MAFS’ Michael declares his love for Stacey amidst cheating scandal

It’s never easy confessing your love for someone for the first time. It’s always wrapped up in nerves, excitement and fear.

The setting needs to be just right which is why, no doubt, Married at First Sight's Michael Goonan decided to declare his love for his 'wife' Stacey Hampton immediately after he’d been exposed as a cheat.
