After getting married to different people on the hit TV show, “Married At First Sight,” Jonathan McCullough and Ellie Dix confirmed that they’re now dating.
The couple met on the show, where they were paired with Ben Walters and Lauren Dunn.
While the groom denied that there was anything romantic about their interactions, he said that they would be walking into the reunion together.
During the dinner party, the revelation that Jonathan and Ellie are dating didn’t go down well with either Lauren or Ben.
Ellie was quoted as saying that she was “so happy” by the dinner table. It was first confirmed that the couple were dating after they were spotted holding hands while on the beach.
The couple’s actions on the show ruined the series’ ending.
According to a report in Australia, Jono and Ellie continued to be close after she left Ben, which was revealed during a commitment ceremony.
According to the report, Lauren was not aware that Jono was still in touch with Ellie.
She was reportedly gobsmacked by the revelation and felt humiliated. The couple then surprised everyone by showing up at the reunion, where they first revealed their relationship to the group.
After leaving the show, Jono and Ellie reportedly maintained contact. Their romance only escalated after he ended his engagement with Lauren. Their real-life encounter a few days later reportedly showed an “undeniable chemistry.” Recently, the two were seen enjoying a walk on the Gold Coast.
It has also been reported that Ben, who was Ellie’s former spouse, was surprised by the news about her new relationship with Jono. He reportedly felt that something was up with the former couple. A source close to the show claimed that Ben was hurt by the situation because he genuinely cared for Ellie.
According to the producers of the show, the decisions that were made in the experiment were based on the parameters of the game. They added that they do not consider the morality of the show when it comes to making decisions. While Lauren was reportedly hurt by the developments involving Jono and Ellie, she has since stated that she is happy for the pair.
In an interview with Australia’s Daily Mail, Lauren stated that she was happy for Jono and was not in love with him when they were on the show. She also said that she and the other cast members did everything they could to make their relationship work.
