After a turbulent time on Married At First Sight (MAFS), Season 9 contestant Olivia Frazer has finally found her happily ever after. The reality TV star just shared news of her engagement to Greg Rutherford on social media, and she tells Chattr their “spark was instantaneous”.
The couple initially met on Hinge when Olivia changed her location to Scotland in preparation for her trip there. Greg lives in Newcastle, which was outside her radius, so it sounds like fate intervened. “We later figured out Hinge had glitched because we shouldn’t have been within each other’s radius — Greg being in Newcastle and mine being set to Edinburgh,” she recalls.
“The spark was instantaneous. Within a week, I’d changed my flights so I could spend some time with him before my trip with my mum. When it’s so easy, you know it’s right.”
Fast forward three months, and the pair got engaged at a private garden in Newton Hall in England. “We’re both just so in love and so happy about our engagement,” Olivia gushes. “He took me to a private garden in Newton Hall here in the North East of England. Wrapped it up with a lovely pub dinner. Very us coded.”
The couple shared a snap on Instagram, with Olivia showing off her new bling. “You could say we are excited,” the caption read.
Olivia’s comment section was flooded by well-wishes from ex-MAFS contestants, including close friend Alyssa Barmonde, who wrote: “I AM CRYING!!!!! I love you both so much.”
“Congrats girl this is amazing, I’m happy for you,” added Hayley Vernon.
“Congratulations my girl that’s amazing,” said Cyrell Paule.
“So happy for you both!!” wrote Tahnee Cook.
Other MAFS stars that liked the post included Carolina Santos, Sierah Swepstone, Jacqui Burfoot, Dave Hand and Sandy Jawanda.
Olivia Frazer and Greg Rutherford’s relationship timeline
In a sweet video shared on TikTok, MAFS star Olivia Frazer took fans through every step of her relationship with Greg Rutherford, right from when they first matched on Hinge.
“I’ve met someone… it’s only been two days but I thought I’d better document it in case it goes well,” she said, before it cut to a video taken after their first FaceTime date. “We were on FaceTime for like six and a bit hours just… it sounds like the bar is in hell, but he didn’t try and make it a sexy call or anything, he’s such a gentleman,” she said.

Olivia then explained she moved her flight forward so she could meet Greg in person sooner, before cutting to a video revealing that the pair had made their relationship official. “We are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend, and I know that sounds nuts,” she said.
After a clip of Olivia on the train saying she was about to meet Greg in 20 minutes, the final clip included her fiancé. “Update, it’s been three months, and tonight we got engaged! Yay!” she said excitedly.
After all the lemons this MAFS star has had to deal with (we’re looking at you, Jackson Lonie), this story is almost enough to make us believe in love again.
MAFS 2026 premieres on Monday, February 2 at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
