Their relationship may be on shaky ground on Married At First Sight.
But Bec Zacharia and Danny Hewitt put their woes aside as they enjoyed a day at the beach between filming for the reality TV series last year.
The couple put on a loved-up display at a Sydney beach, proving that their relationship is in fact real off the screen.
Bec, who said she lost several kilos during her time on the show, showed off her slender figure in a revealing white one-piece swimsuit.
The 35-year-old account manager wore her hair in a braid and shielded her eyes with designer sunglasses.
Meanwhile, Danny revealed his extensive tattoo collection as he went shirtless in a pair of tiny swimming shorts.

The pair were not afraid to pack on the PDA, sharing passionate kisses and some cuddles on the sand.
The photos come as it was revealed this week that their relationship collapsed so spectacularly following this week’s couples retreat that producers were forced to step in behind the scenes to keep them from quitting the experiment altogether.
Multiple insiders have told Daily Mail that the drama between Bec and Danny reached breaking point during filming, triggering an emotional walkout and emergency intervention from production.
By the end of the explosive retreat, the pair had become so overwhelmed by the fallout that they packed their bags and left the property entirely.
But what the cameras didn’t show is what happened next.
Rather than allowing them to walk away from the show for good, producers reportedly moved quickly to salvage the relationship – quietly checking the couple into a hotel in Sydney’s CBD in a last-ditch attempt to convince them to stay.
The drama began when a cheeky speech about finger b**ging’ delivered by Bec during the first night spiralled wildly out of control.
What was meant to be a lighthearted moment between the cast quickly turned sour after one of her jokes referenced an intimate moment between another couple.

According to insiders, the remark was taken badly by fellow bride Rachel, who became visibly upset.
What followed was three days of relentless tension.
‘It started as a joke but it just snowballed,’ one source told Daily Mail.
‘Rachel was devastated and things escalated very quickly. Alliances started forming and suddenly the entire retreat became about that one moment.’
The following days saw confrontations, emotional breakdowns and growing hostility among the group.
At one point, Bec allegedly found herself isolated from many of the other brides.
‘She walked into girls’ night and suddenly everyone was against her,’ a source claimed.
While Bec tried to defend herself, the situation began taking a heavy toll on her relationship with Danny

The groom, who had initially attempted to smooth tensions between the group, reportedly became increasingly frustrated as the conflict escalated.
By the final night of filming, insiders say the pair had simply had enough.
‘Danny walked into the room and basically said, “That’s it. We’re leaving,”‘ one production insider claimed.
‘They were both emotionally exhausted. It had gone way beyond normal reality TV drama.’
When the couple left the retreat property, many of the other participants were convinced they had quit the experiment entirely.
But behind the scenes, producers had a different plan.
Rather than letting them walk away from the show, production reportedly stepped in and moved the couple into a hotel in Sydney’s CBD.
‘It was basically a cooling-off period,’ one insider revealed.

‘They were taken away from the other couples and given some space to breathe.’
The unexpected break from the chaos appeared to work.
Away from the cameras and the group tension, the pair reportedly spent several days reconnecting privately.
‘Producers were relieved,’ the insider added.
‘They really thought the couple were gone.’
