The Sydney-based actress, 32, was a late addition to the latest series of Married At First Sight Australia.
During her time on the show she was matched with Eliot Donovan, who had previously walked out on his first MAFS wedding to Lauren Hall.
However, the pair had a rocky romance that saw them have multiple arguments.
They split shortly before the final vows, and haven't seen each other since.
Keen to move on with her life, Veronica has revealed she has got back together with her ex-boyfriend.
Although she hasn't revealed his name, she shared a clip on her Instagram Stories which showed her on a beach looking happy and relaxed.
As she panned the camera around, a man can be seen briefly jumping behind her in the background.
Writing over the sweet clip, Veronica quoted a fan who commented that she "looked happier", to which she replied: "Thanks, I'm talking to my ex again."
SLAMMING MAFS
This latest revelation comes a few weeks after she opened up about her experience of being on MAFS, and the negative impact it has had her life.

She talked about how she "became the show's villain" which resulted in her being subjected to cruel trolling online.
Speaking to the MailOnline in May about her experience, she confessed: "It became very apparent to me very quickly that I was a side piece in a bigger story and learning that Eliot had already been on the show kind of blindsided me right from the start."
Despite seeming to click at the wedding and enjoying their honeymoon together, the pair where then dogged by arguments.
It often appeared on screen that Veronica was the more unreasonable of the two, and was seen storming out on a few occasions.

But the reality TV bride now claims that viewers weren't shown the whole picture.
"The edit didn't make any sense to me," she said.
"The Eliot that I experienced was closer to the Eliot that was first portrayed.
"I had difficulties with him from the wedding, and we had tense conversations throughout our honeymoon that were uncomfortable, that were disrespectful."
She continued: "It's just been really challenging for me to grapple with how it's all been portrayed publicly and then also how I felt being in that situation.
"There were many moments where I wanted to leave and I was having those conversations prior to even getting to the dinner party."
Talking about the horrific trolling she experienced, she told the outlet: "Look, it's been really difficult.
"I actually got my TikTok back yesterday and there's more than like 3000 messages in there and pretty much every single one of them is advising me to take my own life."

Aussie icon set to headline the 2025 Logie Awards is revealed
The 65th TV Week Logie Awards have finally revealed their headline act for this year's ceremony. Beloved rocker Jimmy Barnes is set to take the stage at The Star Sydney on August 3, bringing four decades of fan-favourite hits to Aussie ears. Jimmy, who has 21 number-one albums under his belt as well as a place in the ARIA Hall of Fame, revealed he couldn't wait to 'get the party jumping' at the annual awards ceremony. 'I am excited about playing at the Logies, television's big night of nights,' the 69-year-old said. 'It will be great to celebrate all the fantastic talent we have in Australian television, and to play some rock'n'roll music to get the party jumping.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Aussie icon will be joined by the likes of Kitty Flanagan, Hamish Blake and Leigh Sales, who are just a few of the presenters expected to wow the crowd. It has also been revealed that Sam Pang will host the event for the third time. Sam's cheeky and irreverent comedy as host last year and in 2023 proved to be a big hit with audiences and TV's A-list, as well as a major ratings winner for Seven. 'It's been an honour to host the last two years and I'm looking forward to again celebrating the talented people and amazing shows that combine to make the Australian television industry something everyone can be proud of,' Sam told The Herald Sun. 'I am very excited to return for another Logies and would like to thank Seven for asking me back.' The Logie nominations were officially announced in June at the Sydney Opera House and Aussies were relieved to see a certain TV icon up for the most coveted category. Lynne McGranger, who played Irene Roberts on the soap opera Home and Away for over 33 years, has finally scored a Gold Logie nomination for her hard work. Taking to Instagram, the 72-year-old Aussie star gushed about the milestone moment in her career and urged fans to vote. 'Well this is some fabulous news to get while I'm away!!' she penned. 'I am so thrilled to be nominated for a Silver Logie for Best Lead Actress in a Drama and the coveted GOLD LOGIE!' Also nominated for the number one gong is A Current Affair's Ally Langdon, 46, who won Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year. Not his first rodeo, two-time winner Hamish Blake, 43, is in the draw again for the Gold Logie, having won it back in 2022 for Lego Masters and in 2012 for Hamish and Andy's Gap Year. Former ABC News Breakfast presenter Lisa Millar, 56, is also in the running for the top prize for her work on Backroads and Muster Dogs. Also in the running is MasterChef Australia's Poh Ling Yeow, 51, who was recently plagued with speculation that she may be stepping back from the beloved cooking show before revealing she had signed on to return in 2026. Julia Morris, 57, is set to battle it out for the Gold Logie too, after hosting Network 10's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in South Africa alongside conservationist Robert Irwin. And last but not least, Dancing With The Stars' Sonia Kruger, 59, is up for the number one gong again after nabbing a Gold Logie back in 2023. Voting is now open and will remain so until 7pm on Friday August 1. The ceremony will be available to watch on Seven and 7Plus.

