MAFS groom Scott McCristal didn’t find love in the experiment, but he looks very smitten after hard-launching his new relationship.
“Found you ❤️🔐” Scott wrote on Instagram, tagging his new partner, Gold Coast cosmetic nurse Brienna Stockdale.
Among the carousel of images, Scott showed the couple living it up during a yacht party, working out together at the gym and posing while on a plane.
Viewers were left rooting for Scott after his on-screen marriage to Gia Fleur imploded in the final weeks of the experiment, so it’s no surprise his followers were delighted by the update which has earned a whopping 59,000 likes.
“Omg @scott_mccristal, I’m so happy for you, she is beautiful and thank goodness you found your person and have a spark back,” one follower commented.
“I knew you would find your right person ❤️,” said another.
Scott’s castmates also came out in support.
“Hard launch!!! Here for it,” celebrated Stella Mickunaite.
“My two favourites ❤️❤️ Guess I gotta hide in the toilet alone now,” David Momoh joked, referencing his and Scott’s quick escape from the experiment’s Final Test task.
“From unappreciated to winner,” wrote season 12 groom Ryan Donnelly.
Brienna is a cosmetic nurse and business owner on the Gold Coast, who has an impressive 148,000-strong following on Instagram.
It turns out, she and Scott have known each other for a while – but things only turned romantic more recently.
Scott had first teased his new relationship during an April radio interview with Star 104.5’s Gina & Matty.
“I’m sort of seeing someone. Someone I already knew before… we were friends and it’s turned into something,” he said at the time.
Scott was paired with Gia in the 2026 experiment, and after immediately hitting it off they boasted about being the show’s “power couple”.
However, the wheels fell off in the final weeks as Scott opened up about his concerns over Gia being involved in drama, disagreements about leaving the experiment early and Gia flirting with her alternative match during the Final Test.
