Harrison Boon struck a serious expression in his selfie, which saw him clad in a white medical gown.
Yet the controversial MAFS alum - who faced allegations of bullying and was at the centre of a series of spats during his time on the show - attempted to make light of his mystery condition in the caption.
He wrote: "Turns out there's no cure for narcissicsm.
"Sorry guys."
His medical condition is currently unclear.
announced his engagement to girlfriend Gina Ha, who he has been dating for just over a year.
MAFS CHAOS
It was an unhappier time for Harrison on the reality TV series.
He was swiftly hailed a show villain for allegedly gaslighting his wife.
Harrison first caused a stir when he upset bride Bronte on their wedding day.
One of her bridesmaids told her that Harrison had been dating a girl in the lead up to the wedding, and wanted to be with her when he finished the show.
MAFS Australia star reveals she's back with her ex
While Bronte gave him the benefit of the doubt, she later slept with him on honeymoon, only for him to remark that there was "no chemistry" between them.
Later in the series, Harrison was accused of 'bullying' for the way he spoke about the other couples during the commitment ceremonies.
When Evelyn challenged him, they exchanged a war of words, prompting Melinda to jump in with: "You're just a rude guy! It's bullying. It's attacking everyone here.'
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.'
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?'
'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.'
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
But Harrison was having none of it, firing back: "'It's not bullying. Don't play the sex card, grow up!".
Needless to say, he and Bronte didn't go the distance and split before final vows.
'Harrison, we're done, we're over and I honestly never want to see you again," Bronte shouted at him when they split during the final dinner party.
After the series aired, Harrison hit out amid the fan backlash.
He said: "The network hid 90 per cent of Bronte's behaviour, so imagine how bad she must have been what they didn't show, in order for her to look equally as bad as me, when I'm just reacting to it."

Jack Conan reveals video from Katie Taylor inspired Lions before second Test win
Jack Conan has revealed that an inspiring video from Irish boxing great Katie Taylor helped the British and Irish Lions find the resilience needed to close out their series against Australia. Taylor, an Olympic gold medal winner and current undisputed world super lightweight champion, sent the good luck message to Andy Farrell's squad in the build-up to Saturday's second Test at Melbourne Cricket Club. The 39-year-old's words on the ability to dig deep turned out to be prophetic as the Lions emerged 29-26 winners after fighting back from an 18-point deficit. 'The video was unbelievably poignant and powerful. It spoke about being prepared to win with skill, but also being ready to win by will,' said Ireland number eight Conan, who like Taylor hails from Bray in County Wicklow. 'That was something that was massively summed up in the game because we were not at our best at all. 'It's huge because she comes from the town I'm from. I'm incredibly proud of where I come from and I know Katie is as well. 'She's gone on to achieve incredible feats in the boxing world. To be such a superstar, incredibly humble and driven is something that we leant on as well because we knew that Australia are a hugely proud nation and they showed it in spades. 'Everyone loved it, even the English and the Scottish boys and the Welsh boy – it resonated with everyone. It was unbelievably poignant, it was class. It really hit home for us.' It took a beautifully-taken try by Hugo Keenan with 51 seconds remaining to separate the rivals in one of the greatest Lions matches ever played. Remarkably, Keenan's touchdown was the first time they led in the match. Conan admits that victory tastes all the sweeter for having been taken to the wire as Australia raised their game to a whole new level a week after starting the series with a whimper in Brisbane. 'We were not at our best by any measure, but physically the lads dug in unbelievably well,' he said. 'It was disappointing how we played, but we played for 80 minutes. Hugo getting over the line in the last minute was just unbelievable. 'It wasn't my best game. A lot of us weren't at the races at all, but we stuck in there. You can't fault the effort. I thought the defensive sets we put in, just whacking people and just staying in there, was unbelievable. 'It's something that will go down in history. They won't be writing the history books about how s*** we were, but they'll say that we won and that's all that matters. 'Everyone's over the moon. To be part of a Lions winning series team is incredibly special. The celebrations in the changing room wouldn't have been the same if we'd won by 20.'

Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown spares no expense on 'timeless' wedding to Adam Woolard in France
From reality TV heartbreak to a French fairytale ending, Hannah Brown finally got her happily ever after. After navigating a whirlwind journey of public romances, including her broken engagement to Jed Wyatt on The Bachelorette, the Alabama native, 30, has officially traded in her final rose for a wedding ring. On Saturday, July 26, Brown, said 'I do' to Adam Woolard, 38, during a romantic ceremony on the French Riviera after four years of dating. The reality star married her real-life leading man at the Domaine du Mont Leuze in the South of France, surrounded by 101 guests and sweeping views of the coast. 'We wanted something really timeless and classic, and really just the celebration of our love with our friends and family,' she told People. Longtime fans of the popular TV personality know her road to love wasn't exactly smooth. Brown first captured hearts in 2019 as a contestant on The Bachelor, then became the lead on The Bachelorette, where she famously accepted — and quickly called off — an engagement to Wyatt. After that, she had a brief post-show spark with runner-up Tyler Cameron and a short-lived reunion with Peter Weber while his Bachelor season was airing. But it wasn't until she left the behind looking for love on TV and joined a dating app that she met Woolard, and found a very real connection. Their wedding weekend kicked off with a beachside welcome party at Le Negresco Beach Club in Nice, where guests arrived dressed to the nines in 'beach chic' attire and were treated to a four-course meal by the sea. Despite her busy schedule, Brown was all in on making the wedding personal, romantic, and full of intention. She praised Woolard for being a hands-on groom and wedding planner Neillie Butler for bringing the vision to life. 'We want our community to feel loved and appreciated and we want to pour into them, but we also have to make sure the day's about us and we feel connected,' Brown explained. That emotional connection was front and center when the couple shared a private first look the morning of the wedding. During the ceremony, guests were serenaded by a string quartet performing The Beatles' Here Comes the Sun, and the bridal party, including Brown's Bachelor bestie Heather Martin, walked down the aisle in colorful Show Me Your Mumu dresses. Brown made a grand entrance in a custom Mira Zwillinger 'Cheyan' ballgown — complete with embroidered leaf detailing, Jimmy Choo pumps, and a cathedral-length veil. 'I feel like it is so classic, timeless, but also feels a little unique. I love it,' she gushed. 'I always knew I wanted to take up space on my wedding day… I feel like a princess, and I feel like that's exactly how you should feel on your wedding day.' Woolard, emotional as he watched her walk down the aisle, said he'd pictured the moment for years. 'Seeing Hannah walk down... is something that I've always had a very clear picture of and how I would feel in that moment,' he said. The ceremony, officiated by their Nashville pastor, included traditional vows, plus personal handwritten ones. Cocktail hour featured live piano music and signature cocktails like the Pretty Lavender and French 75, followed by a multi-course French feast. 'One thing my mom was really adamant about is that I had a traditional wedding cake,' Brown said. Later, Brown changed into a second look, the 'Bayne' dress from Mark Ingram Bride's Spring 2025 Collection, for the reception. The couple shared a 'lightly choreographed' first dance to Ray LaMontagne's You Are the Best Thing, a song Brown sent Woolard early in their relationship. 'It reminds me of when we really had started to be boyfriend and girlfriend,' she said. 'And I think now more than ever, all the lyrics are really true.' After dancing the night away, the newlyweds made a stylish exit in a vintage 1984 Mercedes-Benz Gazelle, with Brown donning a flirty Zimmermann departure dress. After marking their latest relationship milestone, Brown and Woolard are looking forward to settling into married life in Nashville and honeymooning in Croatia. 'We're really focusing on making this house a home together,' Brown said. 'Spending time with our families and just having a little bit of a slower pace for just a little bit.' Earlier this year, Brown admitted she's not in a rush to have children. 'We'll, get there when we get there,' she said in May on Maria Menounos' Heal Squad podcast. 'I go back and forth.' She continued: 'I definitely think I would like to have a child. I don't want to miss out on that experience, but I haven't been quite ready yet. Which I think makes sense. I want to get married first. I want to be able to do that. I've never been somebody that's just waiting waiting waiting for that to happen.'

The moment I knew: he arranged a stay at a motel. In 1969 this was very risque, but I had zero hesitation
I grew up in the bush, and in 1966, as soon as I was old enough, I ran off and joined the navy. I loved the job and was having a ball. Three years in I was offered a rare opportunity to train for a top-secret role at a base in Queensland. Me and the two other girls were to be deployed to Singapore 12 weeks later. That was before my radio broke down. One afternoon, midway through my stay in Queensland, I had some issues with my electronics and called for a technician. I'd expected to get my radio repaired and get on with the day, but then the most gorgeous guy I'd ever seen walked right in and changed the course of my life. John was as cool as a cucumber as he got to work and I was struck dumb, just in awe of this incredibly handsome man. I didn't know how I was going to get him to notice me, but I was determined. A few days later there was a social evening at the base. It was casino themed and I spent the night following John around, making sure I was always in his eyeline. It wasn't the most sophisticated tactic, but it worked. By the end of the evening he'd asked me out. Our first date was seeing Johnny (as he was then) Farnham sing at Lennon's hotel in Toowoomba and it was perfect. We stole as many nights out together as we could over the next six weeks and I was going more and more gaga by the day. As my time at the base came to an end I still wasn't sure if John was as swept away by our romance as me. He always played it so cool. As we approached my last night, he arranged a getaway at Noosa to go surfing together and a stay at a motel. In 1969 this was very risque, but I had zero hesitation. Somewhere in the middle of the night he asked casually: 'What would you say if I asked you to marry me?' If this was a hypothetical question, he had no hope of getting out of it. I flew right off the bed, jumped on top of him and yelled at the top of my lungs: 'Yes, yes, yes!' I didn't give it a second thought. We set the wedding date for October – just a few months later – and I had to request a discharge from the forces; back then women couldn't serve if they were married. The whole time I was back down south John wrote me letters – 30 in all. I still have them. They were so full of love and adoration and excitement about the future we were going to have together. It was like living in a dream. Then it was time for him to drive the 1,700-odd kilometres to Menindee, where I was from – a tiny, one-horse town on the Darling River and 100km out of Broken Hill. As his little red Datsun came up the dirt road, my stomach lurched. For the briefest second I was seized by uncertainty. I couldn't even remember how tall he was. But the moment he stepped out of the car, I fell into his arms and those worries dissolved. The love I felt for him was so overwhelming. I knew this was going to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I was so smitten with John, there's no doubt we rushed into things. We really knew nothing about each other. It turns out we're exact opposites, but are such a wonderful foil for each other's personalities. I think my lively nature has kept him interested all these years, while his calmness has kept me grounded. Our first child lived for just half an hour, and while it isn't always the case, that terrible time really brought us closer together. When our son and daughter arrived safely in the coming years, I felt like the luckiest mum in the world. At a time when not all husbands were so supportive, John encouraged my desire to study to become a teacher. And just like always, once I knew he had faith in me, I felt I could do anything. To this day I wonder about how I knew, or if it was just amazing luck. But either way I've been married to the love of my life for over 55 years, so my instincts weren't bad. He's still just as gorgeous to me today as he was that afternoon in 1969. Being with John has always felt to me like living under a lucky star – everything seems to work out just how it's supposed to. Do you have a romantic realisation you'd like to share?
