MAFS' Booka dishes on her split from Brett: "It made me feel ashamed"

She's revealed the REAL reason they called it quits. - by Catie Powers
  • 07 Apr 2021

While Married At First Sight fans were sure Brett and Booka would go the distance, things took a turn for the worst after Booka read that letter from Patrick. That darned letter.

Despite the couple getting into a big dinner party fight, it seemed as though they were able to work past their issues. So why did they really decide to leave? Booka has finally revealed all.

WATCH: MAFS' Booka Nile's song "Beam me up soft/f***boi"

After Mr Holy Moly Guacamole Patrick took things just a bit too far in feedback week, writing a letter to Booka which claimed that she only thinks about herself, the musician confronted Brett about putting ideas in Patrick's head, telling her groom "It sounds like you don't like me, Brett". 

From there, things went spectacularly downhill for the couple and it seemed like there was no coming back. That was until the brides and grooms went on a couples' retreat and Melissa and Bryce's issues made Brett and Booka's look like mere banter.

The once golden couple seemed on their way to repairing things; however, in that last commitment ceremony, they both decided to leave. And now Booka has explained why.

We’re unpacking all the relationship, sex and dating woes of this season’s Married At First Sight stars in our juicy new podcast, Love In Reality. Listen, like and subscribe below!

Toxic Types

Speaking to Nine in an exit interview, Booka explained that, despite the fact the pair rekindled things on the retreat, it really just reinforced the fact that she no longer felt romantic feelings toward Brett. And she hadn't since the letter.

"What ultimately led to Brett and I having to separate was when I found out that Brett had been saying things about me that I found to be really cruel and unfair," Booka said.

"It made me feel ashamed that I'd shared my proudest moments with him."

"When I started to feel embarrassed and upset that I even bothered to share anything, it was never going to recover from that point."

Brett Booka letter MAFS

Things went downhill for Brett and Booka after Booka received a harsh letter from Patrick in feedback week.

Despite being hurt by Brett's actions, the pair left the experiment as amicable as ever and remain friends. Phew, we're glad to hear it.

However, the musician just couldn't help but write a cheeky diss track about the whole debacle in a song called Patrick.

Lyrics include: "Thank you Patrick, for being a dog. Thank you Patrick, for stirring the pot."

And that's not the only MAFS tune Booka has penned, oh no. The mental health charity worker has gone and released a whole album on Spotify.

Despite their differences, Brett and Booka left the experiment amicably.

Some tracks are called: Brett, Songs I wrote for my husband to rap over but he changed his mind lol and Toxic grooms are a mark on our shoe (cough, Bryce, cough).

Well, it seems that even if she hasn't found love from the experiment, Booka has at least been creatively inspired. Hopefully she'll make some cash from her new tunes while she is still searching for the love of her life.
