If you’re currently watching Married At First Sight Australia, you will have probably already fallen in love with Cameron Merchant and Jules Robinson.
The pair hit it off as soon as they met during the sixth series of the social experiment and are STILL together more than one year on.

Jules previously told Daily Mail Australia she had declined Channel Nine's invitation to appear, saying ‘filming is very long’ and she wanted to be with her newborn son.
Meanwhile, Jules and Cam have gone from strength to strength since meeting on MAFS almost two years ago.
The pair got married for real in November 2019, with the wedding airing in an episode of A Current Affair.
The pair announced they were expecting back in April 2020 and welcomed little Oliver Chase Merchant on October 3rd, 2020.
37-year-old Jules said at the time: “Once it was all confirmed, I bawled out of pure joy and happiness.
“To create a baby with the man you love, there is no greater gift, and Cam will be one incredible father.”
