Ever since former Married At First Sight star Ella Ding first started soft-launching her new boyfriend on Instagram, fans have been dying to know who the lucky guy she’s now dating is.

The 29-year-old influencer has been dropping a number of not-so-subtle clues that she’s now off-the-market with some small glimpses of her new bae.

Now, as revealed in episode 277 of the So Dramatic! podcast, super sleuths have hunted down Ella’s mystery man’s identity and have finally managed to put a name to the random body parts she’s been sharing of him.

Who is Ella Ding’s new boyfriend?

So Dramatic! can reveal that the 2022 MAFS bride’s new boyfriend is a normie named Guy Palermo.

How do we know? Well, Ella shared an unassuming snap to her Instagram Story and to the layperson, it’s nothing more than a pic of two people in the car.

However, if you look very closely like one astute super-spy did, you can see a name on a blood test that was featured in the corner of the pic. And alas, there’s our answer!

Since then, the podcast host posted an actual pic with her new man at her birthday celebrations on April 9, however, his face was still not shown.

Luckily, we’ve been able to find a pic of his face and let’s just say, their kids will be #GeneticallyBlessed!

Unfortunately, that’s about all we know about Ella’s Guy at this stage but what this space as we’re sure there will be a hard launch coming very soon.

Ella Ding’s dating history

In June 2022, Ella got candid about her pre-MAFS dating history on her podcast Sit With Us.

“I haven’t said I love you to a man in 11 years and meant it. And that makes me so, so sad because I love love,” she said. “It’s all I’ve been chasing since before the show.”

Ella was unsuccessfully paired with Mitch Eynaud during the 2022 season of MAFS. The couple made it just a few weeks past the final vows.

But sparks began flying between Ella and her MAFS co-star Brent Vitiello not long after. The pair fuelled speculation they’d struck up a romance after the experiment came to an end.

However, it was short-lived and the pair now remain just friends.

Following her stint on MAFS, Ella made her debut on the British reality show Made in Chelsea.

After forming a connection with MIC star Miles Nazaire on social media, Ella went over to London for filming with him.

But she “didn’t find love”.

“Made in Chelsea was pretty crazy. The show was intense. It was probably harder than MAFS. It’s such a short period of time. I didn’t find love,” she revealed at Channel Nine’s Upfronts presentation.

“I should probably learn not to find love on TV.”

And find love off TV she did!
