They're the breakout success story of this year's Married At First Sight – and now Stella Mickunaite and Filip Gregov are giving fans a rare glimpse into their future.

Speaking to Daily Mail, the loved-up couple have revealed plans for an intimate overseas wedding – and exactly which of their co-stars will be scoring an invite.

'All the guys are welcome – honestly, pretty much all the men can come down,' Filip said.

But when it comes to the brides, Stella admitted the guest list is far more selective.

'I think the girls would be Rachel [Gilmore], Alissa [Fay] and Bec [Zacharia]… that's who I kept closest to post the experiment,' she said.

'I don't think there'll be many more on the women's side.'

They're the breakout success story of this year's Married At First Sight – and now Stella Mickunaite and Filip Gregov are giving fans a rare glimpse into their future

Speaking to Daily Mail, the loved-up couple have revealed plans for an intimate overseas wedding – and exactly which of their co–stars will be scoring an invite

The couple confirmed they are planning to tie the knot in Europe, with both their families based overseas.

'We always spoke about doing a European wedding,' Filip explained.

'Now that we've done an Australian one, it just makes sense – all of our family is either in Croatia or Lithuania.'

'It'll be something low-key… definitely not on national TV, but who knows.'

The candid interview comes as the pair finally opened up about their shock engagement, which stunned viewers at Final Vows.

Filip revealed the proposal was something he had been planning quietly behind the scenes – telling only a handful of people before dropping to one knee.

'Coming into this experiment, I was here to find my person,' he said.

'I've had this drought of being professionally single… and as soon as I found it, I just got out of my own way and went all in.'

'I think the girls would be Rachel [Gilmore], Alissa [Fay] and Bec [Zacharia]… that's who I kept closest to post the experiment,' Stella said

'All the guys are welcome – honestly, pretty much all the men can come down,' Filip said of the grooms. Pictured: Joel Moses, Danny Hewitt and Scott McCristal

'I could see myself being with her forever – so I didn't overthink it.'

He admitted he only told his parents and best mate before looping in production.

'I told production, "This is what's going to happen, this is the ring I want"… and it all happened very quickly.'

For Stella, the moment came as a complete shock.

'I thought he was joking. I thought he was pulling my leg,' she said.

'But I didn't have any doubt. I knew we were walking out of here together.'

'I always saw us growing together… that's what I envisioned in my heart.'

The bride also revealed the engagement ring held a subtle, unexpected connection to her own vision for the future.

The couple confirmed they are planning to tie the knot in Europe, with both their families based overseas. 'We always spoke about doing a European wedding,' Filip explained

'I have a vision board in my bedroom with a classic engagement ring on it,' she said.

'I don't think he even realised, but he picked something almost exactly the same.'

'I couldn't have chosen better myself.'

Despite being labelled the 'only real success story' of the season, the couple insist they feel no pressure to prove their relationship is genuine.

'We're just doing our thing,' Filip said.

'Everyone's going to have an opinion, but we can't control that.'

'We just keep doing us.'

Their strong bond was forged both on and off camera – with Filip revealing many of their most important moments never made it to air.

'There's huge interest in Stella and Filip right now,' an insider tells Daily Mail. 'They're being positioned as this season's success story – the couple that actually made it. And Nine knows viewers are emotionally invested'

'We had such a full journey – the bad, the ugly… we worked for this relationship,' he said.

'A lot of it never saw the light of day because the drama took priority.'

Stella agreed, adding that staying out of the show's chaos played a key role in their success.

'We knew what kind of relationship we wanted,' she said.

'Anyone who involved other people in their relationship… they crashed and burned. It's that simple.'

Filip admitted there were moments he held back emotionally during filming, fearing he might 'self-sabotage' something real.

'I was all in through my actions,' he said.

'But yeah… I kept a few things close to my chest because I didn't want to mess it up.'

Daily Mail understands that if a deal is locked in, Stella and Filip could conservatively earn between $100,000 and $200,000 from a televised wedding and associated opportunities

The couple also revealed they nearly walked away from the experiment altogether – but credit the show with ultimately keeping them together.

'If it wasn't for the experiment, we probably would have called it quits at some point,' Stella admitted.

'It forced us to stay and face things… and I'll always be thankful for that.'

Now living together and raising their rescue dog Bobby, the pair say they are focused on enjoying the moment – with plans for a family firmly on the horizon.

'We'd definitely love to have a family one day,' Filip said.

'But right now we're just riding this wave.'

Their fairytale romance has not gone unnoticed by Channel Nine, with insiders revealing the network is keen to lock the couple in for a potential televised wedding special.

'There's huge interest in Stella and Filip right now,' a source tells Daily Mail.

'They're being positioned as this season's success story – the couple that actually made it.'

And if a deal is struck, the payday could be enormous.

Back in 2019, Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant's televised wedding reportedly earned them between $50,000 and $75,000 tied to the broadcast and related deals
