She may be, for now, all loved-up on screen with her Married At First Sight husband Ryan, but controversial bride Jacqui has already moved on in real life … with Lauren’s MAFS ex-husband’ Clint!
Jacqui and Clint were first spotted together at the Launceston Cup in late February. The public sighting seemingly confirmed the widespread reports that the pair were living together in Launceston, Tasmania where Clint has a home.
And now, the duo has officially confirmed they are dating in a series of photographs obtained by our sister publication Woman’s Day.
In the images, the couple are seen enoying a coffee date, looking loved up and without a care in the world before embarking on local bushwalk together.
Clint, 44, wasn’t shy in his affection, sharing a cuddle and a kiss with Jacqui, 29 while on their walk.
In February, Jacqui went rogue on social media and confirmed she was no longer with Ryan.
“I’m currently in a relationship with a person who was exactly what I asked for,” she wrote at the time.
“Someone kind, considerate [and] a great man.”
Jacqui added: “Sometimes miracles happen because today I am happy and in a loving and long-term relationship.”
“I’m an 11/10 for life happiness and satisfaction. I feel like I’m living my dream life and I’m so happy to be with someone that is genuine, down to earth and loves the outdoors like me.”
While she didn’t name Clint, 43, specifically, all the evidence pointed to him being ‘The One’ – and now we know for sure that she was talking about him!
Jacqui, 29, exclusively told New Idea in early December, as filming on MAFS concluded, that she was leaving behind her life in Sydney to move south. That same month, she shared photos on Instagram that appeared to show her inside Clint’s luxury pad in the town of Riverside, and hanging out with his dogs.
It is understood that she permanently relocated to Launcestion in early February this year.
While on-air Clint has ended his ‘marriage’ to returnee bride Lauren, Jacqui and Ryan’s turbulent relationship is still unfolding on-screen.
Jacqui previously told New Idea that she was a “spontaneous romantic with a massive heart” who wasn’t afraid to follow her instincts when it came to love.
“When I fall in love, I’m all in,” she shared with us.
“I once flew all the way to New York to be with a guy I’d only known for three weeks. That’s just me. I love easily and follow my heart, no matter where it leads.”
This time it seems, rather than the Big Apple, Jacqui followed her heart to the Apple Isle!
“They are actually very well suited,” a source shared with New Idea when the news of this MAFS couple swap first broke.
“I can see this relationship between them going the distance,” they added.
