Dave Hand was one of the first participants from this season of Married At First Sight (MAFS) to figure out how to get his social media back, and he treated fans last night to a cheeky little Instagram AMA.
While his ex Jamie Marinos recently revealed most participants don’t get their social media back until May, when the show stops airing in the UK, Dave popped up on his socials recently, keeping coy as to how he got back into his Instagram account.
While he hasn’t spilt much tea, he alluded to the fact he may have more to say about his time on MAFS at a later date, saying for now he’s trying to “stay in [his] lane” and live his life.
MAFS’ Dave spills on his currently relationship status after breakup with Jamie Marinos
When one fan asked if Dave was dating again and what he’s looking for, Dave confirmed he’s currently single.
“I think coming out of whatever the hell that was, [it] is going to take me a while to be ready for anything,” he said.
“I just want someone kind and gentle and fun. The strongest bond you can have is mutual respect, and to build each other up. Someone goofy and funny, and just chill, man,” he finished.
After having an up-and-down run on the show, where he started out as one of the most beloved grooms before people turned on him and accused him of betraying Jamie with his partner swap Veronica Cloherty, on top of dealing with the fact his father was going through chemo, Dave assured fans that he’s now doing OK.
“I’m doing fine, there’s a lot of outside noise from everywhere, I’m trying to stay in my lane and live my life, it’s all over and done with in my books,” he said.
“You don’t really know what it is until you get there and thrown in the deep end and you’re talking about your feelings every day. It’s a lot of pressure, but I loved it, I had a lot more good times than bad times, but the bad times were very stressful.”
MAFS’ Dave unfollows various cast mates, including Jamie Marinos
If you were hopeful of a reconciliation between Dave and Jamie, then we’ve got bad news. Since getting his Instagram account back, Dave has quietly unfollowed a few former MAFS co-stars, including Jamie.
Dave is also not following Eliot Donovan, Adrian Araouzou, Veronica, Sierah Swepstone, and Lauren Hall.
Even though he and Veronica were on friendly terms at the reunion, Veronica appears to have unfollowed everyone minus Carina Mirable on Instagram.
When asked by a fan if Veronica still talked to “any of the guys from MAFS” Veronica replied, “no the only man in my life is my dad”.
