MAFS Star Belinda Vickers Shows Off Engagement Ring with Fiancé

Belinda Vickers is gearing up for her happily-ever-after after rising to fame on Married At First Sight in 2021.

The bubbly TV bride was spotted out and about in Melbourne on Monday looking loved-up as she held hands with her millionaire fiancé Hayden Burbank during a casual grocery run.

Belinda, 31, kept things laid-back in a white oversized sweatshirt emblazoned with colourful lettering, which she paired with navy leggings and white trainers.

She accessorised with a brown leather crossbody bag and let her signature long curly red locks fall freely around her shoulders. 

But all eyes were on the dazzling diamond ring on her left hand.

Elsewhere, her fiancé opted for a preppy off-duty look in a Ralph Lauren knit sweater which he teamed up with a pair of black tracksuit pants and white sneakers.

The loved-up duo appeared relaxed and smitten, with Belinda smiling shyly as they crossed the road hand-in-hand.

Belinda tells Daily Mail Australia that the couple haven’t yet locked in a date for their upcoming nuptials but are planning to walk down the aisle sometime next year.

The couple celebrated their engagement at a lavish party in Melbourne back in April.

The couple shared a series of photos to social media as they danced and posed with friends and family at the private party.

Guests were treated to an array of cocktails while violinists played music at the lavish home.

The couple announced their engagement back in February last year, telling Daily Mail Australia that Hayden’s unique Valentine’s Day proposal included a treasure hunt at the Botanical Gardens. 

Hayden, who is the former owner of swanky Melbourne hotspot Morris Jones, added his proposal caught the attention of the public, who burst into applause after Belinda said yes and accepted his dazzling engagement ring.

‘It was always yes. It was 12 months after MAFS that we met and it really led me to him and opened up new people for me meet,’ Belinda said.

The pair met in Melbourne through mutual friends in 2022.

In 2021, Hayden was jailed for three months after breaking Covid rules during the height of the pandemic.

He hopped the border into the Northern Territory before travelling to Western Australia to watch Melbourne Demons win at Perth Stadium.

To dodge WA’s strict border rules at the time, he falsified a rental agreement at a Darwin address while also fraudulently obtaining NT drivers’ licences.

Their relationship blossomed after the bar owner spent 90 days behind bars at WA’s maximum security Hakea prison, which earned him the jailhouse nickname of ‘border breacher’.

Hayden described his experience at one of Australia’s toughest jails as ‘the ultimate game of Survivor’.

‘You have to form alliances and not do anything stupid and get through each day by day,’ he told the Saturday Herald Sun in March 2022.

‘They are the longest days of your life. I’m not built for jail. Nobody is built for jail.’

Hayden added he shared a cell with one of the prison’s top dogs, a bikie, who would wake him up each morning and taunt: ‘Border breacher, border breacher’.

Belinda found fame on season eight of Married At First Sight, which aired in 2021.

She and her on-screen husband Patrick Dwyer were deemed the ‘golden couple’ of the series but split up after nine months.
