Summary
- Jo Todd, a MAFS 2021 bride, is now dating singer Luke Stapleton.
- Luke Stapleton was Tim Gromie's best man on MAFS in 2025.
- Jo and Luke met via social media and felt an instant connection.

Married At First Sight's Jo Todd, a memorable bride from the 2021 season, has found a new love interest in singer Luke Stapleton. This relationship marks an unexpected crossover, as Stapleton previously appeared on the show in 2025 as the best man for groom Tim Gromie.
Todd and Stapleton connected through social media, with Todd expressing that it feels like a 'full-circle moment' given Stapleton had initially considered applying for the same season she was on. Their romance quickly developed from a casual drink into a deep connection, leading them to spend nearly every day together since their first meeting.
Stapleton also shared details about his falling out with his former friend Tim Gromie, attributing the end of their friendship to his public support of bride Katie Johnston and his honest account of events witnessed on the show. He accused Gromie of mistreating Johnston.
Looking back, Todd reflects positively on her MAFS experience, stating it boosted her confidence during a difficult period. She recently separated from her ex-husband, Joe Donaghy, after a few years of marriage, initiating a period of self-reflection.
The couple is now blending their lives, with Stapleton being introduced to Todd's two sons, Ryder and Cayden. The transition has been smooth, aided by Stapleton's dogs and his positive rapport with the children. They are planning a trip to New Zealand for Todd's birthday later this year.
