Tori and Jack were the most controversial MAFS 2024 couple, so are they still together?

by Anita Anabel and Danica Baker

The Married at First Sight experts have done it again, matching possibly the most toxic couple since Harrison Boon and Bronte Schofield — Jack Dunkley and Tori Adams.

So with such a problematic pairing, are they still together?

Jack and Tori’s pairing

Jack, 34, a personal trainer from the Gold Coast, is a self-titled “alpha”, who likes to “control the situation”, hoping to be paired with someone who “challenges” him.

Lucky for him (or unlucky it may seem), John Aiken, Alessandra Rampolla and Mel Schilling chose the strong and independent, Tori, 27, a business development owner from Victoria who was raised by an equally strong and independent single mother!

With red flags galore, Jack was determined to be the dominant force in the relationship and while Tori

Coupled with the fact that he gives off a certain Harrison 2.0 je ne sais quoi and that he didn’t feel a spark with his new wife, we were sure this relo was destined for the bin!

Jack and Tori are still together

PLOT TWIST! They’re absolutely still together!!

As all of us avid MAFS fans know, Tori and Jack decided to commit to one another at Final Vows and left the ceremony in a relationship.

Since then, Tori’s moved in with Jack on the Gold Coast, which they revealed in an interview with Pedestrian.TV.

“Part of my backstory was the fact that I never told a woman in my life that I’ve loved her apart from my dad and my mother,” he told the publication.

“Tori has moved in with me. We’ve lived together for maybe three to four weeks now and we’re very happy. I’m very much falling in love with her and we’re creating a very nice lifestyle together.

“Our lives are very in sync and we’re living very humbly, happily and I can definitely see love on the cards in the future.”

Prior to Final Vows, Jack and Tori were dropping signs left, right and centre that they’re absolutely, totally, 100% an item.

Most recently, Tori and Jack were spotted out and about in Queensland with a bunch of other former MAFS villains.

The gang was out for Bryce Ruthven’s birthday, who was on MAFS 2021 and married Melissa Rawson, and he shared a photo with Tori and Jack.

Furthermore, Daily Mail Australia published more pics from the day, and Tori and Jack can be seen holding hands and kissing in the photos.

On top of that, Tori took to a private Instagram account on February 14th to share a photo of her holding some flowers, and the note referred to her as “wife”. So, unless Tori got married to a rando between when filming and now, it’s safe to say that the bunch she’s holding is from Jack.

According to the super sleuths at the Daily Mail, the couple celebrated Christmas together with Tori’s family in Melbourne. In fact, before the annual MAFS participant’s Instagram ban, she shared pics of the couple looking loved-up!

The website also reported that despite their doomed exterior, they have been going from “strength to strength!” hopping on a plane to see each other… Which is wild. Crazy. Insane… but also, good for them? We guess…

You can see all of their pics here.

Proof that MAFS golden couple Eden and Jayden are still together

by Danica Baker

Eden Harper and Jayden Eynaud have undoubtedly been one of the strongest couples on MAFS 2024, so do they make it as a couple in the real world?

Well, early on in the season, Jayden’s brother Mitch Eynaud may have just given away the ending for their love story.

In October 2023, he shared a photo of himself on a couch cuddled up with a golden retriever. Not only does the dog look identical to Eden’s dog Cub, but guess what Mitch originally called the dog in the caption? Yup, Cub.

The original Instagram post.

Perhaps realising that the post was a dead giveaway, Mitch has since edited the caption to read, “What a guy! ❤️”.

Suss… Very suss.

The edited Instagram post.

Eden and Jayden’s Final Vows

Eden and Jayden agreed to stay together at Final Vows, which came as a surprise to absolutely no one.

“You’re an amazing woman who deserves a true gentleman to stand beside you,” Jayden told Eden.

“Eden, the feeling I have for you I’ve never felt in my life, there is nobody else I want to be with,” he added. “I truly love you with all of my heart.”

Final Vows. Nine.

Eden’s Dog Cub

Eden has spoken about her dog Cub a lot on MAFS 2024, and has said that he helped her get through her breakup with her ex, who cheated on her with her best friend.

