Former Married At First Sight Australia star Jessika Power has revealed the one item brides get for free during the show - and it's a big one.

Power, who first appeared on the show in 2019, took to Instagram to answer a few questions about the behind-the-scenes magic of the popular reality TV show.

Fans will know that the wedding is just one element of the show, with dinner parties, fancy occasions, and more all adding to the bill, at least when it comes to the outfits.

After being asked by someone if she or the producers paid for the dinner party outfits on MAFS, Power said: "We had to pay [for dinner party clothes]. I had to buy a whole new wardrobe. The only thing you get for free is the wedding dress."

While Power did not end up meeting the love of her life on the series, she has been in a steady relationship with British partner Connor Thompson since 2021.

When asked if wedding bells were on the horizon for the two of them, she replied: "When you meet someone you don't rush into things like that. We're happy living our lives getting to know each other more, travelling, making memories, and just living life together."

They currently live in Manchester, but a move to Australia could be on the cards. In September, they are headed Down Under so he can meet the family, and as Jessika told her followers, they are hitting Perth, Gold Coast and Sydney on their trip.

"Connor is coming over in September and we're so happy. It's like, 'Who is this girl from MAFS who was stealing husbands and is all domesticated now?'" she told The Herald Sun.
