His regular hangouts on the Gold Coast with fellow Married At First Sight star Tamara Joy had sparked rumours of a romance.

But on Friday, Ivan Sarakula was seen cosying up to a stunning blonde while on a night out at bar Nineteen, at Queensland's The Star Casino.

His companion, Bec Cosier, shared a video to her Instagram Stories of the pair embracing, and Ivan blowing a kiss at the camera.

Ivan cut a suave figure for the occasion in a crisp white dress shirt and trousers, and appeared relaxed and at ease as he held onto a glass of bubbly. 

The sighting comes after Ivan and Tamara told Daily Mail Australia that despite the allure of a reality romance, they are nothing more than 'just friends'. 

Ivan, 31, and Tamara, 29, were seen on Instagram cuddling up for a sexy beach selfie - wearing nothing but skimpy swimwear as they soaked up the Queensland sun.   

Rumours first began to swirl when the duo spent the festive season together, and posed in very sexy ensembles by the tree.

Ivan's costume consisted of underwear with the face of Santa placed in a rather racy position, and a pair of red straps that ran up his chest.

He also showed off his new, long hair in the image, and held Santa's hat up against his torso in a suggestive manner as he beamed for the camera.

Tamara meanwhile looked adorable in a Mrs Claus outfit that flaunted her impressive physique.

He captioned the photo simply 'Merry Christmas' then joked on Instagram Stories that the pair had picked matching outfits by accident.

Ivan has been in the sunshine state spending time with his former co-stars including Tamara and Hayley Vernon.

In recent months, Ivan has drastically changed his appearance by growing out his hair and hitting the gym to add some muscle to his frame.

Ivan was partnered with fellow real estate agent Aleks Markovic on Married At First Sight last year, but they are no longer together.

Meanwhile, Tamara rose to fame on the sixth season of the show, and 'tied the knot' with Dan Webb - who continued on the show with new flame Jessika Power.

The pair's short-lived romance failed to last away from the show.