The 28-year-old also regularly shares photo on her Instagram with Cub, who clearly looks a lot like the dog that Jayden’s brother, and former MAFS 2024 groom Mitch is posing with.

Eden and Jayden’s pairing

Eden and Jayden were both delighted with the MAFS expert’s pairing. The couple have gone from strength to strength on their honeymoon in Airlie Beach, Queensland.

Eden asked the experts to “match her with someone ambitious, generous and loyal.”

Jayden told the experts that he’s misunderstood and “often labelled a bad F boy”. He said that there is more to him than meets the eye.

Jayden said that while he gets a lot of attention from women, it’s “never the right kind of attention”.

How much time did they have for drama? Here’s when the MAFS Reunion 2024 was filmed

by Danica Baker

The Married At First Sight 2024 reunion fills in the gaps between what happened at Final Vows, and how the participants fared afterwards.

While a reunion almost definitely has a gap in time between the show’s finale, many fans are wondering just how long that stretch of time was on MAFS 2024.

Ash, Ellie, Jono and Lucinda at the MAFS Reunion Dinner Party. Nine.

When was the MAFS Reunion filmed?

Daily Mail Australia published leaked photos of the contestants arriving in Sydney for the reunion show which were taken in November 2023.

The publication also published photos of the contestants on the way to their Final Vows, which were snapped in October 2023.

So, the couples – and singles – had about a month free in the real world, before they came together to spill the tea at the MAFS Reunion Dinner Party and the Reunion Finale.

So, given the batch of participants in the experiment this year, you can definitely expect that some d-r-a-m-a went down during those four weeks.

Where was the MAFS reunion filmed?

The 2024 MAFS reunion will come in two parts; the Reunion Dinner Party and the Reunion Finale.

The Reunion Dinner Party was filmed at The Grounds Alexandria in Sydney. The Grounds is a gorgeous event space and cafe that’s filled with flowers, gardens and beautiful architecture, as well as some absolutely delicious food.

“I adore him”: MAFS’ Andrea breaks her silence over her mystery sleepover video with Timothy

by Danica Baker

In what may be the biggest twist in an already wild season of Married at First Sight, Andrea Thompson and Timothy Smith shared a video of them having a night in together with her daughter.

Yup, that Andrea who was paired with Richard Sauerman and that Timothy who was matched with Lucinda Light by the MAFS experts.

The video, which was taken by Andrea and shared by the Instagram account MAFSGossip, shows the Married At First Sight bride sitting on the couch alongside her daughter.

“We’re watching Jack and Tori’s final vows, Indi and I,” she begins, before panning the camera to Timothy asleep on the couch.

“With Timmy,” she added. “And, he’s so into it he’s fallen asleep. He’s that bored.”

Andrea on MAFS

What did Andrea say about the video?

Fans naturally grew suspicious that Andrea and Timothy had sparked up a relationship outside of the MAFS experiment.

However, Andrea has told New Idea that she and Timothy are just “beautiful friends”.

“There’s nothing romantic there,” she said.

“I adore him, and he adores me. He’s been a rock to me at times,” Andrea added.

Are Timothy and Andrea dating?

Well, all we have to go on at the moment is the video of Timothy and Andrea hanging out. In a house together. At night time.

HOWEVER, a friend of Andrea’s recently opened up about the reality star’s love life and hinted that she’s dating someone new who fans of the show would recognise.

“This man calls and texts her almost every day, he’s coming to see her this weekend they’re having a secret little catch-up and have planned to stay together for a few days and then in a week or two she’s going to go and see him again!!!”

Plus, the pal indulged that “readers would be familiar with this person.”

Could it be Timothy that the friend is referring to!?

Timothy on MAFS. Nine.

What else do we know about Andrea’s new man?

In March 2024, Andrea told Daily Mail Australia that she was back on the dating scene, but played coy about her current relationship status.

“Yes, I’m definitely dating again,” she told the publication. “I just wish someone would ask me out, and I have to tell you if this guy shows up with a scarf on, I’m running to the hills,’ she joked, referring to Richard’s fondness for donning the neck accessory.

