Are Michael and Rielli from My Kitchen Rules Still Together?
Yes, they’re still an item, no break-up drama to report here! Honestly, for a pair who’ve spent half the season on My Kitchen Rules trading spicy quips and even spicier meat dishes, their relationship looks about as solid as a perfectly rested lamb rack. Scroll through their socials and you’ll spot silly photobooth snaps, playful Insta Stories, and those “I’ll roast you but I’ll also hug you afterward” vibes that feel pretty real. Do they bicker in front of millions? Absolutely. But when it comes to their bond, they seem to have each other's backs, at least when knives aren’t involved.

Relationship Highlights: Five Years and Counting
They’ve been together for five years, and it shows. The couple is one of those reality TV combos that spark fierce debates online. Some fans rally around their playful banter and high-energy cooking battles; others swear Michael’s confidence borders on “meat master madness” and think Rielli’s comebacks are just a tad too sharp. But whether you love them or roll your eyes, Michael and Rielli have become essential to MKR’s drama, with each episode leaving viewers wondering who’s going to walk out or who’s going to hug next.

Rivalries, Height Jokes, and Kitchen Tears
Are they still together? Absolutely. Are they still stirring the pot (literally and figuratively)? You bet. Recent blowups with Mark over kitchen skills and Mark’s height led to memorable moments, like Rielli quipping, “When you can reach the bench, you can say that,” which sent Mark storming out. Was it harsh? For sure. Did Rielli apologize? She did and then some. Turns out Mark allegedly tried to call Michael outside for a showdown that didn’t cu TV, plus he’s been throwing shade online. Through all that, Michael and Rielli stuck together, weathering fan arguments and judge feedback like a true team.
Quick anecdotes from the show:
-
Michael attempted a bold French menu; Rielli’s pastry was so flawless that Manu called it “a lesson on making puff pastry.” Meanwhile, Michael bristled at duck criticism but defended his lamb rack performance.
-
When guest teams gave them a surprisingly low score, Michael muttered about tactical voting, and Rielli just rolled her eyes. Gotta love reality romance.

Lighter Moments and Real-Life Feels
Sometimes the best stuff isn’t about big fights or flashy drama. Rielli has posted cute photobooth pictures of her and Michael, and their TikToks show off the couple poking fun at each other’s less-than-perfect kitchen slip-ups. There’s hearty laughter, some (mock) groans when the judges get stern, and the sort of chemistry that doesn’t quite fit inside a recipe card. You get the sense that, off camera, they probably share burnt toast and mutter about “meat master” mistakes in their Queensland kitchen.
Still Together, Still Dramatic, Still Fun
For every fan hoping for a reality TV split, Michael and Rielli are hanging in there, spicy as ever. Are they perfect? Not a chance. But their ups and downs, the laughter, the tears, the occasional Insta roast- feel a little more lived-in than most. If MKR is all about mixing ingredients, these two are a recipe for entertainment that’s nowhere near finished.
And honestly, with the way they riff off each other, maybe the real prize isn’t just the MKR trophy, it’s surviving a kitchen showdown with your significant other and actually wanting to cook dinner together when the cameras stop rolling.
