The latest episode of Married At First Sight (MAFS) left fans stunned after new groom Tim Gromie made it clear he wasn’t interested in his match, Katie Johnson.
The PE teacher’s lack of enthusiasm was palpable, and things only got more awkward from there.
An Awkward Wedding and Rejection
The wedding between Tim and Katie was cringe-worthy, with an even more uncomfortable photo shoot and reception to follow.
Tim’s clear discomfort around Katie was evident, as he rejected her physical advances, including a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
But what really shocked fans was when Tim questioned the producers about the pairing, admitting he usually goes for “short, petite, blonde or brunette” women and was “shattered” by the match.
Katie’s Heartbreaking Reaction
The episode ended with Katie in tears after Tim told her off-camera that he didn’t feel a “spark” between them. “Last night for me was horrible,” Katie said, breaking down in tears.
“He knocked on my door and wanted to chat, we sat down, and he said ‘There’s no spark, I wasn’t feeling a spark all day’. To be rejected, that’s my worst nightmare, I don’t know what I’ve done wrong.”
Tim’s Sudden Disappearance
In a shocking move, Tim has deleted all his social media accounts and is refusing to do interviews, according to a source.
The insider revealed that Tim is “fearful” the show will affect his employment as a primary school teacher and is trying to “get through it with minimal damage to his career and reputation.”
What’s Next for Tim and Katie?
A second source has warned that Tim won’t come out well in future episodes, especially after the first dinner party. But what do we know about Tim Gromie, the man who’s left Katie heartbroken?
His bio reveals a romantic who’s been “unlucky in love” and is looking for a genuine connection.
After a painful heartbreak in the past, Tim took a year to “work on himself and recover” and is now hoping to find love and start a family.
