Married At First Sight’s Bec Zacharia and Danny Hewitt are maintaining their bond despite ups and downs in their relationship.

The television bride and groom, who on a recent episode agreed to become boyfriend and girlfriend, looked more loved up than ever as they stepped out in Sydney recently.

The pair held hands as they headed out for Danny’s birthday, with Bec treating him for the occasion.

Cuddling and kissing during the outing, the couple appeared smitten despite their frequent bickering on screen.

Bec stunned in a fitted white halter dress worn with pastel pink designer Valentino high heels.

She completed the look with retro sunglasses and pearl earrings, adding a pop of colour with a brick-red lipstick.

Danny was chic in an olive green ensemble consisting of a matching shirt and slacks, as well as white sneakers.

It comes after Bec revealed how a weekend escape with Danny saved their relationship after the infamous retreat scandal that rocked the experiment.

Speaking to Daily Mail, Bec, 35, admitted the fallout from her controversial ‘finger***’ comment pushed her to breaking point – and she was ready to quit the show entirely.

‘I wanted to leave. I didn’t want to be there anymore,’ she said.

But in a surprising twist, Danny, 34, stepped in and pulled the couple away from the chaos.

‘Danny came in and said, “We’re not staying here. We’re going to a hotel”,’ Bec revealed.

‘At that point I was so low. I went back to the room and just got straight into bed. I didn’t even take my clothes off.’

As revealed by the Daily Mail, the couple secretly checked into a hotel in Sydney’s CBD and removed themselves from the experiment for several days.

According to Bec, the break from filming completely changed their relationship.

‘Danny and I removed ourselves from the experiment for a couple of days and we had some really intense conversations about leaving,’ she said.

Instead of ending their marriage, the time away brought them closer together than ever before.

‘It really was a moment that connected us better than we’d ever connected before,’ she admitted.

‘That was the moment I really fell in love with him.’

Away from the cameras and the pressure of the show, Bec said they finally got a taste of what their relationship could look like in the real world.

‘There were no cameras, no curfews, nothing,’ she said.

‘It was just Danny and I spending all day exploring Kiama together.’

She said the couple spent their time walking, having dinner and discussing whether they wanted to continue in the experiment.

‘We were really troubleshooting whether or not we wanted to stay,’ Bec explained.

Ultimately, the experience strengthened their bond.

‘Getting away from the stress of the experiment was the best thing for us,’ she said.
