Stella Mickunaite and Filip Gregov stole hearts on Married At First Sight and now, they’re planning their wedding.
And the fan favourites could have the chance to turn their nuptials into an eye-watering payday, with Channel Nine keen to televise their wedding.
“There’s huge interest in Stella and Filip right now,” an insider told the Daily Mail.
“A televised wedding is absolutely on the table.”
It wouldn’t be the first time that a MAFS wedding has been televised, with 2019 lovebirds Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant also tying the knot on camera.
Their TV wedding reportedly earned them between $50,000 and $75,000, with Stella and Filip now in with the same chance to cash in.
However, some insiders have speculated that Stella and Filip could be looking at a higher payday, given how the popularity of the show has risen.
“The TV cheque is just one piece of the puzzle,” one production source explained.
“The real money comes from everything around it – the magazine deals, the sponsorships, the brand partnerships, that’s where it adds up very quickly.”
The Daily Mail has theorised that the newly-engaged couple could earn as much as $200,000 from a TV wedding and commerical partnerships.
When are Stella and Filip getting married?
While they haven’t confirmed any plans for a TV wedding, Stella and Filip have revealed they are getting married in 2026.
They have already set their eye on a date, and want to tie the knot in Croatia on the first anniversary of their MAFS wedding in July.
They have decided on a Croatian wedding to honour Filip’s heritage and to enable Stella’s family in Lithuania to attend.
“It would be peak summer in Europe. We have to look into it more, but it’s 100 per cent happening,” Filip told Nine.
The couple have also said they want their wedding to be more “intimate” than their MAFS nuptials, perhaps signalling that they aren’t interested in a TV deal.
Are Stella and Filip from MAFS engaged?
Filip proposed to Stella during Final Vows, bringing their fairytale MAFS journey to a perfect close.
“Stella, I love you more than I ever thought possible and have never felt more certain of anything. I know what my heart wants, something just for us, something that is truly ours,” he told Stella before proposing.
Viewers were stunned when Filip got down on one knee, but nobody was as shocked as Stella, who never expected the proposal.
In fact, Stella thought it was a “shoelace” prank before he pulled out a diamond ring and popped the question.
“Not in my wildest dreams did I think he would drop to one knee at the end of the experiment – but he did,” Stella told our sister publication TV Week.
“I had no idea it was coming. Of course, I’d dreamed of it like any girl would, especially once I started to see the beautiful person he was very early on.”
After the proposal, we spoke exclusively with Ernesto Buono, the founder of Ernesto Buono Fine Jewellery in Sydney, for details about the stunning ring.
The master jeweller theorised that the ring could be worth as much as $20,000.
“The ring is a solitaire rectangular cushion and is approximately 1.5 carats. A lab-grown diamond will be in the 6k range and natural around 20k,” he told us.
