MAFS’ Bryce Ruthven and Melissa Rawson step out in Melbourne

They’re arguably the most controversial couple to come out of Married At First Sight.

But despite the drama and naysayers, Bryce Ruthven and Melissa Rawson looked closer than ever as they stepped out for a Chriddy Black concert in Melbourne.

The twosome couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they canoodled in front of the flashing cameras.

Melissa looked sensational in a slinky black cut-out cocktail dress with a thigh high split, while Bryce kept things cool and casual in ripped jeans and a matching denim jacket.  

Clearly relishing in her newfound fame, the embattled blonde was more than happy to pose for pictures.

However, she came close to being outshone by Married At First Sight icon Jessika Power.

The cheating bride wasn’t afraid to steal the spotlight from Melissa by twerking and sticking her tongue out.

Fellow MAFS villain Sam Carraro also showed up wearing a T-shirt from his clothing company, Grouse Mouse.

Patrick Dwyer and Belinda Vickers proved that they were still going strong since season seven wrapped up by showing up hand in hand. 

Bryce recently pleaded with fans to remember the controversial series is a ‘heavily produced TV show’.

Speaking on FOX FM’s Fifi, Fev and Nick earlier this week, Bryce and his ‘bride’ Melissa discussed their appearance on the Nine juggernaut.

‘I guess all I can say is that people have to remember that it is a heavily produced TV show. They have shown ten to fifteen percent of our relationship,’ he said.

The former radio announcer said he was ‘hurt’ from negative reactions from the reality TV show.

‘It’s taken a big toll on me mental health wise, both of us. We’re both getting help outside of the show. Outside of Channel Nine and Endemol for it.’

Bryce said it was important to people to remember the pair are ‘two human beings’ who are in a relationship.

‘They have seen what a producer decides to put on a TV show,’ Bryce said. ‘So I suppose I owe a big thank you to the producers.’
