Married At First Sight is known for dropping bombshell after bombshell after bombshell – and it appears this year’s experiment is on track to be just as scandalous as the previous 10 seasons!
WATCH: Lauren and Jonathan’s MAFS wedding vows
New Idea hears that the drama is about to get dialled up to 100. We’re told that the brides and grooms will soon discover that Lauren is pining after a mystery man – and has no plans to pledge her love for ‘husband’ Jonathan at the final Commitment Ceremony.
In what appears to be a very unfortunate case of bad timing, a well-placed show insider says Lauren, 32, met this mystery man during a holiday to Bali last year, shortly before she was due to start filming Married At First Sight.
Even though Lauren was apparently eager to pursue things with her holiday flame, she decided to honour her commitment to doing MAFS.
“Because Lauren had made it onto the show, she felt that she may as well make a go of things with whoever she was matched with,” says the source.
“She’d apparently told friends that this guy in Bali was ‘perfect’ for her, but she was still very curious to see what type of man the experts would choose for her.”
As viewers know, the experts matched Perth-based Lauren with Jono, a 39-year-old business owner from NSW, who is now reportedly dating MAFS bride Ellie Dix.
Sadly for Lauren and Jono, their time in the experiment has proven to be a rocky one.
Even though the couple admitted that they were intimate on their wedding night, they’ve frequently fought too. And the insider suggests it’s unlikely that things will be improving.
While Lauren has really tried giving things with Jono a red-hot go, we hear she also couldn’t stop thinking about the man she’d met on her holiday. It was like she had one foot in the experiment, and the other in Bali.
According to our show spies, it’s expected that Lauren will come clean about the predicament she’s in – which we are told should play out on screens in upcoming episodes.
Our insider adds; “In the beginning, Jono thought he could win Lauren over – but it seems like he had no chance if she was already hung up on someone on the outside.”
