She rose to fame on this year’s Married At First Sight after she was matched with show veteran John Robertson.
And Melissa Walsh seems to be embracing the whirlwind speed of yet another wedding after getting engaged to her boyfriend of seven months, artist Fred Whitson.
The Married At First Sight fan favourite shared her exciting news on Instagram on Thursday night, uploading a close-up shot of her oval-shaped diamond sparkler and a sweet selfie of her and Fred.
“When the man you are in love with proposes, you say “yes” ❤️❤️💍#love #solucky #hellyes,” the journalist penned alongside the announcement.
Fred also took to social media, sharing the same ring pic.
“She said ‘Yes’ ❤💍 #engaged #headoverheels #luckyme #madeforeachother,” Fred gushed.
Earlier in the year, Aussie audiences fell in love with Melissa and John on the Channel Nine reality show and had hoped they would stand the test of time.
But sadly, just like many of their Married At First Sight predecessors, they succumbed to the reality TV curse and soon after the television cameras stopped rolling, the pair went their separate ways in March.
In May, Melissa begun a new romance and told Woman’s Day she’d fallen head-over-heels in love with Fred and he was right under her nose the entire time.

“I interviewed Fred for his work as a local artist and we really hit it off,” the young-at-heart grandma told us at the time.
“I’ve never felt a love like this before. I finally understand why people write poems for people they love. When I hear a romantic line in a film, it finally makes sense… because I’m now one of those gushy people,” she added.
“He added me on Facebook a few weeks after we met and I remember thinking that he might be interested in me, but I didn’t know if he was just being friendly,” she explained.

Their blossoming friendship was fleeting as, soon after, Melissa received a call to say she’d been chosen for Married At First Sight and would be walking down the aisle to “marry” a complete stranger in two weeks!
Melissa was set-up with John, who had returned to the show for a second year in a row after a disastrous pairing with Debbie in 2017.
But in the end, it’s clear Melissa was destined to be with Fred.
Wishing the paid all the happiness in the world. Now bring on that wedding!
