He's finally found Mrs Right! Married At First Sight's Dean Wells confirms romance with model Kirby Delaney - and reveals they met a year ago but were kept apart due to the pandemic

He shot to fame on Married At First Sight's fifth season after cheating on his 'wife' Tracey Jewel with Davina Rankin.

But Dean Wells confirmed he's finally found Mrs Right on Tuesday, as he shared a touching tribute to his model girlfriend Kirby Delaney on her birthday.

The Sydney-based reality star, 43, revealed the duo had actually met prior to the first Covid outbreak in 2020 but had been 'kept apart' due to the lockdowns.

Alongside a photo of the pair cuddling, he wrote: 'We started hanging out pre the first Covid outbreak in 2020 but were kept apart due to lockdowns and restrictions.

'We stayed in contact through all the madness, reconnected, and despite all the strange disruptions in 2021, have managed to keep it going.

'Happy birthday to my girlfriend and lockdown drinking buddy @kirbydollface. Hopefully things get back to normal soon so I can take you on a proper date again!'

Kirby is a fashion model and freelance makeup artist.

The pair had been pictured together in June this year, outside the Archie Brothers cocktail bar in Alexandria.

Meanwhile, despite Dean's cheating scandal on MAFS, Tracey Jewel confirmed in February the pair were good friends after appearing on the reunion show together.

'Look, cheating isn't black and white. I'm glad that Dean and I are still good friends after three years,' she explained during an Instagram Q&A.

'I'm super happy in my life, and I don't hold grudges. I don't forget and I'm certainly still anti-cheating, but I like to consider myself a forgiving person. Sometimes you make mistakes. We're all human,' she added.

Tracey, who shares a ten-year-old daughter, Grace, with her ex-husband, welcomed a son named Frankie with her partner Nate Constable in March.
