When was Jessika Power on Married At First Sight?
Jess appeared on the sixth series of Married At First Sight Australia which originally aired Down Under in 2019 and then in the UK in 2021. She was originally paired up with Mick Gould but controversially hooked up with fellow contestant Dan Webb behind his back. When their affair came to light, Jess and Dan remained in the process as a new couple and continued to date after the show finished.
What happened with Jessika Power and Dan Webb?
Jess was brutally dumped by Dan on TV just months after MAFS finished filming when he saw clips of her flirting with fellow contestant Nic Jovanovic. He later confirmed they had split, telling Yahoo Australia, “Me and Jess have split, let’s get that straight. We have broken up. There’s allegations coming out that we’re still together. She’s saying we’re still together. We are not together.”
Jessika later admitted that the split was “the hardest time of my life” and revealed she became addicted to Xanax in the wake of the break-up. She told Metro, “I was already copping hate from the Australian public. I was copping hate from his family, his friends. And then I also had to deal with a break-up, the hurt of a break-up.
“Then when we broke up, I was also getting double hate [from people] saying, 'Sucked in you bitch, you f--king deserve it.' Then the second that we broke up, all these girls came out of the woodwork with, 'Dan did this when you were together, Dan did that'. I was at a really low point, I actually got a really bad Xanax addiction. I was drinking a bottle or two of white wine a day on Xanax. It was really bad."

I remember me and my security guard had to go knock on his hotel door [before our first event together] and he was sunburnt from falling asleep in the sun, and made some flirty comment. I just rolled my eyes and snubbed him.
“He's very charming and it didn't take very long for him to break me down. I had a bit of a fangirl moment. I think he may have been seeing someone back home at the time."
