'You had to kiss a toad. I had to slay a dragon,' a gigglingEllie replied.
Arriving at the dinner party four weeks after filming ended, the couple walked in holding hands.
The other participants were stunned, none more so than Jono's former bride Lauren Dunn.
'She blanked me. Like, girl, I didn't do anything to you. Like... You've got my sloppy seconds,' Lauren said.
'You can say, like, hi to me. Like, I've got no issue with the girl but now I do, now it's a problem. It's just rude. So rude.'

Sara Mesa chimed in: 'I think Jono's a snake. Like, the fact that he actually messages, like, with another wife was nothing and then walk hand in hand with Ellie, it's bulls**t.'
Jono insisted the pair are 'so happy' while Ellie said she felt like she had 'won Married At First Sight'.
'She has no right to be upset and, if she is, I don't really give a (bleep),' Jono said of Lauren, before praising Ellie.
'It was worth crawling through hell on broken glass to end up with this beautiful woman,' he said.
The pair were invited to discuss their romance as soon as they sat down to dinner with the group.
'Everyone says that I'm glowing and I'm like, "Yeah!" It's not just the tan. It's Jono,"' Ellie boasted.
Fans online were quick to condemn the couple, with many sharing their thoughts on social media site X. But some were on their side
'I've been so happy. Yeah, it's been amazing. We barely spend a day apart. I wouldn't change anything. Can I have a kiss?' Jono said before the couple smooched.
Jono explained that he and Ellie had bonded over a six hour phone call following the end of the experiment.
Other participants noted how hurt Lauren seemed, and how 'slimy' and 'smug' Jono was behaving.
'Of course, I'm hurt. And I have been made to feel like I am just this, like, evil b***h that has these walls up, giving this nice guy a chance,' a tearful Lauren said.
'The whole time, I am treated as this cold person because I'm reactive and I use swear words. Like, that makes me bad?
'I've been so happy. Yeah, it's been amazing. We barely spend a day apart. I wouldn't change anything. Can I have a kiss?' Jono said before the couple smooched
'I've got a loud voice and I swear a bad person, and he just put on this, like, nice guy act the entire time. Like, it's so unfair,' she sobbed.
Jono and Lauren then came to blows, with a furious Lauren calling her former groom a 'dog'.
'You're the nastiest person I've ever met in my life, Lauren,' Jono snapped back.

'Oh Ellie don't think you're the cat that got the cream princess. If Jono did it too Lauren, he'll do it to you eventually,' said one person.
'Jono and Ellie are so classless! Pathetic,' someone else wrote.
'I cannot believe Jono and Ellie coming to the reunion together and the nasty ass comments they were making in the car??? Ratty behaviour,' one more said.
'Honestly Ellie and Jono are welcome to each other. They could bore each other to death. They don't even have half a personality between them,' said another.
Not everyone was rooting against the couple, with one person chiming in: 'Lauren, you treated Jono like a POS right from the wedding.Of course he ended up with someone who actually respected him.'
'Of course, I'm hurt. And I have been made to feel like I am just this, like, evil b***h that has these walls up, giving this nice guy a chance,' a tearful Lauren said
'Jono and Ellie are entitled to be together. It presents no moral or ethical problems. The cries of cheating or betrayal are confected outrage,' someone else said.
'BUT...do they need to be so smug and flagrant about it?' they added.
