She’s the reality bride who has made no secret of the fact she has well and truly moved on.
And Married At First Sight star Gia Fleur looked every inch the smitten girlfriend as she stepped out for a steamy date night in Melbourne with Alan Wallace on Friday.
The pair put on an extremely cosy display for waiting photographers outside Squires Loft steakhouse.
The 36-year-old turned heads in a hot pink strapless mini dress that showed off her bronzed, toned legs to full effect, throwing a chic nude blazer over her shoulders and completing the look with Louis Vuitton heeled mules and long blonde waves tumbling past her shoulders.
Alan, also 36, heavily tattooed and keeping things deliberately low-key, cut a casual figure beside her in a navy Ksubi graphic tee, light-wash jeans and white sneakers.
The couple appeared completely at ease in each other’s company, with Gia unable to keep her hands off her new man throughout the evening.

The reality star was seen jumping onto Alan’s back, wrapping her arms around his neck and laughing as he beamed broadly – the pair looking utterly carefree.
Gia gazed adoringly up at Alan as the pair leaned in for what appeared to be a kiss, fingers intertwined, as they made their way out of the upscale Melbourne restaurant.
At one point, she was spotted draping her arm possessively across his shoulders as they walked, barely able to wipe the smile from her face.
There was nothing performative about it. These two are clearly the real deal.
The romance has been the subject of significant scrutiny – not least because Gia recently admitted to Daily Mail that she first made contact with Alan while she was still filming MAFS and technically married to her on-screen husband on the show.
The pair initially connected during a night out with fellow MAFS bride Bec Zacharia – with Gia confessing her original motivation was anything but romantic.
‘I was trying to honestly dig up some dirt on Scott at that point ’cause we were going downhill,’ she told this masthead. ‘But um, yeah, he was in the gym and I was like, wait, he’s kind of hot.’
She subsequently slid into Alan’s DMs – and the rest, as they say, is history.

‘We were just talking – just friendly,’ she said. ‘But then when I came off the show, it progressed to something a bit more.’
Their first in-person meeting, Gia revealed, left absolutely no room for doubt.
‘We were talking for a couple of months and then we met at an event,’ she said. ‘He was with another girl and I was just jealous. I was following him around saying to my friends, “What’s he doing now? Who’s he talking to?”‘
‘It was an immediate thing. As soon as I saw Alan I was like, what the hell? There was just something – undeniable. He felt it as well.’
Gia made her move before the night was out.
‘Later on I finally grabbed him and kissed him – ’cause I was like, no, you need to come with me. And that was it. We’ve been pretty much inseparable since then.’
The relationship has moved at speed. The pair have since confirmed they are now living together, with Alan stepping up in a significant way for Gia’s daughter.
‘While we sit here right now he is taking my daughter to school, so he’s the best guy ever,’ she said.
‘We were just talking – just friendly,’ she said. ‘But then when I came off the show, it progressed to something a bit more,’ she told Daily Mail
For Gia, the relationship represents something she says she has never quite experienced before. (Pictured with TV groom Scott McCristal)
Gia has also been firm in dismissing suggestions the relationship is anything other than genuine – hitting back at those who have labelled it a publicity stunt.
‘We live together and I’m with him every night and he’s amazing for my daughter, my whole family love him. I love his parents and his brother,’ she said.
‘I would do MAFS all over again to have met Alan.’
For Gia, the relationship represents something she says she has never quite experienced before.
‘I feel safe, so I don’t wanna run away,’ she told Daily Mail. ‘He makes me feel reassured and loved and compliments me all the time and tells me he loves me. I’d never got that before.’
‘I think the difference with Alan and I is that we’re just more compatible. There’s a lot of things in common.’
She added: ‘I feel like he’s getting the best version of Gia that maybe all other exes didn’t get – because now I’m being loved, I’m treating him right.’