It’s time to get to know the three new MasterChef Australia 2024 judges

by Danica Baker

The MasterChef Australia 2024 judging panel has had a shake-up, with three new judges, Poh Ling Yeow, Jean-Christophe Novelli and Sofia Levin, joining Andy Allen.

The new judges have very big shoes to fill, taking over from the late Jock Zonfrillo and Melissa Leong.

It’s only the second time in the show’s history that there’ll be four faces on the judging panel – the first was back in 2011 when Matt Moran joined returning judges George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston.

Find out more about the food experts who’ll be judging the contestant’s dishes on MasterChef Australia 2024.

Poh Ling Yeow

Like Allen, Ling Yeow is a former MasterChef Australia contestant. She narrowly missed out on the show’s first title, coming in runner-up to Julie Goodwin in season one.

The Malaysian-born cook went on to launch a career in the media and has hosted multiple cooking shows including ABC’s Poh’s Kitchen and SBS’s Poh & Co.

She returned as a contestant on MasterChef Australia season 12 and has made multiple appearances on the franchise as a mentor and guest judge.

“Talk about a thrilling, full-circle moment. MasterChef Australia is where my food story began, so this feels like coming home,” she said.

“A big part of me will always be standing on the other side with the contestants and I hope when they look to me, they see proof you don’t have to win to win.”

Jean-Christophe Novelli

Novelli is a lauded French chef, author, and restaurateur who has been awarded four Michelin Stars. He is the owner of a chain of Novelli restaurants in London as well as one of the world’s top cookery schools.

It’s not Novelli’s first foray into reality TV either, he’s appeared in multiple episodes of the hugely popular Gordon Ramsay-led series Hell’s Kitchen. He also hosted a Bravo show called Chef Academy in 2009.

“Fostering culinary talent is something I have cared about for many years, and it is a passion I am excited to share in the MasterChef Kitchen,” he said.

“Australian cuisine has a remarkable reputation on the world stage, and it will be a great privilege to meet and mentor the country’s top home cooks on their journeys to greatness.”

Sofia Levin

Levin is somewhat filling Leong’s shoes as the food journalist on the panel. She runs a food and travel website called The Seasoned Traveller and spearheaded the recent #EatCuriously movement.

“The first season of MasterChef Australia aired the same year I started writing about food,” she said.

“By the time I graduated from journalism, I was sharing lesser-known food stories, while the show was exposing the nation to cuisines and cultures they had never considered before. Becoming a judge on MasterChef feels like two parallel paths converging, and I am giddy with excitement at the people I get to stand beside.”

Andy Allen

Andy Allen

Allen began his MasterChef Australia journey back in 2012 when he won the popular cooking show. In 2012 he, Zonfrillo and Leong took the judging reigns from OGs Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston.

“MasterChef Australia has been part of my life for over a decade. It gave me a pathway into the industry and led me to a career that I’m forever grateful for. After an extremely difficult year in 2023, and upon reflection, the decision to return to the series is not one I took lightly,” he said.

“But there is something special in the MasterChef Australia Kitchen, and it feels right to come back to work with the amazing production team, and to play my role in seeing the contestants do as I have done.

“2024 will be the start of a new chapter, and it will be surreal – yet brilliant – to share this moment with my fellow judges, Poh, Sofia and Jean-Christophe.”

MasterChef Australia season 16 airs in 2024 on 10 and 10Play.

Could we see our fave participants return? MAFS producers weigh in on potential All-Star season

by Anita Anabel

It’s a rumour that’s been buzzing around for years and now the Producers of Married at First Sight have revealed whether an All-Star or Celebrity season is on the cards.

While we’d love to see some of our faves from seasons past meet each other at the altar, Director of Content at Endemol Shine Tara McWilliams said: “Never say never!”

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Tara admitted that the idea had “never been on their radar” while Nine Executive Producer John Walsh said no one would “believe” it.

“I don’t think anyone would believe it, you know, I think it’s the reason we wouldn’t have it,” he said.

