Andrea and Richard’s love story began when they first locked eyes at the MAFS altar. With both the bride and groom – as well as their children – delighted at the match-up, things looked hopeful for the pair to remain together.
However, things are now looking a little dicey for those who were hoping for a love story for the ages with Richard and Andrea!
The good
The two lovebirds were papped out and about in Sydney on Friday, February 9th on a cute coffee date.
Instagram account MAFSGossip shared the pic, and their source had a thing or two to say about the date as well.
“They both looked so good in person – better than on the TV. Some people took selfies with them and I got Richard smiling at me when they were leaving I said hi and I love them on the show,” the insider said.
The bad
Andrea’s friend has spoken out and said that she thinks Andrea deserves to be treated better by Richard.
The friend said that while Andrea tried to put a lot of effort into the relationship, Richard was more interested in the physical aspects of their union.
“She wanted a break from all the sex to build a meaningful relationship. She tried to be intimate in other ways to make it up to him,” the friend said.
“He told her she wasn’t trying when she did two days of other intimacy activities with him like melting hugs, printing out a bunch of romantic photos of them together for him to keep, snuggles on the couch etc – but because he wasn’t getting sex he accused her of not trying in the relationship.”
The friend’s information backs a report by Yahoo Lifestyle Australia in which an anonymous source said that Richard and Andrea ultimately didn’t make it as a couple in the long run.
“They’re no longer a couple,” they said, adding that the pair haven’t “really kept in touch” post-filming the show.
However, the source is anonymous and there’s not too much information about their supposed split, so take from that what you will!
That being said Andrea doesn’t follow Richard’s non-MAFS account that he uses for his motivational speaking work, but he does follow her… which sounds messy.
So…. things aren’t looking great for the couple.
Allesandra Rampolla teased that they would face some “conflict”
Ahead of MAFS 2024, the show’s sexologist Allesandra Rampolla gave a little teaser which is surely referring to Richard and Andrea.
She said that adding an older couple to the show changed the dynamic.
“Watching them go through the experience is really interesting,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia.
“Being able to see an older, more mature couple perhaps handle conflict differently in ways that may be helpful to others, and having an older couple learn from younger generations and how they view relationships can be very positive and useful. It’s a fresh perspective into relationship dynamics.”
