Married At First Sight star Jules Robinson bought her own engagement ring a year before meeting her husband Cameron Merchant.

The 38-year-old revealed on Instagram on Tuesday she'd purchased the ring when she was single about 12 months before going on the Nine show in 2019.

Jules also explained that the rings she and Cameron exchanged at their televised wedding had fake diamonds, but she still wears hers for sentimental reasons.

'FYI I still wear my MAFS band on my right hand. And times have changed as mine isn't real diamonds. I missed out,' she wrote.

'I love the ring all the same though,' she added.

Jules then spoke about her other ring - the one she'd bought herself.

'The other ring is the engagement ring I brought myself a year before I met Cam,' she explained.

Buying your own engagement ring is actually becoming increasingly popular, with some women saying it creates a more equal partnership because there is less of a financial burden on men.

Jules and Cam have proven to be one of Married At First Sight's greatest success stories after rising to fame in season six.

After falling in love on the social experiment, they got engaged and legally tied the knot in late 2019 in a lavish ceremony that was broadcast on A Current Affair.

The couple welcomed son Oliver 'Ollie' Merchant in October last year.

They recently enjoyed a well-deserved family holiday on the Gold Coast with six-month-old Oliver.

The family lived it up in luxury, staying at the exclusive JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa in an executive suite which costs upwards of $1,300 per night.

Their room features stunning ocean views, a chic grey and blue ultra-modern design, a king bed, marble bathrooms and a spa bathtub.

The five-star resort has just been refurbished courtesy of a $35million renovation.

It boasts a gym, tennis court, pool and several lagoons - perfect for holidaymakers wanting to lap up the sun and warm weather.

Jules shared a series of sweet selfies with son Oliver last week as they relaxed in a cabana by the pool.

'Say holidayssssss,' the mother of one captioned the post.
