MAFS 2025 Beth Teejay interview

The latest Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 Dinner Party was hard to watch, with Teejay Halkias coming under fire for leading Beth Kelly on. He’d slept with her, then told his friends that he’d end their relationship at Homestays if he had to make a choice. 

Beth tells Chattr that she was “blindsided” by Teejay’s actions, which left her “choking back tears”. We’ve all been there, girl!

“I really came in with genuine intentions of leaving with a partner. And so yeah, there were a lot of tears shed,” she says. “I was so blindsided, because the days leading up to Homestays were great. We spent some quality time together,  we went on a date, he slept with me again.

“And then, bang, we’re in Brisbane and he’s telling me in front of his friends… that he doesn’t see this progressing or going anywhere. And so to me, I was just so hurt.”

Beth adds that she was “embarrassed” that she’d misread the situation and feels “a bit led on.”

She believes that Teejay was never really into her, and she missed some red flags along the way, because she liked him so much.

“I do feel a bit stupid… there were a few kind of gut feelings that [meant he] wasn’t into me. But I think sometimes when we’re dating someone we really like, you kind of want to sweep it under the rug and kind of ignore that,” she says.

“Yeah, I just feel like he completely fucked me over.”

Did Teejay call Beth ‘darling’ at the MAFS Dinner Party in a demeaning way?

Beth tells Chattr that it wasn’t uncommon for Teejay to call her “darling”, but the sheer amount of times he did it during the Dinner Party was excessive. While usually he would call her “darling” a couple of times a day, he said it so much during the meal that the cast even made a drinking game out of it.

“I guess looking at it last night, maybe it was a bit patronising. I mean, Jamie picked up on it straight away, and that’s why they did the drinking game, you know,” Beth says.

“The ‘darling’ came out when he was in the hot seat, and it kind of felt like he wanted to call me ‘darling’ to maybe pull me down a little bit and maybe control the situation a little bit.”

However, Teejay tells Chattr that he uses “darling” and “sweetheart” a lot as part of his everyday vocabulary and it isn’t meant to demean anyone. 

“I didn’t realise how many times I actually said it, I know that there’s probably a few more edited in there, but I definitely said it a few times. I thought it was quite funny, the drinking game that everyone made from it, even the experts getting on it as well,” Teejay says.

“I definitely [equate] the word darling with someone that I care about, even sweetheart, like I wouldn’t say that in a patronising way. That’s just a word I use.”

Guess these two will have to agree to disagree!
