They lingered outside afterward, laughing and joking despite the wet weather, giving off a relaxed, natural energy.
They stayed close as they walked, clearly enjoying each other’s company and making the most of their day out.
The pair looked happy and relaxed, taking time to enjoy simple moments together and share a few playful exchanges in the drizzle.
It comes after Julia broke her silence after her awkward showdown with husband Grayson left viewers divided.
Speaking to Daily Mail, Julia, 35, insisted she was simply being ‘honest and authentic’ when she chose emotional connection over physical chemistry – and says she felt unfairly criticised for refusing to rush into the bedroom.
‘I think it is really unrealistic to expect me to prance around in lingerie at that point,’ she said bluntly.
‘We hadn’t even kissed. I don’t think we should expect women to jump into bed with someone, just because we’re married.’
The Melbourne-based bride admitted watching the episode back was ‘confronting’, particularly the tense argument that unfolded after days of exhaustion and mounting pressure.

‘After three nights of sleep deprivation, I was exhausted,’ she said.
‘Seeing the argument between Grayson and me definitely took me back to that time, and it was really uncomfortable – especially with someone I’d just met.’
While Grayson confessed he felt ‘stuck in the friend zone’, Julia says there was far more context than what made it to air.
‘I’m a 35-year-old woman. I need vulnerability, I need emotional and intellectual stimulation and connection to then move into a physical space,’ she explained.
For Fantasy Night, rather than opting for lingerie or seduction, Julia organised a card game designed to spark deeper conversation.

‘I really wanted to get to know him better,’ she said.
‘I actually felt really connected after that. Even the question about his football – he’s expressed how important that is to him. That was my way of listening to what’s important for him.’
She admitted she ‘definitely didn’t expect to ruffle his feathers so much with a card game’.
Whether emotional depth will eventually lead to passion remains to be seen – but Julia has made one thing clear: she refuses to rush intimacy for the sake of television.
Married At First Sight continues Monday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine.
