Well, well, well, wasn't last year's series of MAFS quite the spectacle? During Married At First Sight 2023 we had Georges Berthonneau and Peggy Rose's turbulent relationship, viewers watched Rozz Darlington and Thomas Kriaras' romance come to an end and then we had Ella Morgan and Nathanial Valentino truly being the gift that kept on giving.
From their 'YOU'RE A STRIPPER' row on their honeymoon, to their relationship coming to an end during an explosive dinner party, they had us hooked.
Fast forward to 2024, and as the new series of MAFS is in full swing with just as much drama as last year's, we take a look what Nathanial is up to now...
When was Nathanial Valentino on Married At First Sight?
Nathanial appeared on MAFS UK in 2023 but before that, he appeared on Geordie Shore: Hot Single Summer in 2021.
What happened with Nathanial Valentino and Ella Morgan?
Goodness, what didn't happen?
The Nathaniel and Ella's love affair started out splendidly but it was all downhill after the wedding day. The honeymoon was a collection of fallouts and rows with their romance coming to an end and Ella coupling up with JJ Slater (who was supposed to be 'married' to Bianca Petronzi, FYI.)
Nathanial and Bianca left the show and Ella and JJ made it to the final episode as a couple but decided they were better off as friends rather than in a relationship.
Why was Nathanial Valentino missing from the final dinner party?
In his own words, Nathanial claims he 'he couldn't imagine anything worse' then coming face to face with his ex.
He revealed the decision during a Q&A on Instagram when a fan asked if they would be seeing Nathaniel at the reunion.
Are Nathanial Valentino and Ella Morgan friends?
In one of the biggest plot twists of 2024, Nathanial revealed that he's now friends with Ella. During an Instagram Q&A he admitted, 'Yes, we have [made amends]. It's been a year since we started the experiment.
'We spoke and opened up, we should have done it sooner! My biggest regret. The show producers got in the way of our relationship and we both made mistakes in and after MAFS but we have grown, and I'm happy to call her my friend.'

He has also appeared on E4's Young Free and Single and The Valley's Lateysha Grace's reality series, Million Dollar Baby, so it's safe to say he knows how to bring the drama to our telly screens.
