Fans of Married At First Sight Australia were delighted to see that groom Scott McCristal has moved on from his ex-wife Gia Fleur following their dramatic breakup. The 33-year-old businessman hard-launched his new girlfriend, fitness model Brienna, on social media.
Scott's New Romance
Scott shared an album of loved-up photos with Brienna on Instagram, captioning the post: "Found you ❤️ @briennastockdale." The couple had been friends before their relationship turned romantic. Scott's followers flooded the post with supportive comments, praising his happiness.
One fan wrote: "I have never seen you so happy… i am so so happy for you both ❤️." Another added: "This is so well deserved for such a kind, genuine heart. Wishing you happiness and blessings."
Several MAFS co-stars also shared positive reactions. Bride Stella Mickunaite commented: "Hard launch !!!! Here for it ! ❤️." David Momoh joked: "My two favourites ❤️ Guess I gotta hide in the toilet alone now." Sam Stanton and Eliot Donovan also expressed support.
Comparing to Gia
Some fans noted similarities between Brienna and Scott's ex-wife Gia, with one saying: "Sorry but he definitely has a type." Another agreed: "She looks like Gia just with dark hair." However, Scott appears unfazed, having pinned the Instagram post to the top of his profile.
Scott first hinted at a new relationship in a radio interview in April, revealing he was seeing someone he already knew. Gia has also moved on, dating reality star Alan Wallace and sharing her "love story of dreams" on social media.
Background on the Split
Scott and Gia's marriage ended dramatically during the final dinner party, where Scott broke down, threw his wedding ring, and stormed out after Gia flirted with her alternative match James. The scenes aired months after filming wrapped.
