jamie and Eliot] suit each other," she added. "The only thing is, they're in different states, so they've got to sort that out. But I think they look absolutely incredible together. They would make a good match."
