Married At First Sight star Michael Brunelli<\/a> has clapped back at a troll after the rage baiter said his three-year-old son ‘looked like a little girl.’<\/p>\n

The father-of-two shot back with a gallery of doctored images that brutally mocked the keyboard warrior’s insensitive remark.<\/p>\n

Michael, 35, shared a screenshot of the nasty comment with a photo of his boy,\u00a0Lucius, on his Instagram over the weekend.<\/p>\n

In the cute snap, the father-of-two can be seen cuddling his son, who wears a colourful top and sports extra-long hair.<\/p>\n

‘No disrespect, but your son looks like a little girl,’ wrote the troll, who uses the name Julzz.<\/p>\n

‘The long hair and the clothes you dress him. Need to start making him look like a little boy,’ they continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The father-of-two shot back with a gallery of doctored images that brutally mocked the keyboard warrior’s insensitive remark, telling the troll he would offer up some hairstyle options. Pictured: Michael’s son Lucius modelling a dreadlock haircut<\/p>\n

Michael, who met Martha Kalifatidis on season 6 of MAFS in 2019, responded: ‘Been thinking about this comment today…<\/p>\n

‘And I figured, since Julzz (and some others) are so concerned with a three-year-old’s hair…I’d give them some options.’<\/p>\n

He followed this with a set of tiles showing Lucius modelling a series of different hairstyles, including dreadlocks, a mullet, a buzz cut and frosted tips.<\/p>\n

The fan favourite also shared an image of his boy showing off a ‘broccoli’ perm, a ‘suave’ cut, and a ‘speed racer’ short cut, with etched lines.<\/p>\n

Michael’s followers responded enthusiastically to his cheeky post.<\/p>\n

‘This is gold !!!! Mullet for sure,’ wrote one, while another added, ‘Dreadlocks. Definitely the dreadlocks.’<\/p>\n

Said a third follower, ‘I love his beautiful hair just the way it is.’<\/p>\n

Influencer Steph Claire Smith responded with a long line of laughing emojis.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Michael and Martha Kalifatidis met on season 6 of MAFS in 2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Michael and Martha, 36, announced in March that they had welcomed their second child, a daughter.<\/p>\n

Alongside sweet images of their newborn, the proud mum shared the little girl’s unique name.<\/p>\n

‘Our girl is here. Sunday Maria Brunelli, two weeks early and completely perfect. We are smitten,’ she wrote.<\/p>\n

Martha had announced her pregnancy in an Instagram post in October.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In her caption, the former reality star, who battled hyperemesis gravidarum \u2013 a severe form of morning sickness \u2013 during her first pregnancy, hinted that she is again unwell.<\/p>\n

It follows a string of candid updates from Michael, who recently shared an emotional video reflecting on the toll parenthood and pressure have taken on both him and Martha.<\/p>\n

The personal trainer revealed that while he loves being a dad, the past two years have been challenging.<\/p>\n

He confessed he’s been stuck in ‘survival mode,’ neglecting his own health while prioritising his role as a father and partner.<\/p>\n

The pair got engaged two years after their TV wedding on Married At First Sight, but have yet\u00a0to tie the knot officially.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Married At First Sight star Michael Brunelli has clapped back at a troll after the rage baiter said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":590834,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,100,134,1202,16995,288599,276891,11252,2017],"class_list":{"0":"post-590833","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-dailymail","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-instagram","13":"tag-married-at-first-sight-australia","14":"tag-martha-kalifatidis","15":"tag-michael-brunelli","16":"tag-reality-tv","17":"tag-tvshowbiz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590833","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590833"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590833\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/590834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
