For their first Valentine's Day together, Melissa paid tribute to her man by posting a sweet snap of them dressed to the nines and sharing a kiss.

"Thank you for eventually replying to my DM, @therobmason," she said, followed by a quote from Love Actually. "To me, you are perfect."

"Except for your views on onion, coriander and how often Maccas drive through is socially acceptable. Fortunately, we can agree that moonwalking in the supermarket is always ok."

She went on to add: "I am usually adverse to proclamations on days we are socially pressured to, but right now, I find any reason to celebrate the love you have, is cause enough to shout it out."

The couple went public with their relationship back in September 2021, after Melissa dedicated a message to the father-of-three on Father's Day.

"Gratuitous hot dad post, a day late," Melissa penned on Instagram, sharing a stunning black-and-white photo of Rob.

"Creator of world class cosmetics and the brains behind @morrismotley, brilliant father to a legendary babe squad and the best part of my day, nothing but love @therobmason."

Melissa and Rob went public in September 2021.

Their public debut came after the 40-year-old sparked dating rumours just days before, after she shared several Instagram Stories about Rob.

One of the posts included a photo of herself preparing breakfast with Rob's daughters, where she captioned it: "Breakfast tacos for the squad."

She then uploaded a photo of Rob on Father's Day, and wrote: "Hottest dad. Cutest babes."

Rob also shared a candid shot of Melissa to his own Instagram a few days prior, where she commented that it was "just the beginning."

The couple have continued to share sweet and loving snaps.

It comes after the MasterChef star announced her separation from husband Joe Jones in December 2020, almost four years after they tied the knot in California.

She shared the news of their split via Instagram at the time, sharing a black-and-white snap of the two on their wedding day.

“It has brought us such happiness to walk together, but the time has come for Joe and I to part ways and walk on, apart,” she said.

“We ask for your kindness and consideration for our privacy, we will not be making any further comment as our private lives have, and will always remain exactly that.”