Sara on MAFS
Sara Mesa on Married at First Sight, Nine

For Head of Content, Production and Development at Nine Adrian Swift, who spoke at a recent Screen Forever conference, his team has “talked about” a potential spin-off.

“I guess one of the things you’ve got to be really careful of in commercial television is if you have a goose that lays the golden egg, can I have two geese that lay the golden eggs?,” he said.

“You probably will end up with a goose cut in half and a dead goose that doesn’t lay anything.”

MAFS 2024: Are Ridge and Jade still together?

by Danica Baker

Ridge Barredo and Jade Pywell’s pairing on MAFS was initially questionable at the ceremony. This was largely because Jade made it clear that she wanted someone mature, while Ridge and his friends overused the phrase ‘DEEECE’.

However, viewers’ scepticism quickly fell to the wayside as Jade and Ridge bonded at the wedding reception and seemed smitten with one another.

But, while they had a promising start, are they still together now?

Ridge and Jack. MAFS, Nine

Ridge and Jade’s pairing

Ridge is a busy man! He’s competed twice in the Commonwealth Games in weightlifting, juggles an intense fitness regime and works as a Psychiatric Nurse.

Before MAFS, he’s never been into settling down but feels that he’s ready to find the right woman now.

According to his 9Now bio, he is drawn to women with “tidy rigs” who do not take themselves too seriously.

Meanwhile, Jade has had a serious relationship with a man she shares a baby with. However, shortly after her daughter’s birth, she found out that her baby daddy was cheating on her with her best friend.

According to her 9Now bio, Jade’s “walls are up” because of the betrayal, but “underneath her tough exterior is someone who falls hard and fast when in love and is a true romantic.”

MAFS. Nine.

Are Ridge and Jade still together?

It looks like the MAFS experts have clocked another successful love story with their pairing of Ridge and Jade!

The cute couple have confessed their love at Final Vows, and they’re still going strong months after filming wrapped.

Ridge took to Instagram with an update on their relationship post-show.

“Made it out of the experiment with the old girl. Excited to do life with you on the outside,” he wrote alongside a cute selfie of himself and Jade.

In March 2024, a source revealed to us that Ridge was releasing a clothing brand. They dished that Jade was very supportive of the move and shared a photo of her wearing his merch.

Around the same time, Ridge and Jade got candid in an interview with New Idea, and said that they are hoping to have kids together in the near future.

Ridge and Jade on MAFS. Nine.

Prior to Final Vows, there were been multiple clues that the couple were still going strong.

Ridge appeared on Hit’s Bronte & Lakey for Breakfast in March 2024, and the hosts told him that they’d seen Jade out with another man in Queensland.

 “I am 99.9% sure I saw Jade, two Wednesday nights ago at a high-class establishment, with an older-looking gentleman,” Lakey said.

Ridge replied: “Where was it? First I’ve heard of it, but I’m pretty confident with what Jade and I have.”

And… there you have it folks!

Ridge and Jade on MAFS.

One of the other telling signs that Ridge and Jade are together was a leaked photo posted by Jade herself in April 2024.

Turns out, Jade had a temporary Instagram account where she shares photos while she’s unable to use her own account because of the show’s social media rules. See for yourself!

Furthermore, Jade posted an absolutely MASSIVE spoiler on the account. In her stories, she shared a close-up photo of a man lying on the bed with a tattoo that reads “Jade”.

Upon close inspection, the other tattoos on the man’s back match Ridge’s! Which means that the couple are almost definitely still together.

Yahoo Lifestyle Australia published a photo from New Year’s Eve showing Ridge leaning in to kiss Jade. Plus, they both follow each other on Instagram!

We must admit, they’re beginning to look like one of the most sane couples in the experiment, so this is GREAT news!!

The Bravoverse has imploded after a current Below Deck star was spotted on Vanderpump Rules

by Danica Baker

Dylan Pierre De Villiers is a busy man – not only has he officially joined the Below Deck crew, but he’s also made a debut on Vanderpump Rules.

Yup, some eagle-eyed fans have spotted Dylan hanging out with VPR star Katie Maloney at SUR on season 11 of the popular reality TV show. His inclusion aired just one day after his first Below Deck episode.

