A MARRIED At First Sight star has addressed comments on her “new boyfriend” after her relationship breakdown on the E4 series.
The Walsall lass – who had a picture-perfect wedding with her former spouse at the start of last year’s instalment – took to her comments section after her latest Instagram post sparked a frenzy.

Sacha Jones, 29, broke her silence after posting a series of images to mark her dad’s birthday.
Married At First Sight viewers will be familiar with her West Midlands-based parents Bryn and Alison, as they gave their take on her marriage to Ross McCarthy, 32, during the series.
Yet while E4 fans will recognise the duo on the snaps, a mystery male is seen at the dining table at Willow, in Sutton Coldfield, too.
One fan – who saw Sacha break down on-screen after her renewal vows with Ross, before the dad of one dumped her – put two and two together to link the blonde influencer with the male diner.
The fan told Sacha, whose relationship breakdown with Manchester-based Ross came two weeks after filming wrapped: “Aw glad you found love x”
Sacha – who has turned to Christianity following her failed MAFS experience – then replied: “Took me a good while to work out what you was on about.
“You mean my little brother? Haha. Only man in my life that isn’t family is still only Jesus currently hahahaa x”
After Sacha had set the record straight, another fan posted: “Happy Birthday Papa Sacha.”
A second gushed: “Aww your parents are so sweet x”
Sacha then took to her caption to write: “Dad birthday photo dump.
“Thank you for the most wonderful evening @willowrestaurants food, service, drinks, decor, presentation, EVERYTHING is on point here.”
Yet fans can be forgiven for the misunderstanding, particularly as Sacha had joked she had married again back in January.
Yet all was not as it seemed, with the aesthetics practitioner stating she had: “Married our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”
Flashing a silver band, she added: “Now guys this is a purity ring and I just wanted to explain that to you.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
“A purity ring just represents your commitment to God and vowing to stay abstinent until marriage.
“They’re on your hand as a reminder of your vow to God if you ever get tempted.”
On MAFS UK, Sacha became famous for her abstinence, as she told Ross she wasn’t planning to be intimate with him until their relationship was well established.
UNHAPPY ENDING
Sacha married Ross at the start of MAFS’ 2024 series when sparks flew and everything seemed perfect between the pair.
The couple then went from strength to strength in their marriage, with them dubbed as one of the strongest couples early on in the series.
But not everything progressed as well as it could for the couple when cracks began to show and Ross’ temper began to flare.
Sacha was keen to move to Manchester to be with Ross, with her even open to leaving her life in Birmingham behind.
Despite their vow renewal ceremony ending in married bliss, it has been revealed that the couple split two weeks after filming wrapped.
A source at the time told MailOnline: “Sacha had an incredible experience filming Married At First Sight UK and she truly thought her marriage with Ross would work.
“She moved to Manchester to be with him but after just two weeks he went cold and ended their romance for good.”
And it seems that Ross dumped Sacha to move on with a new flame, whom he met earlier this year.
Ross, who was the first deaf contestant on MAFS UK, and his new girl Magdalena started dating as early as June last year, it is believed.
In February, The Sun was first to report how Ross and beautician Magdalena had split – with him wiping all trace of her from social media.
