MAFS' Ella Ding goes public with new boyfriend: 'So happy'

Just over a year after her TV marriage came to an end, Married At First Sight’s Ella Ding has officially ‘hard launched’ her new relationship.

The season nine bride, who also appeared on the UK structured-reality series Made In Chelsea late last year, went public with her new boyfriend in a sweet Instagram post on Monday evening.

Ella shared a gallery of snaps taken on a dinner date in Melbourne, with the last photo showing herself standing next to a tall, tattooed man dressed in all black.

“Beautiful dinner… You’ll want to see the last photo,” she wrote.

The 29-year-old later shared the post to her Instagram Story alongside the caption: “I guess this is a hard launch.”

Ella’s followers quickly took to the comments to congratulate her on her new romance, with her former co-star Kate Laidlaw writing, “Cute, happy for you”.

“WOOOOOOOOO,” Jack Millar wrote, followed by fellow MAFS star Kerry Balbuziente who replied with a series of heart emojis.

“Congrats to both of you!! You look gorgeous together,” one fan shared, while another added, “So glad you've found happiness”.

“Yayyy I’m so happy for you Ella you deserve so much happiness and to have a guy who treats you like the queen you are,” someone else remarked.

Who is Ella's new boyfriend?

While it’s unknown how long Ella and her new boyfriend have been seeing each other, she had been leaving a string of hints on her social media over the past few weeks teasing a new relationship.

She shared a gallery of photos on Instagram from her birthday party earlier this month, including a photo of herself and her beau but didn’t specify they were dating.

So Dramatic has since revealed the mystery man to be Guy Palermo, and while no further details are known about him, a source has told Daily Mail they've known each other for a while.

“Her boyfriend is very low key, no one knows who he is,” they told the publication. “They've known each other for six years and he's been pursuing her in that time. Love was right in front of them the whole time.”