Dylan didn’t actually speak in the episode, nor was he introduced, however, his inclusion in the series hasn’t gone down too well with some Below Deck fans, with some accusing the deckie of being an “actor”.

“I feel like the show and some of Bravo is turning faker and faker,” one person commented on Facebook.

“Bravo keeps it in the family. A few shows stats have crossed over to other shows,” another wrote. A third added: “Clearly he wants to pursue being on TV or he wouldn’t have joined BD”.

However, some fans on Facebook pointed out that Dylan probably met the Vanderpump cast at Bravocon, hence why he was at the bar with Katie.

“He had already filmed Below Deck before Bravocon. So I’m sure they all met there,” they wrote.

Another person added: “I think he’s gonna do amazing on Below Deck and probably hangs out with the other Bravo people like everyone else does. He may be there while he’s off from yachting or something. Either way, I’m excited to see how both shows go.”

Finally! The I’m a Celebrity fam is getting back together and not a moment too soon

by Danica Baker

It’s been a rough ride for exactly one-half of the I’m A Celebrity campmates, who have continuously lost tasks since they were split up into two teams. However, after tonight Team Julia and Team Robert will be no more, and the fam is coming back together.

After hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris announced that Candice Warner, Tristan MacManus, Skye Wheatley and Brittany Hockley would be competing in the Trial, Julia dropped the news.

“A little birdy told me that tomorrow will be Team Julia’s last chance [to win]. The split camp will be – Robert, what’s the opposite of split?” Julia asked.

After Robert unsurely told her it was “Unsplit”, Julia said: “They will be unsplit yes.”

Julia Morris Candice Warner, Stephen K Amos, Skye Wheatley, Frankie Muniz and Robert Irwin. Ten.

Team Robert has repeatedly won challenge after challenge, which has meant that they’ve been scoring deluxe ingredients for dinner each night, while Team Julia has been stuck on rice and beans.

Team Julia made their misery very clear, so much so that Team Robert offered to share their win of a cake with them, despite being told that there would be consequences. However, it was never revealed what those consequences were, after Michelle Bridges and Candice Warner were sticklers for the rules, and told Team Robert not to share their food with them.

Who’s in the teams?

During the April 1st episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here Australia, the contestants were informed that they’d be split into two groups. Everyone over the age of 40 was on Team Julia and everyone under was on Team Robert.

The groups were split as below:

Team Robert

  • Skye Wheatley
  • Frankie Muniz
  • Brittany Hockley
  • Callum Hole
  • Khahn Oong
  • Ellie Cole

Team Julia

  • Candice Warner
  • Michelle Bridges
  • Tristan MacManus
  • Stephen K Amos
  • Peter Daicos

Fans’ reactions to the teams

Social media comments suggest that fans will be delighted to hear that the camp will no longer be divided after the next episode.

“So depressing to see they lose again not the show that I thought it was going to be,” one person wrote on Twitter after Team Julia lost Wednesday night’s challenge.

“Not sure what they were hoping to achieve with dividing camp into teams…..they must’ve been hoping for some friction & fighting, but I don’t find it entertaining,” another person Tweeted.

However, some people are living for the drama the divide creates.

“Ending the teams so soon is a shame. Brought some super entertaining tension to the group and I (and possibly only I) enjoyed it. Perhaps a different team setup later in the season?” One person wrote.

“It’s a giant party in my head”: The real reason why Below Deck’s Chef Anthony is so disorganised

by Anita Anabel

Below Deck’s Chef Anthony Iracane has struggled to keep up with a high-pressure galley on St David; however, it turns out, there’s a very valid reason for his disorganisation.

Speaking to Chattr during the season 11 run, Chef Anthony admitted he knew his workstation was “a really big mess”.

“I have…ADD, when you can’t be focused,” he said while also adding he has “dyslexia” which was revealed during the April 2 episode.

“Honestly, when you cook with all the passion and love you have inside, you don’t really care about the organisation,” he said. “I just wanted to give really beautiful dishes to guests. That’s what I’m focused on.”

