It may be two years since he graced our screens on Married At First Sight, but former groom Ivan Sarakula looks completely unrecognisable in new photos.

The real estate agent, who appeared on season 7 of the controversial reality show and ‘married’ Aleks Markovic, has ditched his former clean-cut style for a more boho wardrobe.

Wearing a white turtleneck top and matching trousers, Ivan can be seen with long blonde hair as he posed alongside his former co-stars to launch Sheep Dog, a peanut butter whiskey.

Sheep Dog also announced that they are hosting a special competition next month which will see the public’s chosen MAFS star raise $5000 for Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs by being ‘slimed’ with runny peanut butter on Instagram Live.

Ivan appeared on MAFS in 2019, looking for love with someone who would “stick around long enough to get to know who he really is”.

Unfortunately, things didn’t work out for him and Aleks but the pair have remained friendly since the show came to an end.

Ivan isn’t the only former MAFS star to undergo a transformation after leaving the show.

Sam Ball shared his transformation on social media, revealing he has lost 11kg and "started being myself again".

And Booka Nile from this year's season underwent her own dramatic makeover.

Jets scream overhead and soldiers drop down into gun turrets - outside Russia's military base in Syria
The Russians have been permanently based here since 2017, propping up the Assad regime and overseeing the war against their many opponents. For now, though, what we do know, is that Russian convoys are withdrawing from bases across Syria and are heading for the Mediterranean Coast. On a dusty road near the main Russian entrance to Hmeimim air base near Latakia, I could see a convoy of Russian military vehicles trundling their way past the Russian-named shops.

The senator was faced with his past remarks on Sunday’s Meet the Press when moderator Kristen Welker played back his 2017 comments (conveniently, also on Meet the Press) while discussing Patel, a Trump pick that has made his name out of promises to weaponize the government to prosecute anti-Trump
