They have had their ups and downs and struggled with intimacy at the start of Married At First Sight.
But Rachel Gilmore and Steven Danyluk confirmed their relationship was still going strong towards the end of filming when they went for a romantic stroll in Sydney.
The pair walked hand-in-hand through the city streets, keeping close and laughing with each other.
Steven cut a laid-back figure in a blue-and-white tropical print shirt, black slim-fit trousers, and crisp white sneakers, while his dark hair and sunglasses completed a casual, stylish look.
Meanwhile, Rachel looked effortlessly chic in an oversized denim jacket over a bold red top, paired with cream wide-leg linen trousers and animal print sandals.
Her long brunette were coiffed in waves and her makeup gave her a fresh, sun-kissed glow.

From every angle, the couple seemed comfortable and happy, walking in step, sharing warm smiles, and enjoying each other’s company.
At one point, Rachel was seen adjusting her sunglasses with a bright grin.
It comes after after one of the most uncomfortable moments of the season played out on national television.
During Intimacy Week, Rachel’s ‘ultimate fantasy’ was simple – she just wanted her husband Steven to kiss her.
Instead, she was left humiliated when he pulled back.
Speaking to Daily Mail, Rachel, 35, admitted reliving the moment was almost harder than experiencing it the first time.
‘It’s definitely been a rollercoaster,’ she said.
‘Seeing a moment that was hard to go through, and then to relive it was very hard to watch.’

When asked what was going through her head in that split second Steven rejected her, Rachel did not hold back.
‘My heart just dropped to the bottom of my stomach,’ she revealed.
‘My ultimate fantasy was just ripped away from me, which was a simple kiss. That feeling of something more, just a bit of intimacy. So a kiss, essentially.’
‘I just remember thinking, this is just not how I saw this going.’
Rachel said viewers may not have realised she and Steven had already discussed boundaries ahead of Intimacy Week.
‘We knew Intimacy Week was coming. Steven has watched the show before and very much knew what it came with,’ she explained.
‘He’s a little bit awkward, bless him, so we had a conversation about keeping it respectful. No lingerie, no big gestures.’
‘I thought what I did was really respectful and tame, as per his requests. I just wanted a kiss.’
Despite the rejection, the couple later completed one of the intimacy tasks, which required them to kiss for three minutes – and Rachel says that moment changed everything.
‘The kiss was good,’ she said with a smile.
‘It gave me all the feels instantly. I was very flushed afterwards and I personally instantly felt that connection with Steven. I was absolutely chuffed.’
‘It brought our first kiss and brought Steven and me closer. Ending on a high is how we like to finish.’
