Will Martha and Michael get married… again?
Yes! The couple announced their engagement in December 2021, taking to Instagram to share the happy news and snaps of the sparkling ring.
Michael had Martha’s friends plan a Met Gala-themed party as a ruse to trick her into dressing up for the event, only for him to surprise her by getting down on one knee.
She realised what was happening and actually asked him not to pop the question because she didn’t think her outfit was chic enough, but he asked anyway and Martha (of course) said yes.

The reality star later revealed the hefty price tag of her unique emerald cut ring, which Michael designed with Armans Fine Jewellery.
Speaking on KIIS FM’s Will & Woody, Martha admitted the ring, featuring a stunning yellow gold band, was “close, but just a bit under” $110,000.
As for wedding plans, the pair previously admitted it will be very different to their TV wedding on 2019’s season of Married at First Sight.

“I’m so grateful for our MAFS wedding, but it wasn’t my fairy tale,” Martha told Woman’s Day in 2018, adding that she’d rather have a smaller, more intimate event.
Meanwhile Michael told Who Magazine that he understood why fans were so invested in their romance.
“They’ve seen the moment we first laid eyes one one another and they’ve followed our relationship, for everyone, a real marriage is naturally the next step,” he said.

They may also be planning an international wedding, the pair revealing in early 2022 that they had big plans to move overseas.
Do Michael and Martha have kids?
Yes! Martha and Michael welcomed their adorable son, Lucius Brunelli in February 2023.
Martha and Michael first announced their pregnancy in September 2022, after fans were concerned about Martha’s lack of posting on her Instagram page at the time. The couple explained her absence from social media was due to Martha’s pregnancy, and her severe sickness caused by a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum.

Martha and Michael shared some adorable photos together while they were pregnant, showing off Martha’s growing bump.
They welcomed their son, Lucius, on 27 February 2023 and ever since have provided fans with countless photos of the little cutie, and of their sweet family of three.
Loved-up on Instagram
Much like loved-up MAFS duo Cam Merchant and Jules Robinson, Martha and Michael have been posting happy couple snaps for years – at least, if you call their various pranks and thirsty pics “happy.”
