The Block’s Bianca Chatfield celebrates her first anniversary with MAFS’s Mark Scrivens

They may be one of reality TV’s most surprising couples, but Bianca Chatfield and Mark Scrivens recently celebrated their first anniversary together.

In an interview with the Herald Sun earlier this month, the 38-year-old former Block star revealed most people probably had no idea she was dating Mark.

‘A lot of people wouldn’t know we’ve been together for a year because we were so conscious of keeping it on the down low,’ she said of her relationship with the 42-year-old former Married At First Sight star.

 

While the couple initially bonded over their shared experiences of appearing on reality TV, Bianca said their relationship is very much the real deal.

‘For us, it was a real relationship and nothing to do with TV. Even though I’m a public person I’ve always kept my personal life private. But now we’re like whatever, it’s going well and really cruisy,’ she added.

Bianca said they initially traded a few messages, even though she had never watched Married At First Sight. 

She described their early exchanges as ‘a bit bizarre and random’, but said they ‘share a lot of the same interests’.

‘Isn’t it a weird world? We kept it under wraps for a while before we were comfortable with it all,’ added Mark, who revealed their first date was on March 31 last year.

The couple fuelled dating rumours in September, when they attended the AFL Footy Show grand final together in Melbourne.

Since then, both Mark and Bianca have been more open about their relationship, sharing a series of loved-up photos together on their respective Instagram pages. 

Mark appeared on last year’s season of MAFS, where he was paired with Ning Suriasing, while Bianca appeared on The Block in 2018, alongside best friend Carla Dziwoki. 

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to both Mark and Bianca for comment.
