Married At First Sight bride Alissa Fay has moved on with a new man after David Momoh dumped her during Final Vows.

The Adelaide native, 33, debuted her romance with Australian Ninja Warrior star Nathan Ryles on Wednesday after they were spotted packing on the PDA at a beach.

Alissa called Nathan, 32, her ‘soulmate’ and said their ‘connection is something I’ve never experienced before’, reported New Idea.

‘He was unexpected; we didn’t plan for this to happen, you know, it just happened so naturally. I believe that he is my person,’ she told the publication.

‘I thought that I knew what love was, and I thought that I had felt love before, but this is a whole other feeling.’

Nathan said he and Alissa ‘bring out the best in each other’, adding that he was ‘oblivious’ to her MAFS narrative because he didn’t watch the show.

‘She’s treated me better than I’ve ever been treated, and I just love her so much,’ he continued.

Alissa revealed the pair have been hiding their relationship since December so they didn’t spoil the ending to her relationship with David, 31, on the Nine series.

The pair, who have already confessed their love for each other, said they had known of each other for years because they shared the same social circle in Adelaide.

However, things between them began to heat up shortly after Alissa finished filming for MAFS, when they finally met on ‘a wine tour’ for her gym.

The relationship debut will come as a shock to some Daily Mail readers who may remember Alissa vehemently denied being in a relationship with Nathan last week.

‘What is going on, all this speculation, he is engaged! I follow him and his fiancée Tori on social media. We are friends, Adelaide is a small place,’ she told Daily Mail.

‘Adelaide is just like that, everyone knows everyone! It is just noise.’

Daily Mail does not suggest Nathan was engaged at the time he and Alissa began dating, only that Alissa used it as a cover story to hide their relationship.

Is it ever justifiable to hide a new relationship to protect reality TV secrets and reputations?

The Adelaide native debuted her romance with Australian Ninja Warrior star Nathan Ryles, 32, on Wednesday after they were spotted packing on the PDA at a beach

It comes after Alissa was left red-faced on Tuesday night’s episode of MAFS after she was forced to deliver her final vows to an empty room.

After her groom David revealed he didn’t see a future with Alissa outside of the experiment, he brutally left her standing alone at the altar to process the rejection.

It seemed to come as quite a shock to Alissa, who had earlier hinted that she was going to walk away and ‘break his heart’.

Walking into Final Vows, Alissa was quietly confident David would choose to stay in the relationship but it seemed her mind was also made up.

‘Today is going to be tough for David,’ she said. ‘He missed the mark because he was a “yes” man.’

‘The ball is in my court today, and it breaks my heart knowing I’m going to be breaking his heart at the end of this.’

However, David beat his bride to the punch, brutally walking away before Alissa had a chance to read her vows.

He began his own vows praising Alissa and the strong connection the pair had forged during the experiment.

David then told Alissa that his feelings about their relationship had changed during the final commitment ceremony.

‘I finally spoke up,’ he said. ‘You accused me of blindsiding you and in that moment I realised something important.

‘I wasn’t being heard. You couldn’t see I wasn’t attacking you – I was finally standing up for myself.’

He added that their clash after the Grass is Greener challenge was the final nail in the coffin.

‘You flirted, made inappropriate jokes and spoke poorly about me behind my back. I felt betrayed and disrespected by what I saw,’ he said.

‘I challenged you and you shut me down. It felt as though you wouldn’t take any accountability for how I had felt.’

David added: ‘Throughout all this, I’ve been patient, and I have done a lot of the listening, but I’m done listening.’

Admitting that he still loved Alissa, David then delivered the final blow, telling his bride he chose his own peace over Alissa.

‘With you there was no version of me that could win. I’ve realised I can’t be the man who constantly fights to be heard or constantly fights to prove his worth to someone who is still deciding if I’ll be enough,’ he said.

‘Today I’m not walking away because I’ve stopped loving you, Alissa. I’m walking away because loving you shouldn’t mean losing myself.’

With that, David walked out of Alissa’s life, leaving her looking quite shocked and angry.

‘You’re not going to listen to my vows?’ she asked as David continued to walk away in silence.

‘That’s a no?’ she added. ‘Wow, I just wasted three months of my life and he won’t even listen to me.’

Alissa proceeded to read her vows aloud to an empty room, with David nowhere to be seen.

‘David, you are everything I wanted and more. You are strong, you are kind, you are compassionate, you are a leader, but standing here today I can only be honest,’ she said, her voice echoing around the room.

‘I love you, David, for who you are but not for me.’

Despite making the decision to leave, David admitted he was ‘heartbroken.’

‘There’s been so much pain that I’ve experienced in the last two weeks. I feel tremendously heartbroken. It felt that I was fighting for a relationship that someone wasn’t willing to fight for,’ he said.
