Married At First Sight groom Scott McCristal has been spotted returning home from Turkey with his new girlfriend, Brienna Stockdale, following her recent nose job.
The Gold Coast finance broker, 33, kept his arm wrapped around the registered nurse and cosmetic injector as the couple made their way through the airport with their luggage.
Brienna, who has been documenting her cosmetic-surgery journey at Clinichub in Turkey on social media, still had a splint across her nose following the procedure.
Despite the long journey home, the brunette appeared in good spirits as she walked alongside her reality-star boyfriend.
She dressed comfortably for the flight in an oversized grey sweatshirt, loose cream trousers and black sandals.
The model carried a large Louis Vuitton tote and kept close to Scott as they waited with two sizeable suitcases.

Scott was equally casual in a black sweater, brown shorts and trainers, completing his travel outfit with a backpack and layered necklaces.
At one point, the former MAFS groom was seen checking his phone while Brienna stood beside their luggage.
The pair later shared an affectionate moment, with Scott pulling his girlfriend close and resting his arm around her shoulders.
Their arrival comes after Brienna shared regular updates from Turkey in recent days, taking followers behind the scenes of her nose surgery and recovery.
Scott’s supportive appearance alongside her marks another milestone for the couple, who have been quietly dating since the beginning of the year.
Daily Mail revealed in May that Scott had officially moved on from his television bride, Gia Fleur, with the Gold Coast-based cosmetic injector.
The couple hard-launched their romance at Prestige Rental’s exclusive yacht party aboard the Queen Royal, where they appeared loved-up as they posed together.
Scott said at the time he no longer wanted to keep their relationship under wraps.

‘I don’t want to hide it anymore,’ he told Daily Mail.
‘I want to be able to show my girlfriend, because I’m proud of her and I’m proud of the relationship I have.’
Asked whether publicly debuting Brienna signalled the end of his MAFS chapter, Scott was definitive.
‘One hundred per cent,’ he said.
In an unexpected twist, Brienna knew Scott before he found fame on the Channel Nine dating experiment, having previously treated him at her aesthetics clinic.
‘She did my Botox,’ Scott revealed.
However, their relationship did not turn romantic until after filming had wrapped and his marriage to Gia had ended.
Scott said he made his move at the start of the year by messaging Brienna with a cheeky excuse to visit her clinic.

‘I messaged her and said, ‘Have you got some face cream at the clinic?’ he recalled with a laugh.
‘That was more my subtle way in. But she knew I was full of it.’
The exchange led to a wholesome first date, which included stand-up paddleboarding at Tallebudgera Creek and dinner on the Gold Coast.
‘We hit it off from there,’ Scott said.
Brienna said she was immediately attracted to his ‘loud, bubbly personality’, while Scott described their relationship as markedly different from his experience on MAFS.
‘Trust, respect, gratefulness – the politeness I get, and just the understanding of Brie,’ he said.
‘She’s in a similar space in terms of social media and business and has the same sort of goals.
‘She understands me. We’re so aligned, it works well.’

Scott added that their lifestyles complemented each other, explaining they shared a strong work ethic and regularly trained together.
‘Bree gets up at 5am, we go to the gym together, we’re both on our laptops, we’re both working hard,’ he said.
‘She’s got high energy like me.’
Scott’s new romance followed his highly publicised split from mother-of-one Gia, which unfolded in dramatic scenes both on and off screen.
Following the MAFS reunion, he accused his former television bride of belittling him during their relationship.
‘She made me feel like s**t,’ he previously told Daily Mail.
‘I’ll never let someone walk over me again.’
Gia has also moved on and is now dating boyfriend Alan Wallace, whom Daily Mail previously revealed she first connected with while MAFS was still being filmed.