Unorthodox new dating trend Aussies are jumping on as they ditch frustrating apps: 'Such a different vibe'
Fed-up young Aussies are abandoning dating apps and jumping onto a new and unorthodox craze in the hopes of finding love. Instead of getting lost in toxic online platforms, friends are using PowerPoint presentations to pitch their lovelorn mates as a romantic prospect to a pub full of singles. The events are a refreshing departure from the grim world of dating apps that involve endless swiping, lacklustre conversations with matches, and disappointing meet-ups. A Forbes study in 2024 found 75 per cent of Gen Z singles who used Tinder, Hinge or Bumble felt burnt out and didn't think they could make a genuine connection. Matchmaking company Pitch Perfect Match hosts the new dating events, with co-founder Selani Adikari labelling it a game-changer. 'Friends are better matchmakers for two reasons, they know you best and they're not afraid to boast about you in ways that you might not feel comfortable with,' she said. 'A person's friendships are a direct reflection of themselves, so when your friends go up to pitch you, someone watching can get a vibe for who you are, through your friends, and that's very difficult on dating apps. 'Meeting people in person is such a different vibe to scrolling through 2D photos on an app.' The Sydney local said the 'aha moment' for the idea arrived after three years of singledom and a growing frustration with the limitations of dating apps. The format is simple yet refreshing. Instead of self-promoting, singles get pitched by their friends in a three-to-four-minute PowerPoint-style presentation. Ms Adikari said that the friend advantage hits different because best pals can boast with honest charm. She said the novel approach challenges the superficial swiping culture and makes people feel more hopeful about love. Forrester's in Surry Hills debuted the idea on Valentine's Day and declared it wildly successful, with the next event planned for September 18. Events and reservations manager Sarah Cheney said they trialled the idea after witnessing the growing trend of 'Pitch Your Friend' nights popping up across the US. Ms Cheney agreed friends made better matchmakers than dating apps and algorithms. 'A friend knows you; an app doesn't,' she said. 'Apps rely on hard data filters like age and height, while a friend sees the full picture – your personality, your values, your quirks. 'With dating apps and algorithms, people are trying to portray themselves as they see themselves, but what actually ends up happening is that they portray themselves as they aspire to be. 'This is why so many first dates are such flops – the person you fell in love with on the app isn't the same as the one you met for a coffee, for dinner, or at the park.' Ms Cheney said events that bring strangers together in real life were becoming rarer. 'Younger generations that have grown up online with social media as a primary source of interpersonal connection are craving more than likes and DMs,' she said. 'I think this trend is also challenging the way we tend to judge a book by its cover when using dating apps. 'You can't swipe left on someone pitching their bestie in person – you have to watch and listen to the whole thing. 'By the end of the pitch, I think most people find that their initial judgment of that person was wrong and it opens them up to be more curious and less reactionary.' While it's early days, Forrester's has been offered as a free wedding venue for any couple that ties the knot after meeting at their inaugural event. Scientist-turned-love-guru Samantha Jayne praised the concept because it revealed authentic multidimensional qualities missing from the swiping culture. 'When your friends promote you it is real, it shows the connections you have in your life and you are a great person important enough in someone's life that they have gone to the effort of creating a pitch for you,' she said. 'The energy of a friend who believes in you is contagious. It invites the audience and potential dates to feel something, connection, curiosity, empathy. 'That is rarely achieved in static app profiles.' Ms Jayne said there had been a 'drastic' decline in singles using dating apps. 'At first when joining a dating app a person gets excited with the prospects of options it's a confidence boost but after no genuine connections or outcomes that occur as a result then that is when frustration kicks in,' she said. 'The technology itself is very useful and makes sense but the biggest problem is the people don't know how to use it. 'However, there are effective ways to make the apps work if you know how to use them.'
