Married at First Sight Australia star Ollie Skelton announces engagement after one year with girlfriend

The 29-year-old voice-over artist is preparing to walk down the aisle for a second time, two years after he appeared on the hit Channel Nine reality show which sees singles marry within moments of meeting.

Ollie took to his Instagram to share a video of the moment he popped the question to his girlfriend Nadia, shortly after they celebrated their one year anniversary. The proposal took place on a dock at sunset.

The video, which was filmed from a long-range distance, had the caption: “Yesterday afternoon I proposed to Nadia, if you squint your eyes a little bit you’ll see she said YES!”. There was also a love heart emoji.

On his Instagram Stories, Ollie shared he same video and also a photo, taken from over his new fiancée’s shoulder, showing her outstretching her hand and looking at her new engagement ring.

Ollie and Nadia started dating in March 2024, four months after he announced his split from his MAFS wife Tahnee Cook. The pair made their relationship Instagram official last April.

On March 15, Ollie commemorated their year together by sharing photos of them 12 months apart and writing: “A year with you in my life, lover girl. (We tried to recreate this photo but it was too bright and too hot)”.

Many people posted congratulatory messages on the post, including many fellow MAFS stars. The show’s relationship expert Alessandra Rampolla commented with three red hearts.

“OMGOSHHHH congrats,” Evelyn Ellis wrote, followed by her boyfriend, who she met on MAFS, Duncan James, who said, “Yessss my man. Stoked for you”. The couple both appeared on MAFS the same year as Ollie.

“Omg big congrats guys! Woo hoo. Ollie so happy for you,” fellow season 10 co-star Melinda Willis shared, with her on-screen husband and now ex Layton Mills adding: “Big time! It’s a lovely day’.”

“So happy for you both,” Evelyn’s on-screen husband and ex Rupert Bugden said, while another season 10 alumni Cam Woods replied, “Ahhh mate congratulations to you both. Exciting times ahead”. Lauren Dunn, who appeared on the show last year, commented: “Eeeeek congrats!!!!”

Ollie and Tahnee had been the sweetheart couple of MAFS Australia season 10, and they remained together after the experiment ended, but they confirmed their split at the end of 2023 after 16 months together.
