Married at First Sight star Jake Edwards appeared in high spirits as he took a stroll through Melbourne on Sunday.
The 33-year-old, who only recently left a month-long wellness retreat to help with his mental health, appeared in a good mood as he enjoyed some sunshine alongside a female pal.

Jake’s appearance comes two months after he shared an emotional video with fans from a wellness retreat, after stepping away from the limelight following his very public split from Sophie Guidolin in May.
In the footage posted to Instagram, Jake said that asking for help ‘probably saved his life’, before cryptically discussing some of the ‘choices he’s made’ which he says have ‘impacted me and the people I love’.
‘Some of you might have noticed that recently I’ve been spending some time away,’ he began.

Through no fault but my own, the last two months have been extremely difficult. I’ve made some choices in my life that has impacted me personally, but also impacted people that I love and care about.
‘My mental health got to a point that I needed to step away, and that’s what I did.’
Jake’s management confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that the reality star wasn’t in rehab, but instead took time away in a wellness retreat.
By definition, a wellness retreat promotes health and wellbeing through physical, psychological and spiritual activities to reflect on life in private surroundings.
Jake described the experience as both ‘confronting and challenging’.

‘One of the toughest things in life is to put your hand up and admit that you need help, and I was fortunate enough to be able to come away to a place like this with the full support of my family and friends,’ he continued.
‘As hard and as challenging as it’s been, and confronting with many tears on the way, it’s changed my life and probably saved my life as well.’
He concluded by saying he’s now found ‘some answers which has been really important’, and looks forward to sharing the positive changes with fans in future.
‘For anyone who has sent messages, it really, really means a lot. To my family and friends I love you all so, so much and I’ll be seeing you all again very soon,’ he said.
He made no direct mention of his public split from Sophie, 32, which the pair announced on May 14.
