Chris Nield had already caused quite a stir on Married At First Sight before he even made it to the altar.
The groom, 31, didn’t shy away from voicing his scepticism about the experts’ judgement, admitting he didn’t see himself finding true love on the show.
He also had a very specific and extensive list of requirements, and was accused of fat-shaming when he said his “turn-offs” were “Fake tan, needy and fat people.”
Now, the controversial groom has finally met his bride, and despite all odds, it appears that sparks could be flying between the pair after some awkward moments.
Chris and Brook Crompton appeared overjoyed when they first met at the altar, with the bride flashing a huge smile.
However, now that their wedding has aired, Brook has shared her honest thoughts about it all, and she did not hold back.
“I had no idea, and to be quite frank, if I had known, that man would have been ripped a new asshole,” she shared with Chattr about watching his comments. “I would have done a full runner. I think my friends also probably would have annihilated him.”
“I think it’s absolutely disgusting.
“I’m lost for words over it, to be honest. You should not be speaking about people like that or women like that in general,” she continued.
“I don’t stand for that behaviour ever, and I would never, ever be with someone who speaks about women like that. And I think it’s not him being insecure; he’s a dangerous human.”
As for why she thinks he was cast on the show? For shock value.
“I think he should not have been allowed on that show,” she stated.
“For the fact that there are young viewers, parents are watching it with their kids. What kind of role model are you showing, that you’re going to be putting someone on there who body-shames women in front of young children as well? I just think it’s just so wrong.”
What happened at Chris and Brook’s wedding?
Chris did not have high expectations for his wedding day.
Refusing to give much away, Chris said to the camera upon seeing his wife, “[She’s] not too bad,” before adding, “Brook’s attractive, what else do you want me to f**king say?”
Chris at first appeared shaken that he was a similar height to her, while Brook commented that he seemed like a “stubborn guy”, but they both said “I do”.
Things hit another hurdle when Brook only let Chris give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, leaving the groom feeling put out.
“I don’t care, I don’t care, I’m not fussed, sooner or later, I’m sure I’ll kiss her, I don’t care about today or tomorrow, it’s going to happen,” he said in a confessional.
“This is an experiment, you’ve got three months, I’m not hanging out for two months to get my first f**king kiss.”
Despite the awkward start, sparks began to fly between the newlyweds at their reception as they got to know each other better and bonded over their similarities, including the value they place on loyalty.
“I think I judged too soon. I’ve gotten to know him, and we do have similar personalities; we do have something there,” Brook confessed.
While Chris conceded, “I, at the moment as it currently stands, am happy with Brook and the decision the experts have made.”
So, could it be true love for the pair? Scroll on to find out.
Are Married At First Sight’s Chris and Brook still together?
Though it seems promising on the show, it appears that their match could be doomed.
It has been alleged that things will take a turn between the couple, with Brook reportedly flying home briefly before rejoining the experiment.
According to the MAFS Funny podcast, Chris will be forced to leave the experiment just days in after something “big” happens off camera.
“Spoiler alert, he’s not going to be on the show for very long, I think two weeks at best,” host Josh Fox claimed.
“There is a big thing that happens. And at one point, she was like, ‘Nope, see ya’. And yeah, [she] flew home, but then she came back.”
He alleged that a “big thing that happened off camera, that basically changed everything, and he was made to leave within 48 hours of that thing happening”.
