Married At First Sight Australia’s Melinda and Layton dish on their big plans
But after all the hurdles they’ve faced, the couple are happy to announce that they’re still very much together, in a “really good place”.
“The fact that we got over it when we actually thought we wouldn’t, and survived that pressure cooker and bubble that is MAFS – I feel that we’re a lot stronger,” Melinda adds.
The pair even announced Layton is packing up his belonging and is moving to Brisbane to live with Melinda.
While speaking on Al Perkins and Taku Chimwaza’s podcast Back to Reality, the couple revealed the big move is happening “within a month.”

“He’s currently packing up shop now, like looking at doing all that and then moving so,” she said.
“He’s got a lot of friends and family in Brisbane. So it actually worked out pretty well. We’ve been doing some FaceTime, not a lot. “
And part of their plan to keep their relationship strong is to keep meddler Harrison Boon, 32, out of it!
“Look, we saw him the other night at an event and he ran up to us and gave us a big hug. But you just can’t talk to him for too long – or really trust him,” says Melinda. “So before he can get in our head again, I just said, ‘We’re going!’”

FUTURE PLANS
As the couple recuperate from the show, they reveal they’ve been discussing their living arrangements. As it stands, Melinda still lives in Brisbane and Layton’s in Sydney. They’re talking about moving in together, with Layton thinking of making the big move up to Brisvegas.
“I love the city. I think it’s awesome. So, we’ve just been waiting for the show to finish airing to sort out timings, and what that looks like,” Layton says.
And wherever they may find a home, they’ll be looking for a big backyard for their “next big step” – a dog! “I want an Italian greyhound,” Melinda says excitedly. “It’s just me as a dog.”
