Johnny Balbuziente and Kerry Knight, who were matched up on season 8 of MAFS, have announced that they are engaged.

Johny and Kerry joined the other Married At First Sight couples half way through the season, but quickly became fan favourites, fell in love and decided to stay together at the show’s final vows.

The happy couple moved in together in 2021, and have been together for almost two years.

Johny and Kerry both posted the same photos on their Instagram to share the news of their engagement.

“FOREVER,” they wrote alongside a ring emoji and a photo of the pair smiling on a boat with Kerry wearing an engagement ring.

The couple’s former co-stars and other MAFS alum were quick to jump in the comments section and send their well wishes.

“So awesome. Congratulations to two of my fav [sic] people ever!” Jules wrote. Her husband, Cam, added “This is so phenomenal! Congratulations team! So much love.”

“Congratulations you two!!!” Ella wrote.

Relationship expert Mel Schilling said: “Oh I’m so delighted for you guys. Such a genuine, upbeat, positive couple and you both deserve all the happiness in the world.”

Before appearing on MAFS and dating Kerry, Johnny dated Sasksi who stars in the Netflix show Byron Baes.
Gossip podcast So Dramatic! undercovered the bombshell, reporting that the reality stars from Byron Baes dated “around five years ago”.

“I went to school with Saskia from Byron Baes,” they said. “She used to date Johnny from season eight of MAFS, five or so years ago,” a source revealed to the podcast.

The publication also shared five photos of the couple, which you can check out here.
