Vicky Gleeson-Stokes Is A Flight Attendant By Profession
Before starting her career, she completed her basic education at Kaeo Primary School.
Then, she went to Kerikeri High School to complete her schooling.
But she knew she couldn’t achieve much by staying in the small town of Kaeo, so she moved back to Auckland to pursue a career in Travel.
In 2008, she started pursuing her career more seriously.
She never revealed the details of where she got trained, but by the time she joined MAFS in 2017, she had already gained six years of experience as a Flight attendant.
Then, in 2022, she briefly tried working as the Client Success Manager at Wealth HQ.
However, after working for 7 long months, she decided to return to the world of travel.
After leaving her job at WealthHQ, she joined Air New Zealand as Q300 flight Attendant in June 2022.
It’s been over 2 years, and she works in the same company.
Vicky Gleeson-Stokes’ Journey In MAFS New Zealand
When the show was called for the first time in New Zealand in 2017, Vicky was really excited to join.
She wanted to leave the fate of her life partner to a social psychology expert like Dr. Pani Farvid and a relationship counselor like Tony Jones.
So, when the casting call advertisement began, she wasted no time and applied.
While talking about her preferences, she said,
Tall, dark and handsome of course. Funny, adventurous and takes care of themselves. Personal hygiene is a must.

Then after appearing in the show she was paired with Andrew Jury. Throughout the season, they had their share of challenges.
However, they worked through it and appeared in the season finale.
But shortly after the show ended, they both grew apart, and their on-screen marriage ended.
After ending the marriage, she found a new partner named Ryan Watson.
Ryan is a freight specialist who met Vicky at a party. His super nice attitude towards everyone impressed Vicky, and by January 2018, they started dating.
While talking about her partner, she said,
He was super-nice to me and I was into him, but my friend told me he’d never dated a white girl before, so I left it at that. Then we ran into each other at a club in January and we just kept hanging out from there. Funnily enough, I’d never dated white boys either – just married one!
