Who is Stella Mickunaite?

In her early twenties, Stella made the bold decision to move from Lithuania to Australia to follow her dream and create the perfect life.

It certainly had its obstacles since English is Stella’s second language and she had no family or friends Down Under but now, the 32-year-old beauty technician calls Sydney home.

However she certainly hasn’t lost her roots and believes in more traditional relationship structures, which is far more common in Eastern Europe.

Causing drama…

Before the show even aired, rumours buzzed that Stella “blindsided” co-star Brook Crompton during filming.

As reported by So Dramatic!, a witness revealed, “Stella told Brook that she came across as cold and fake, right there in front of everyone. You could’ve heard a pin drop.”

Experts John Aiken, Alessandra Rampolla and Mel Schilling all hinted that there are some “”strong” and “empowered and outspoken women on the show” this season so it sounds like Stella is definitely one of them.

“The women this year are particularly feisty,” sexologist Alessandra confessed.

“And that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s about sisterhood. In fact sometimes it’s quite the opposite,” added Mel.

Despite some worries from Stella’s friends that her new husband was only on the show to boost his YouTube channel, they seem to have gone from strength to strength.

But a very big clue that these two have made it official in the real world is that Leila, Stella’s friend who was initially unsure about Filip and his intentions, is now following him on social media, and he is following her back.
