We've got some wonderful news that's sure warming our hearts! Liam Cooper, who made history as "Married at First Sight Australia's" first openly bisexual participant, just shared that he's engaged! His lucky partner? None other than fellow reality TV star Samuel Levi. Their love story started under some pretty unique circumstances, but it's blossomed beautifully beyond their initial on-screen pairings.
Remember back in 2021 when Liam Cooper graced our screens during season eight? He bravely shared his bisexuality on national TV and instantly won us over. Being open about his identity as MAFS Australia's first bisexual groom was revolutionary. Initially, he was paired with Georgia Fairweather. Her response? Pure class—she assured him it didn't matter as long as he was her right person.
Like many TV love stories, Liam and Georgia eventually split after that memorable final dinner party. But don't worry, love had a plan. Liam found his match in Samuel Levi, who was on "Married at First Sight New Zealand" in 2019. Samuel's first match, Tayler Morgan, didn't work out, but turns out, fate was just setting him up perfectly with Liam.
August 23 was their big day. Liam popped THE question surrounded by breathtaking views at Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa in Daylesford, Victoria. Liam took it online, sharing his joy, saying, "A day I'll never forget. I asked my best friend, my soulmate, my forever, if they'd marry me." Samuel felt just as blessed, posting, "Still pinching myself. On 20.08.25, my best friend asked me if I'd be his forever. We've loved keeping our love offline, but this moment's too precious not too share.”
What made this day even more magical? Their family and closest friends planned a surprise celebration. It was a thoughtful touch that really added extra joy and turned their announcement unforgettable.
Looking back, both credit reality TV with sparking their beautiful love story. Samuel mused, "Our story continues… but here's where it began, 4 years ago. Who'd have thought a show like 'Married At First Sight' would lead us here?"
Their reality TV peers are showing lots love, too. Lizzie Sobinoff called it "absolutely gorgeous," and Duncan James sent a simple but excited "Congrats!" Their happiness they're sharing with us clearly rubs off on others.
