Married At First Sight groom Dave Hand has sparked romance rumours with a very glamorous American reality TV star, after being spotted with her at a restaurant in Los Angeles.
The 37-year-old MAFS star was recently seen dining out with Vanderpump Rules’ Ally Lewber, 29, at the swanky SUR restaurant in West Hollywood.
The pair were all smiles as they posed for a photo at the venue, with Dave beaming from ear-to-ear as he enjoyed a night out with the stunning Ohio-born model.
Fans quickly took to social media to speculate on the nature of their relationship.
‘WTF is Dave from MAFS doing at SUR with Ally? Am I in the Twilight Zone?’ one stunned fan wrote.
‘OMG, how random,’ another person added.Â

Lewber is a LA-based model who featured on the US reality series for several years, as the girlfriend of fellow cast member James Kennedy, a former bus boy at SUR.
She is currently single as the pair called time on their relationship in January.Â
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Dave is taking another shot at love – this time on Netflix.
The tattooed Melbourne caulker joined the cast of Perfect Match season four, the streaming giant’s hit crossover dating experiment that brings together reality stars from around the world.
According to production insiders, Dave will appear alongside a lineup of familiar faces including Ally Lewber and Too Hot To Handle stars Brianna Balram, Kayla Richart and Katherine LaPrell.
Love Is Blind personalities Marissa Rodriguez, Sophie Willett and Jimmy Presnell, and Love Island USAÂ favourite Kassy Castillo are also tipped to appear, according to an insider.
A production insider told Daily Mail that Dave was a high-priority recruit for the series after his breakout season on MAFS earlier this year.Â
‘Producers were thrilled when Dave said yes – they’d been watching his season closely and knew he’d bring great television,’ the insider said.

Dave was paired with Jamie Marinos (right) on this year’s series of MAFS but their heated relationship ended in MarchÂ
‘They actually wanted both Dave and his MAFS bride Jamie on the show together.Â
‘The chemistry between them was undeniable… they thought it would make for explosive viewing.’
However, plans to reunite the former couple fell through at the last minute.
‘Jamie was seriously considering it but pulled out just before contracts were finalised,’ the source revealed.
‘Producers were disappointed, but they’re still very excited to see what Dave does on his own.Â
‘He’s outspoken, quick-witted and isn’t afraid to call people out – exactly the type of personality that makes Perfect Match tick.’
Netflix has yet to officially confirm the line-up, but filming is understood to be underway, with the series expected to premiere globally in 2026.
Dave’s appearance marks a major milestone for Australian reality TV, making him the first MAFS Australia groom to join the Perfect Match universe.
‘It’s a big deal,’ the insider added.Â
‘Netflix has been looking to diversify the cast with more international personalities, and Dave was the perfect choice. He’s already proven he can handle the pressure – now it’s about whether he can find love in a completely new arena.’
Perfect Match season four will premiere on Netflix next year.
