The Married At First Sight cast are starting to give the Love Island lot a run for their money, with rumours swirling that some of the stars from the latest UK series have recoupled outside the show.
Not only are Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor a fully-fledged (and cute AF) new couple, but Matt’s ex Adrienne Naylor has also sparked romance rumours with Nathanial Valentino being spotted out and about on a number of dinner dates.
Laura Jayne Vaughan, who split from Arthur Poremba at the final vows, is another cast member who has sparked speculation of a new romance after being spotted looking VERY cosy with JJ Slater.
Now, Laura has addressed the rumours and let’s just say she didn’t do a whole lot to put an end to the speculation.
The finance manager turned reality star – who has previously dated Made in Chelsea’s Angus Findlay – spoke about JJ in a recent Instagram Q&A when one of her followers asked, “You know what everyone wants to know… are you and JJ together now?!”
Laura replied with a picture of herself and JJ twinning in matching hats and wrote, “Ok, ok, I can confirm…
“That in this pic, we appear to be physically together. As in. Next to each other 😉🙃.”
Ooh, what a great big tease.
Laura also revealed JJ was the last person from the MAFS cast that she’d been in contact with, so they’ve definitely remained close after the show.
Fans would definitely be here for it if Laura and JJ did decide to couple up as the comments section went wild when Laura and JJ shared a picture of themselves cosying up on a night out earlier this month.
One commented, "They look so good together, friend or more than friends, stay happy!!"
Another added, "Defo should’ve matched you two on MAFS 😍😍😍😍," while a third remarked, "Please tell me you’re together cos you suit sooooo much 😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️."
This wasn't the first time the duo have sparked romance rumours as back in November 2023, JJ and Laura shared a cute AF photo of them enjoying a meal out and naturally, MAFS fans went into a frenzy and were more than happy to voice their thoughts.
Messages such as "Yes to this couple 🙌" and "More than friends 😉😆❤️❤️", as well as "Beautiful couple ❤️" and "You both look so good together though 🙌❤️🔥🔥🔥" were being thrown around left, right and centre.
There is already talk of JJ joining TOWIE; you know how they like to pluck semi-famous Essex lads off the street and throw them into Brentwood, especially after he was seen partying it up with some of the former Essex cast.
But honestly we're not sure we can imagine Laura on TOWIE, she gives us much more Made in Chelsea energy, especially seeing as she literally dated someone who was once on MIC and recently partied with a current cast member.
The MAFS reunion episode is set to air in 2024 and part of us is hoping JJ and Laura will turn up together and announce their engagement or something equally as ridiculous.
It will be, what? Third time's the charm for JJ.
