Melissa Rawson celebrated the anniversary of the day she and her current real-life partner, Bryce Ruthven, met on Married At First Sight.
The couple, who met at their 2020 “wedding” on the eighth season of the series, fell in love and married and started a family in real life.
In a post shared on Instagram, Melissa showed off the flowers and wine she had been given and explained that it has been four years since she met her true love.
“POV: When they both totally and completely forget that four years ago yesterday they “got married” on national television and met for the first time,” she captioned one clip.
‘Four years later, you’re still together, married, with twins and a big life change underway.’
This comes after Melissa shared a heartbreaking clip on social media, revealing she recently deleted a happy family photo due to incessant bullying.
The 35-year-old reality star, who shares twin sons with husband Bryce, posted a confrontational clip on Instagram.
“You may have noticed that I deleted a video because of all the bullying. People saying I don’t care about my kids and stuff like that,” Melissa began through tears.

As an active mommy blogger, Melissa frequently posts fun and relatable content about the challenges of raising her two-year-old twin sons, Levi and Tate.
However, some of her posts have been criticized by online trolls, who do not like the realistic approach she takes when posting.
Melissa added that she was forced to delete a post after hateful trolls not only criticized her content but were also rude to people who supported her.
“They were trolling people who followed me, so I deleted it because nobody deserves that,” she said.
She added that she will now limit the number of mommy blogs she writes as a way to get trolls to leave her followers alone.
“I won’t be sharing much content with the twins anymore, no one needs to be attacked for supporting me. I can’t stand people who send vile messages.”

Melissa then shared a clip of herself peacefully reading a book in bed and captioned it with some defiant words.
“I exist knowing that I am frequently trolled, sometimes threatened but enormously supported,” she wrote.
Many of Melissa’s followers quickly took to the comments section to offer their words of support.
“You are an amazing person,” wrote her MAFS co-star Belinda Vickers, while another person added: “Don’t let those keyboard warriors get you down!”
Melissa and Bryce welcomed their twin sons in October 2021.
They announced the baby news in July of that year and also revealed they were engaged to be married, before walking down the aisle last year.
Bryce and Melissa appeared on the 2020 season of Married at First Sight and fell in love on camera.
