In news we definitely didn’t expect to be writing today, Married At First Sight UK star Georges Berthonneau has spoken out after being linked to Love Island legend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

Yep, you read that right.

The reality stars were recently romantically linked after they were spotted heading to the gym together in Essex.

According to reports, Georges and Ekin arrived together in his car before heading into the gym separately in an attempt to avoid being seen together.

However, as much as we love a crossover reality TV romance, a spokesperson for Georges has denied that he’s dating Ekin-Su and revealed that he’s in fact loved-up with someone else.

‘I was surprised by the article myself as Georges is happily dating someone not in the public eye,’ a representative for the MAFS UK 2023 groom told heatworld.

They added, ‘He and Ekin are just friends who happened to go to the same gym that day.’

So there you have it, folks.

Although he’s not dating Ekin-Su, Georges is officially off the market and has a mystery girlfriend.

‘I just listened to my heart,’ he told The Sun about his new relationship earlier this year.

‘I met the individual. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but you know, it's just been everything that I've dreamed of.’

Georges was married to Peggy Rose during his time on Married At First Sight last year and, despite a few bumps in the road, they made it all the way to the end and continued dating after the experiment.

However, they split earlier this year and Peggy released a statement which left Georges ‘blindsided’.

Back in September, Peggy exclusively told heat that while things are ‘amicable’ between her and Georges, she ‘doesn’t really want to talk to him’.

‘I was at the MAFS premiere last Tuesday, one of the journalists said that they did an interview with Georges, and he said he would talk to me if he saw me in the street,’ Peggy said.

‘That's fine, but when you've been hurt by somebody, I don't really want to talk to him. There's no bad blood. I'll be amicable, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to message somebody who I've seen was in his apartment with another girl whilst we were together.'
