In a surprise reveal that has sent the Home and Away fandom into meltdown, one of Summer Bay’s most loved on-screen couples has confirmed they’re officially married in real life — after secretly dating for months.

The couple?
👉 Matt Evans (Theo Poulos) and Jacqui Purvis (Felicity Newman)

Yes — the chemistry fans have obsessed over for years has finally turned into a real-life love story.

💍 THE SECRET CEREMONY

According to insiders, the pair tied the knot in a small, ultra-private ceremony in NSW’s Hunter Valley last weekend.
Only:

• close family

• a few castmates

• and two crew members

were invited. Phones were confiscated to prevent leaks.

One insider said:

“They didn’t want a circus. They just wanted each other. It was beautiful.”

❤️ THEIR FIRST STATEMENT

Hours ago, the couple finally made it official with a joint post:

“Some stories write themselves… and this one became our forever.”

Fans flooded the comments within minutes:

• “THIS IS EVERYTHING!”

• “Summer Bay royalty is real!”

• “I KNEW IT FROM THE FIRST KISS!”

⭐ HOW IT STARTED

The two allegedly became close during the emotional Theo–Felicity scenes filmed early 2024. Their friendship grew quietly off-screen, with castmates later revealing they were “inseparable” long before dating rumours began.

A source said:

“They tried to keep it casual… but it was obvious they were falling hard.”

🌊 REACTION FROM THE CAST

Co-stars have been dropping subtle hints:

• Ada Nicodemou posted: “Couldn’t be happier for these two lovebirds.”

• James Stewart commented: “Welcome to the married club!”

• Emily Symons wrote: “The most magical secret I ever kept.”

🔥 WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THEIR CHARACTERS

Rumours hint that the writers are now considering:

• a Theo return arc

• a Felicity redemption storyline

• even a joint cameo episode in late 2026

to celebrate the actors’ real-life union.

Producers reportedly LOVE the idea — knowing fans adore real-life couples playing out emotional arcs on-screen.
