Former Married At First Sight star Aleks Markovic has moved from Perth to Sydney to pursue a career in real estate after splitting with her TV groom, realtor Ivan Sarakula.
The 26-year-old, who rose to fame after appearing on this year’s season of the Channel Nine dating experiment, explained her move has been smooth-sailing.
‘Being on MAFS gave me a lot more opportunities, you’re more recognised now so people know who you are,’ she told Perth Now.

She continued: ‘The move to Sydney and finding a job in Sydney was a little bit easier because people had already met me through MAFS.’
Her shock career move is a surprise to many, with her ex Ivan also being a real estate agent in Sydney.
‘There’s no industry competition with (Ivan) because we work in different areas,’ she said.

It comes as the reality star slammed Endemol Shine Australia, the production company behind Married At First Sight for recruiting a ‘wellness manager’.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Aleks was blunt about believing the new mental health measure and said it wouldn’t be very effective.

‘At the end of the day they’re going to portray you the way they want and f**k up someone’s life regardless,’ she said.
She continued: ‘No wellness manager is going to prevent that from happening.’
Aleks finished by saying that it was the gamble of going on a reality show.