He continued: “In my brain, it’s like a giant party and sometimes that’s why when I’m cooking, I’m not really talking to anyone. I call that, I’m in my little bubble and so I cannot see what’s going on.

“I cannot be focused on cleaning [or] organising the table. I’m just trying to make one of the best dishes for the guests.”

Chef Anthony quickly became a fan-favourite due to his positive attitude and loving nature, made more poignant by the story about the death of his father.

“You know the Disney movie called The Princess and the Frog?,” he asked. “I’m the fu**ing princess. She had a dream with her dad and the dad passed away, and they wanted to open a restaurant. At the end of the movie, she opens a restaurant.

“It’s a long ride and everybody experiences life differently. Every pain is different, so I just try to be a really good person every day and bring happiness through the cuisine because this world is so fu**ed up right now.”

As for the drama on the super yacht, Chef Anthony likes to steer clear — especially not taking sides when it comes to Barbie Pascual and Fraser Olender.

“It’s one crew, one family,” he said, before admitting he doesn’t take sides.

“I said, ‘Guys, we’re on the same fucking boat. Let’s try to be together. Let’s try to be one family.”

Finally, the reality star revealed what we can expect from the rest of their charters.

“More love, more crying, and an amazing season,” he said.

Meet Ellie Cole, I’m a Celebrity Australia 2024’s Paralympic Champion

by Danica Baker

Professional athlete Ellie Cole has taken the I’m A Celebrity Australia jungle by storm with her easygoing nature and relaxed attitude.

Now retired, Ellie competed in the Paralympic games and has won multiple medals in various international competitions.

Find out more about I’m a Celebrity Australia contestant Ellie Cole.

Ellie on I’m A Celebrity Australia. Ten.

Ellie’s back story

Ellie was born on December 12th 1991, and at two years old she was diagnosed with cancer. She had a rare tumour called neurosarcoma that was wrapped around the nerves in her right leg.

She tried chemotherapy to tackle the cancer, but it was unsuccessful and she underwent surgery to amputate her right leg above the knee to stop the cancer from spreading in 1994.

The surgery was successful and her mum enrolled her in swimming as part of her rehabilitation program.

Ellie’s swimming career

Swimming was only originally meant to be Ellie’s rehabilitation, and her instructors expected her to take up to a year to be able to swim in a straight line, but it only took her two weeks.

Because of Ellie’s obvious skill in the sport, she continued swimming and competed in her first competition in 2003, at 12 years old.

Ellie first competed internationally at the 2006 IPC Swimming World Championships and won a silver medal.

In 2010 she won bronze medals in the 100 m Freestyle S9 and 100 m Butterfly S9 events at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi.

She won various competitions after that and was accepted into the 2012 London Paralympics. There, she competed in eight events and won six medals – four of which were gold.

From there, Ellie competed at the 2016 Rio Paralympics, the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, and the 2022 Commonwealth Games, in Birmingham, England. She announced her retirement after the English games.

Ellie’s personal life

Ellie and her partner, Silvia Scognamiglio met at the London 2012 Paralympic Games and have been together ever since. Silvia was an events planner for the games, and Ellie cleaned up at the event with multiple gold medals.

Ellie told her I’m A Celebrity campmates that she didn’t tell her mum about her same-sex relationship until years after she’d gotten together with Silvia.

“I knew that she didn’t approve of same-sex relationships, but it’s not nice hiding a part of yourself from your parents.”

“My mum didn’t find out until we actually bought a house together, like years later.”

Ellie explained that her grandmother was supportive, and her mother eventually came around and now shares a good relationship with the couple.

Ellie and Silvia welcomed a baby boy Felix Parker Cole in February 2024.

“I definitely have regrets”: The Valley’s Brittany Cartwright on what led to her separation from Jax

by Anita Anabel and Danica Baker

Vanderpump Rules alum Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor are two of the Main Characters in the new Hayu series The Valley – and their recently announced separation has made headlines worldwide.

The Valley begins with Jax and Brittany living together in their house in San Fernando Valley, California, with their young son, Cruz Michael Cauchi. The married couple announced their separation in February 2024, just a month before the premiere of The Valley dropped, and well after filming wrapped.

