These days, the drama on Married At First Sight Australia is rarely confined to the show itself. The final vows might only be a week away, but some of the behind the scenes gossip has already found its way onto social media and, as per usual, it involves some husband and wife swapping.
At the start of this season, Jamie Marinos was matched with Dave Hand, and Eliot Donovan married Lauren Hall. Sadly, in both instances, it wasn't meant to be. Both Eliot and Lauren went on to marry other people on the show, for Eliot that person was Veronica Cloherty. However, things didn't end well there either. The couple called it quits during the sixth commitment ceremony, after weeks of strain. Veronica said, ‘He didn’t really give me anything… It was like drawing blood from a stone with Eliot.' Meanwhile, Jamie and Dave split at the final vows, with many fans querying if something was going on between Dave and Veronica.
Talk about love triangles (or squares) now everyone is wondering if there is something happening between Jamie and Eliot. Are they dating? And if not, what are their joint TikToks all about?
Are Jamie and Eliot dating?
Former MAFS Australia cast members Eliot and Jamie have been spotted 'getting cosy' on a number of occasions recently. Last week, they were spotted at a nightclub in Surfers Paradise, a famous theme park.
In one clip doing the rounds on social media, they appear to be partying together before making a heart shape with their hands.
What did Jamie and Eliot's TikTok mean?
Fully aware of the endless speculation about whether they are dating, Jamie and Eliot shared a jokey TikTok where Jamie scrolls through her phone and says, 'There are pictures of us together in Queensland. What the hell?'. To which Eliot responds, 'How would [the media] even know?'.
Eliot then shared another clip where he can be seen laughing with his arm around Jamie with the caption, 'God forbid I don't hate the girl.'
They later staged a skit where their dog used its paw to dial a journalist to reveal their whereabouts and another one where Jamie decides to call Eliot back once he's hit 200k followers on TikTok. Jamie and Eliot might not have confirmed that their romance (yet), but they are definitely enjoying the rumours.
Did Jamie and Eliot share a bed after the reunion party?
Yes, apparently the duo spent the night together in Sydney after Daily Mail Australia's reunion party – something that jumpstarted the romance rumours.
What has Dave said about the romance?
Jamie's former on-screen husband was asked about her new flirtatious friendship on Instagram and simply wrote: 'Honestly, I don't have any thoughts on it. I couldn't give a... I don't care.'
Before unnecessarily adding, 'But I highly doubt she's going to sleep with three cast members from this year's season. [...] I think it's just a TikTok, Instagram thing – whatever they're doing. But good luck honestly. Best wishes.'
Did Eliot and Jamie respond to Dave's comment?
Yes, Eliot and Jamie then shared another date of theirs on social media in response to a fan commenting 'Dave did in fact care'. In their video, Eliot laughed and said, 'We're in this together,' while he wrapped an arm around Jamie's shoulders as they prepared to go on a roller coaster ride.
They have also been pictures at the Ovolo Hotel in Woolloomooloo – so they are definitely a future couple for MAFS fans to have on their radar.
Are Dave and Veronica together?
No, Dave and Veronica are not together. They did seem to build a strong connection during the show, but it never went further than that. Both Dave and Veronica have stated that their connection was platonic and that they were not involved in a romantic relationship.
When does Married At First Sight Australia finish?
This year's Final Vows are aired in the 37th and 38th episode of the season which are set to air on Channel 4 on Monday 5th and Tuesday 7th May. Find out more about the reunion episode here.
