Married At First Sight star Dean Wells has broken his silence about dating The Bachelor’s Emma Roche. 

Dean sent Australian reality TV fans wild when he posted a shot of himself with his arm protectively around Emma, who’s hand was resting on his. 

Emma Roche was on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor and had her heartbroken after the home town visits when she told Matt she loved him, only not to be reciprocated.

Taking to Instagram Wednesday night, Dean wrote: “If anything good ever came of reality TV it’s meeting this amazing human and sharing a glass of wine.”

However, it seems the pair are ‘just friends’ after Dean wrote back on his former co-stars Melissa Walsh’s comment that congratulated him on his ‘new romance’: “ha thanks Mel. Emma and I are just good friends btw!” 

“Not sure why everyone thinks were dating or whatever. All I said was that its great that I know her. Shes an awesome human!” Dean added.  

Mel later apologised for jumping to conclusions, writing: “Sorry I was also one to jump on the ‘love’ bandwagon!! I had a feeling it might have been a bit hasty lol. Anyhow that’s reality TV for you haha.”

Melissa wasn’t the only former MAFS star to get fooled by the post, many of Dean’s former castmates also wrote their congratulation. 

“Ohhhh yay!!! Congrats lovebirds,” Sarah Roza wrote alongside two love heart emojis.  

“Congratulations champ,” his close friend Jesse Konstantinoff added. 
Then John Robertson weighed in on the snap, writing: “Great to see big Dean.” 
Melissa Lucarelli also commented: “Yessssssss!!!!! So happy for you. Congrats Dean and Emma 💕,” Melissa Lucarelli 
Unfortunately it seems like these two are just friends.
