Married at First Sight’s Ryan Donnelly was seen out and about on Valentine’s Day, but it wasn’t with his TV wife Jacqui Burfoot.
The 36-year-old reality star was spotted at a Sydney bar with a handsome male friend, sparking curiosity among fans.
A Night Out with a Friend
Ryan, who has been making headlines for his fiery pairing with Jacqui on the show, looked casual and relaxed as he enjoyed a night out with his friend.
He wore stone washed blue jeans, a figure-hugging black T, and brown boots, completing his look with a fashionable Caesar haircut and a close-trimmed beard.
His friend, on the other hand, rocked a grey T-shirt, designer stone washed ripped jeans, and black runners.
A Glimpse into Their Night Out
The two men appeared to be having a great time, laughing and smiling as they chatted.
At one point, they were seen walking with their hands outstretched, their fingers almost touching. It’s unclear what the nature of their relationship is, but it’s clear they’re close.
Amidst MAFS Drama
This sighting comes after fan speculation that Ryan and Jacqui might be heading for the exit before the show ends.
The couple has been through a rollercoaster of emotions, with Ryan making headlines for his comments about Jacqui during an intimacy workshop.
He joked that she had “crazy eyes” and made a remark about her being good at a particular sexual act, which repulsed some of the other grooms.
A Troubled Relationship
Jacqui was visibly upset by Ryan’s comments and stormed away from the dinner party. The backlash from fans was swift, with many slamming Ryan’s remarks as “disrespectful” and “degrading.”
Ryan has since apologized, admitting that his comments were “crass and inconsiderate.” Despite this, insiders reveal that the couple’s relationship has been rocky behind the scenes, with plenty of heated clashes.
What’s Next for Ryan and Jacqui?
Only time will tell if Ryan and Jacqui will make it to the end of the show.
The couple was seen putting on a united front as they went shopping at a plant center during filming last year, but it’s unclear if their relationship has survived the drama.
One thing’s for sure – their journey on MAFS has been a wild ride, and fans are eager to see what happens next.
