Jessika Power and Dino Hira may have married other people on Tuesday’s episode of Married at First Sight, but this is not the first time the pair have been part of a production together.

Back in 2017, the meditation coach and admin officer – who both have dabbled in a bit of modelling – appeared in an advertising campaign for prescription glasses company, Speqs.

In the picture, which Dino shared with Now to Love exclusively, the pair look every bit the “regular joe” couple while modelling the glasses.

And in another photo, which Dino shared on his Insta story in 2017, the couple are seen in a behind-the-scenes look from the shoot, followed by a selfie in the specs and tagging Jess.

“How cool! Tried out so many pairs of prescription specs and sunnies without even stepping into an optometrist while at a photoshoot,” he captioned the post.

“Thank you @speqs for allowing me to model your amazing range! Can’t wait to see the results! If you are looking for a new pair of spectacles or sunnies, check out your new look on the Speqs app! 🤓😎”

The 34-year-old meditation coach is no stranger to the spotlight.

Back in 2018, Dino was previously seen looking for a date on reality series First Dates in 2018.

Dino, 34, changed his life after a broken engagement left him shattered. He turned to meditation and never looked back, and is currently working as a meditation coach. He’s also tried his hand at modelling and pageants, taking out the title of ‘Mr Australasia.’

During his stint on First Dates, Dino tried hard to show his date all of these different elements that make up his life… but he may have been trying a little too hard on the memorable date.

He brought along his Mr Australasia trophy, he tried to teach his date about ‘gratitude salt,’ and he awkwardly grabbed her hands for way too long in an effort to better connect. He also asked her to dance (in the silent restaurant, with no music playing) and asked if she liked cuddling during one particularly quiet moment.

For Kahla, his blind date, Dino’s excitement and unique first impression turned out to be too much…

And this was not the first time Channel 9 had used First Dates to find willing MAFS participants.

In fact, fan-favourite from Season 5, Davina Rankin, also appeared on the show in 2016.
