Australia all gathered to Sydney for the 2018 ARIA Awards.
Last year, the event was a huge milestone for Sophie Monk and Bachelorette winner Stu Laundy.
Yet Ali Oetjen and Taite Radley noticeably skipped the iconic event… For a a gym session.
Love was the theme for this year’s ARIAs, with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban dazzling us with some major PDA.
Making an appearance would have been the perfect opportunity for Ali and Taite to squash talks that their relationship isn’t real.
Yet the couple, who found each other on a reality show, decided to go for some cuddle action in the gym.
Both took to Instagram to show how much fun they were having with each other, in Taite’s hometown of Ballarat in Victoria.
The pair opted for selfies at Doherty’s gym.
“My other half 👸🏼🖤🤴🏻,” she penned.
Taite revealed that they needed a little more action – heading for a F45 session.
Ali’s return to Ballarat is huge for the couple.
“First time back since hometowns to beautiful Ballarat,” she shared.
The loved up snaps follows photos published on the Daily Mail show that the pair look particularly unimpressed by each other.
Despite their constant loved up display posted across their Instagram page.
A body language expert, Holly Bartter told the Daily Mail, “Taite definitely appears a little more camera-shy and aware of being affectionate in public, looking up when Ali looks up at him and gazing into his eyes.”
An insider explained to WHO, “Taite is a fantastic manipulator.”
Not keen on playing second fiddle in the spotlight to unlucky-in-love Oetjen and having only applied to be a contestant for fame, the handsome reality star spent weeks playing up to the cameras portraying himself as the perfect match.
“He only ever wanted to make it to the final two. He made it very clear from the start that while he knew winning the show is good for your public profile, becoming the heartbroken reject who gets a second chance is even better.”
