It's tough out there for a former Married at First Sight star, especially those who don't find The One, and, well, that's most of the cast, let's be honest.
It's not like Love Island where you might land yourself a deal with In The Style or MyProtein and it's not like Made in Chelsea where you can return for several seasons.
The contestants are matched with their 'ideal' partner (playing it real fast and loose with the term 'ideal' there) but more often than not it all comes to a horrendous end, complete with savage dinner parties and brutal walk-outs.
That's why when a MAFS star DOES manage to find love, be it during the social experiment or back in the real world, it's always something to celebrate.
The latest bride to soft launch a new romance is MAFS UK bride Erica Roberts.
The Scottish dancer took part in the 2023 series and was matched with Jordan Gayle where they joined as an 'intruder' couple. Jordan and Erica were caught up in one of the most controversial MAFS moments when Luke Worley tried to push his way into their apartment after an altercation with Jordan; Luke ended up being removed from the social experiment turned TV show along with his then partner, Jay Howard.
Although Erica and Jordan left the reality TV show as a couple they had one hell of a bitter break up complete with SO MUCH passive aggressive shade, a public feud and countless accusations.
Just over a year after they went their separate ways, Erica has take to social media to declare – rather subtly – that she's got a new man and we have so many questions.
Posting some holiday snaps from her trip to Belgium recently, Erica captioned the pics, 'Here for the waffles 🧇.'
At first glance it's an innocent enough post of Erica enjoying a gallery and a a trip to Brussels, but on closer inspection we spy a facial haired chap with a silver watch and a big smile.
We're not the only ones desperate for deets on Erica's new love interest; even her MAFS bestie Adrienne Naylor wrote, 'Soft launches are killing us all 😭😭😭😂😂😂.'
If Adrienne doesn't even have the lowdown on Erica's fancy man, then what hope do the rest of us have?
