They say the reality TV world is small, and that’s certainly the case for Married At First Sight’s Jade Pywell and Jayden Eynaud, who worked together at the same nightclub years before appearing on the hit TV show.
Jade worked as a waitress and Jayden as security at the popular Gold Coast nightclub Bedroom between the years of 2017 and 2019. And, the two reality stars both have cold hard evidence about their stints at the club on their Instagram account.
Jayden also worked at Sin City nightclub, which, according to Gold Coast Bulletin, is the “sister” club of Bedroom.
Jayden and Jade recognised each other at the weddings
According to Daily Mail Australia, Jayden and Jade recognised each other as soon as they saw each other at the weddings, and producers were hoping it would make a juicy storyline.
“The Gold Coast’s social scene is a tight-knit community, especially within the restaurant and club circuit,” an insider explained.
“Obviously Jayden was one of the first grooms leaked and Jade knew he was on the show. He immediately recognised her too, and producers were living for it.”
However, neither Jade nor Jayden took the producer’s bait, and there were no fireworks between the former co-workers.
“The tension was palpable throughout the evening, with producers fanning the flames, but the expected fireworks ended with a fizzle,” the source said.
“The entire scenario, while charged on the day, lacked the substance needed to make it to air,” they added. “Eden and Jade quickly became friends and there was nothing more to it.”