Throughout the season, viewers will watch how the decision to split built up, but during an exclusive interview with Chattr, the 35-year-old explained that their separation was a long time coming.

“I definitely have regrets about things in my life. But I don’t think this show is actually what led me to want to separate from Jax. I think it was just [because of] our every single day and my life before the cameras started, after the cameras started and after the cameras went down. “

Brittany and Jax with their son. Instagram.

“We filmed The Valley a while ago,” she added. “Just because we filmed the show, it did not make me decide to do the things that I’m doing right now.

“Of course, there were a bunch of things [that led to the split] that were involved that I’ve been dealing with for many years in my marriage,” she added.

Brittany moved out of their marital house in January 2024 and has been staying in an Airbnb ever since.

However, despite the hardships Brittany and Jax are facing as a couple, she said that she still cares a lot about him.

“Yeah, me and Jax are going through a hard time right now but still I have so much love for him.”

Brittany didn’t know who Jax was when she met him

Jax was one of the OG cast members of Vanderpump Rules when it premiered way back in 2013. He met Brittany in 2015, and she joined the show until they both exited in 2020, after season eight.

Although Jax has gained quite the name for himself by the time he met Brittany, she revealed that she had no clue who he was.

“I actually didn’t watch the Vanderpump Rules before I started dating Jax,” Brittany admitted. “My mum did and my friend Cara.”

Brittany explained that she met Jax when she was in Las Vegas for her close friend Cara’s birthday.

“Sheena [Shay’s] birthday was right after, so we happened to be in Vegas at the same time. Jax approached me at the bar,” she explained.

The majority of the Vanderpump Rules cast was at Sheena’s birthday, and that was the first time Brittany met them.

“I had no idea who these people were. They were so nice to me, but I had never seen anything,”

“Of course after that night when I first met him, Cara was like. “He’s this, this, this”. And, my mum was like, ‘I know exactly who that is’.”

“I made it a point pretty much to not watch episodes before I came onto the show.”

“We’re creating a very nice lifestyle together”: MAFS’ Jack reveals if he’s in love with Tori

by Danica Baker

It’s been months since filming on Married at First Sight wrapped, and Jack Dunkley has revealed whether he’s said ‘I love you’ to Tori Adams yet.

Tori and Jack faced issue after issue during their time on MAFS but ultimately decided to leave the show in a committed relationship.

“I’d rather jump off the edge and fight for an amazing love-filled future with you than to have never pursued your love at all,” Jack told Tori at Final Vows Part Two.

“Tori, I am absolutely head over heels for you, and I can’t wait to fall in love,” he added.

Considering that the Final Vows are usually filmed around November/December, Tori and Jack have now been together for 5-6 months, so are they in love?

Jack reveals whether he’s in love with Tori

The Final Vows episodes aired over the Easter 2024 weekend, so the couple are finally officially able to speak about whether they’re still together.

Tori and Jack did a joint interview with Pedestrian.TV, and Jack was hit with the million-dollar question of whether he’s fallen in love with Tori.

Much like his responses on MAFS, Jack danced around the question before admitting that he’s not, in fact, in love with Tori… yet. Ouch.

“Part of my backstory was the fact that I never told a woman in my life that I’ve loved her apart from my dad and my mother,” he said.

“Tori has moved in with me. We’ve lived together for maybe three to four weeks now and we’re very happy. I’m very much falling in love with her and we’re creating a very nice lifestyle together.

“Our lives are very in sync and we’re living very humbly, happily and I can definitely see love on the cards in the future.”

Who’s still together from MAFS 2023?

The 2023 MAFS final vows saw Evelyn and Rupert, Lyndall and Cam and Alyssa and Duncan call it a day.

It was only Tahnee and Ollie and Melinda and Layton who pledged their love to one another at the Final Vows and made it out of the show as a couple.

However, while Melinda and Layton stayed together for a year, they split in October 2023. Tahnee and Ollie broke up in December 2023, after 16 months together. Meaning that no couples from MAFS 2023 are still together. Boo!
