Married At First Sight star Dave Hand has been spotted on a date with fellow bride Veronica Cloherty.
The 36-year-old, who is married to Jamie Marinos on the show, is set to be paired with Veronica during a Partner Swap challenge this week.
The pair were seen visiting a gym together while enjoying a break from filming the show.
Dave dressed casually in black shorts and a matching coloured T-shirt as he chatted to Veronica during the outing.
At one point, the MAFS bride tried to keep a low profile as she covered her face with her grey hoodie.
She finished her look with light blue tights and wore a pair of white sneakers.

Veronica and Dave were also seen out and about together on a second date, in which they were spotted arriving to a local establishment.
Dave will be partnered with Veronica for a week after she ranked him second in the infamous photo ranking task. And let’s just say, the chemistry is instant.
After being paired with Veronica, suddenly Dave finds himself questioning everything.
‘Everyone already knew Dave wasn’t really into Jamie,’ one source said.
‘They were mismatched from the start. He was never fully invested.’
Spending time with Veronica only confirmed what he had been trying to ignore.
The source added: ‘With Jamie, it always felt forced. But with Veronica, it was effortless. Zero pressure, no awkwardness – just easy conversation and natural chemistry.
‘The moment he felt that difference, he couldn’t unsee it.’

Meanwhile, Dave and Jamie faced their biggest challenge during the show’s fifth dinner party.
Jamie arrived ready for a fight, still reeling from what she saw as a betrayal by Carina and Rhi during the couples retreat after a heated fight with Lauren Hall.
She had expected their support, but instead, they had comforted Lauren following an argument, leaving Jamie feeling abandoned and blindsided.
Before stepping into the chaos, Jamie confided in Dave and their close ally, Teejay Halkias, making it clear she wasn’t backing down and wanted an apology.
But Carina and Rhi were not about to roll over, believing Jamie had been unfair in how she treated Lauren.
As the dinner party began, Jamie wasted no time confronting Carina, accusing her of siding with Lauren and failing to have her back.
But Carina’s response only poured fuel on the fire – calling Jamie’s behaviour at the retreat ‘mean girls antics.’

Jamie was furious and a heated argument erupted.
With emotions running high, Jamie turned her attention to Rhi, making it clear she felt hurt and let down.
Unlike Carina, Rhi apologised and Jamie accepted – but not without making it clear that Carina wasn’t getting the same grace.
The night ended with Carina storming away in tears, while Jamie and Dave remained united, proving once again that while friendships may fall apart, their relationship is only getting stronger.
