Mafs UK star celebrates milestone birthday with show girlfriend as fans say they’re ‘made for each other’
A MARRIED At First Sight star has celebrated a milestone birthday with his “gorgeous” show girlfriend – and fans have branded them a “great match.”
The duo left fans swooning with their “cute” scenes posted to Instagram.
The Sun was first to reveal how Matt Pilmoor and Shona Manderson were secretly dating, after the pair were spotted together in a Starbucks.
Shona, 31, left the show because of her unhealthy relationship with Brad Skelly, while Matt married Adrienne Naylor as the pair entered Married At First Sight as late entries.
Their “secret relationship” could finally be made public in November, when the show wrapped, and now the pair have been flooding social media with their loved-up displays.
There was no stopping drama teacher Shona as she marked Matt’s 30th birthday with a sweet video, showing the pair at a festive market.
Matt was then captured cuddling Shona’s dog as he snuggled on the sofa and serenaded the pooch before he was seen topless in the bed saying goodnight.
In her emotional caption, Shona wrote: “Happy 30th birthday to my BFG @mattpilmoor. Forever grateful that our journeys led to one another.
“I’ve learnt with you that love isn’t chaos – it’s calm, fun, safe and peaceful. Thanks for adding so much to my life, it all makes sense now.
“Can’t wait to dance with you later. I love you so much Matty & I’ll be beside you every step of the way xxx (& Winnie).”
Matt was quick to reply, writing the touching words: “I love you so much. Thank you gorgeous.”
The comments left fans with a warm glow inside, with one writing: “So glad you 2 found each other.”
Another added: “Awww. This is so lovely to see. Shame you had to go through what you did to get here but take the positives, look where you are now. What a great match you have eventually found and he comes across like a real gentleman xxxx”
A third wrote: “So cute, please could you tell me the song Matt’s singing at the end please?”
A fan was quick to write: “You 3 are so cute! Happy birthday Matt,” while another gushed: “HBD Matt!! You 2 are made for each other! 2 beautiful souls.”
Last month, Shona and Matt spoke exclusively to OK! to reveal their new relationship.
Shona said: “We have a really healthy, happy, safe, fun, relationship – I really appreciate Matt so much, it’s what I deserve, we deserve each other.
“I’m proud to be his girlfriend and it just works.”
Explaining how they managed to keep their relationship a secret, Shona explained: “Matt would be driving and I would be in the back, we would be walking around Nottingham and I’d be all the way over there, we were like secret agents on a mission.”
