Married at First Sight’s Timothy Smith has weighed in on the love triangle between Lauren Dunn, Ellie Dix and Jonathan McCullough, and picked a side.
During an interview on Hit’s Bronte & Lakey for Breakfast, the former MAFS groom said he wanted to defend his “good buddy Jono”.
“I’m going to give a little bit of tea,” he added. “I’ve read all those messages he didn’t delete any of those messages.”
He added that it was common for the MAFS participants who had left the experiment to contact those who were still filming.
“In all respect, he called me, I called Ellie, I called Stephen [Stewart],” Tim explained. “When people go on the show they still want to stay in touch. You went through all this trauma together, and that’s how you bonded so I’m going to defend it a little bit.”
What happened with Ellie, Jono and Lauren?
MAFS couple Lauren and Jonathan made it to the Final Commitment Ceremony, and have had a relatively good relationship. Meanwhile, Ellie was married to Ben Walters on the show got off to a rough start and they left the show during the Commitment Ceremony that aired on March 3rd.
