Married At First Sight bride Carina Mirabile has struck up an unexpected friendship with multi-millionaire entrepreneur Adrian Portelli.
The 31-year-old digital marketing manager, who made headlines earlier this year for her drama-filled stint on the reality dating experiment, was spotted letting her hair down with the high-flying Block investor, 36, during a private function.
Carina looked glam in a form-fitting black one-shoulder bodysuit paired with a charcoal mini skirt and knee-high black leather boots.
She wore her long raven locks down in loose waves and carried a lilac drink bottle as she mingled with guests inside a chic industrial-style venue.
One video uploaded to Instagram shows the unlikely duo chatting and laughing while surrounded by a sea of familiar faces – including her MAFS co-stars Billy Belcher, Jeff Gobbels and Rhi Disljenkovic.
The group were reportedly seen earlier that day hanging out at the MCG’s lavish Grand Royale Penthouse suite before heading into the city to party at popular nightspot Storyville.
Carina and Adrian appeared to be getting along like a house on fire during the meeting.
Adrian, affectionately nicknamed ‘Mr Lambo’ thanks to his impressive luxury car collection, has been linked to a string of high-profile socialites and influencers in recent months.
It comes just weeks after Carina was photographed enjoying a low-key lunch with international superstar Drake, sending social media into meltdown and leaving fans wondering how the MAFS bride keeps finding herself in A-list company.
Back in February, Daily Mail Australia revealed that the Perth-based bride dined with her influencer friends before catching the attention of the Hotline Bling hitmaker, who was so taken with the glamorous group that he picked up their lunch bill.
Carina and her friends were later seen front and centre at Drake’s sold-out Australian concert, fuelling speculation about their growing connection.
Carina had been dining with influencer friends, including designer Nilofar Khirzad, Chloe Carolina, and Natasha Del Bianco, before catching the attention of global superstar.
An insider at the venue revealed to Daily Mail Australia that Drake and his entourage not only took notice of the reality star and her friends, but also generously covered their bill.
‘Carina and the girls were already having a fabulous time, sipping cocktails and enjoying their seafood spread, but when Drake’s crew got involved, the energy in the room completely shifted,’ the insider spilled.
According to onlookers, the rapper and his crew were seated nearby and appeared captivated by the glamorous group.
Carina and her friends were later seen at the bar, flirting up a storm with the popular rapper and his inner circle.
After some animated conversation, Carina and her friends left the restaurant, only for Drake to follow shortly after.
‘It was clear there was some serious chemistry there. Drake didn’t take his eyes off her the entire time,’ the source added.
The night didn’t end there. Carina and her girlfriends were spotted at Drake’s concert after securing prime positions near the stage.
The group looked every bit the VIPs as they enjoyed the show, with many speculating whether their night with the rap icon continued after the performance.
Carina was paired with Perth FIFO worker Paul Antoine on MAFS and the pair lasted until Final Vows.
