Married at First Sight’s Lauren Dunn is clearly close with Sara Mesa, which has MAFS fans wondering whether she knew that her pal “cheated” on Tim Calwell.
Lauren has admitted that she knew that Sara decided to meet up with her ex for drinks behind Tim’s back, and she decided to keep quiet on the subject. However, Lauren stressed that Sara didn’t hook up with him at the event.
“I did know about Sara meeting up with the ex, Eden [Harper] knew, I knew that nothing happened and it was honestly a non-issue,” she told Daily Mail Australia.
“However, I can say in hindsight that it was very hurtful to Tim to find out the way he found out, because lying about something makes someone feel like there’s something to hide,” she added.
Did Lauren confront Sara about her plans to meet up with her ex?
Lauren had absolutely no problem calling out Jack Dunkley’s questionable morals for having a girlfriend while interviewing for the show, so viewers were surprised to see that she didn’t have the same fury towards Sara.
The WA bride said that she did confront Sara about the secret meet-up in private, but didn’t think anything suss was going down.
“I did say to Sara you should just tell him who cares? And her concern was that he’d been cheated on in the past and it would make him think that something was going on that wasn’t,” she explained.
“So I can see both sides, but obviously seeing how hurt Tim was on the screen was hard to watch.”
Is Lauren still friends with Eden after she outed Lauren?
At the beginning of MAFS 2024, Lauren, Sara, Eden and Tori Adams appeared to be thick as thieves. However, Tori has since sided with Jack and separated herself from the group, while post-filming Instagram posts show just Lauren and Sara spending a lot of time together.
Of course, it was Eden and her ‘husband’ Jayden who confronted Sara about the “affair” after Sara confided in her about meeting up with her ex.
However, despite being tight with Sara, Lauren maintains that she’s still friends with Eden.
“Eden and I definitely had a friendship, and we continue to have a friendship,” she told the publication.
“It definitely didn’t ruin the friendship. I was just disappointed with how it was it came out.”
