Hayley Vernon has more than moved on from Married At First Sight

The pair were pictured taking a stroll together in South Melbourne. 

They appeared relaxed in each other’s company, holding hands and later wrapping their arms around one another as they walked side-by-side. 

Hayley and Scott shared many laughs during their afternoon walk. 

She dressed casually in activewear, highlighting her incredible physique in a pair of black leggings and a cropped grey t-shirt.

When asked for clarification on their relationship by Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday, Hayley insisted Scott has been one of her best friends for years. 

‘Scotty has always been there for me, his family are an extension of mine. He came up [to visit me] to make sure I didn’t spend Easter alone,’ she said. 

‘I can’t see my dad as he is self-isolating. Easter is significant to me as it’s the time in my life I decided to get clean.’ 

Hayley is a former ice addict, which she was open about on the reality show.

She turned to fitness to overcome her drug abuse several years ago, and then reconnected with family and friends they’d after become estranged.

Hayley was famously ‘married’ to David Cannon on season seven of MAFS.

Their relationship lasted just a couple of weeks, ending after she drunkenly kissed co-star Michael Goonan behind his back during a wild night in Sydney. 

The reality show, which was filmed last year, finished airing last Sunday. 

Since filming wrapped, Hayley has gone blonde, had Botox and filler treatments, received a ‘leg sleeve’ tattoo and got veneers.

She spent Saturday at Next Dimension Hair & Co in Melbourne where she completed her celebrity makeover with soft beach waves and extensions
