Married At First Sight star Tracey Jewel has been hit with a court order requiring her to pay her ex-boyfriend Patrick Kedemos over $20,000.
The order, from Perth Magistrates Court, comes after Tracey failed to repay a “business loan” given to her by Mr Kedemos in 2018, News.com.au reports.
Tracey has since moved on with boyfriend Nathan Constable.

The troubled MAFS bride was also hit with an additional charge of six percent interest plus legal fees on top of the $20,000 lump sum.
Mr Kedemos, an investment banker, described the judgement as “a moral victory”, Perth Now reports.
Tracey was in a relationship with Mr Kedemos until July 2018 when their romance ended during a highly publicised holiday to Berlin.
In emails to Mr Kedemos’ lawyer earlier this year, Tracey offered to repay the loan via payment plan of $250 a month, claiming she was unfit to work due to “ongoing mental health problems” and was being supported by her retired parents.
“If Patrick won’t accept a payment plan then I have no choice but to file bankruptcy…does Patrick understand if I do that he won’t be paid at all,” the 36-year-old wrote in a letter to her ex’s lawyer.
Mr Kedemos, 45, rejected the offer on March 26.
Since May 29, Tracey has been holidaying across the US and Canada with current squeeze Nathan and claims she is unable to contest the court order from the States.
The controversial star has been hit with criticism for sharing multiple social media photos of their lavish trip which has so far included dinner at a Michelin star restaurant in New York, evenings at upscale cocktail bars and a trip to the Disney World Resort in Florida.
In the caption for a selfie taken at Hollywood Studios on Saturday, the embattled reality TV star wrote: “Hands down the holiday of my dreams.”
“If he [Patrick] wanted his money back, he had plenty of opportunities to do so,” Tracey told Daily Mail Australia in an exclusive interview.
“This is a motive of resentment and bitterness, due to the fact of the timing while I’m away with my current partner Nathan.”
