Rebecca Zukowski, known for her appearance on Married At First Sight, was recently seen without her wedding ring, signaling a potentially challenging time. The sighting, which occurred this week, came after a significant development in her personal life.

The 51-year-old reality TV star faced heartbreak on Tuesday night when her husband, Steve Powell, aged 50, announced the end of their relationship. This news seemed to weigh heavily on Rebecca as she ventured out alone in Melbourne on Friday.

Despite her somber mood, Rebecca maintained an effortlessly stylish appearance. She wore a $226 graphic T-shirt by the Los Angeles-based brand, Anine Bing, which added a touch of casual sophistication to her look.

Complementing the T-shirt, Rebecca sported a pair of crisp white shorts that highlighted her slender legs, ending just above the knee. Her ensemble was completed with black sunglasses and black slide sandals, perfectly accessorizing her relaxed, yet fashionable, outfit.

She also showcased her lithe legs in a pair of  crisp white shorts that finished mid-thigh.

The reality star also carried a small white leather handbag as well as a laptop, suggesting that she was on her way to conduct some business.

Sporting a stoic expression, Rebecca took a phone call during the outing, and appeared deeply engrossed in the chat as she strolled.

While wearing a gold necklace, there was one piece of bling curiously missing from Rebecca’s ensemble – the wedding ring given to her by Steve when the couple exchanged vows. 

The blonde also had some choice words for Steve in a video shot by Daily Mail this week, referring to her former husband as ‘Temu George Clooney,’ while also calling him a f***ing c*** during an explosive FaceTime call.   

‘I don’t need a broke a*** silver fox Temu George Clooney,’ she said.

‘I need a real man now to slide into my DMs. I’m ready for love.’    

It comes after Steve unceremoniously called time on his relationship with Rebecca on Tuesday night, but not before a fiery clash with expert Alessandra Rampolla.

The confrontation started when the grooms were discussing the racy intimacy week challenges set by their brides.

Steve explained to the group that Rebecca had opted not to wear the sexy lingerie she had purchased out of respect for his conservative sensibilities.

He then made the bizarre claim that his reluctance to take part in the racy challenge had actually strengthened their relationship.

‘She chose not to dress up and make me uncomfortable,’ he said.

‘It actually bonded us… she brought us closer by not doing that.’

Backflipping on his earlier claim, Steve then admitted that after the challenge, the pair had an argument, off camera, that led to him spending the night in another bed.

He also admitted to questioning Rebecca’s motives for being in the experiment.

‘Rebecca was saying the only reason she is here is to find love and I kind of called her out on that because I’m sure there’s other reasons she’s here also,’ Steve said.

Steve then, to the shock of the assembled grooms, questioned Alessandra’s credibility.

‘I don’t have an earpiece in my ear. I’m not waiting for someone to tell me what to say,’ he said.

When she replied that nobody was feeding her lines through an earpiece, Steve shot back a cynical laugh.

‘Honestly, the lack of respect that you’re showing me as somebody who’s here to help guide you is appalling,’ she said. ‘Really, tread lightly. I don’t take to this well.’

Things went from bad to worse for Steve after he arrived back at the hotel room for another confrontation with Rebecca.

She accused Steve of not making an effort in the relationship and displaying little accountability.

Steve said he wasn’t interested in taking part in what he described as ‘soft porn’ in a bid to be more intimate with Rebecca, which his bride slammed as laughable.

That proved to be the last straw for the couple, with Steve packing a bag and leaving his betrothed – but not before taking a cruel dig at Rebecca.

‘At least you get to be yourself now and you can give them the TV gold that you’ve been holding back on, yeah?’ he said. ‘So, go for it.’

Rebecca was no less scathing in her parting assessment of Steve.

‘He would have to be the weakest man I’ve ever met in my entire life,’ she told producers.
