The couple announced their plans to marry after the newcomer groom popped the question to season 12's most controversial bride.
The golf pro got down on one knee in front of a crowd of fans at a MAFS season 12 reunion episode watch party hosted by entertainment journalist Megan Pustetto of the So Dramatic! podcast on April 6.
"You're an absolute star and you've been a star in my life," Clint said.
"I know we've talked a lot about our future and our future plans, we signed up to Married At First Sight to get married," he said before asking the former lawyer if she would be his wife.
Jacqui squealed in glee as he presented her with a massive diamond ring.
The pair controversially announced that they were in a relationship by appearing in a Women's Day spread around two weeks before MAFS producers revealed the development in the show.
Jacqui was initially matched with Ryan on the reality show while Clint was a late addition to the cast, being the second groom matched with Lauren.
Jacqui and Ryan's explosive relationship escalated after the final episodes of the season aired with both reality TV stars allegedly slinging mud online.
Jacqui was granted an interim restraining order against her former 'husband', stopping him from making comments about her online, and Ryan has signalled an intention to do the same.
Clint and Jacqui said they plan to live together, with their pet Samoyed dogs, in Tasmania.
