The reality star finds romance after marriage
He was portrayed as a villain on Married at First Sight NZ and was “absolutely miserable” in his arranged relationship, but the reality series had a silver lining for Ben Blackwell – he realised during filming that he’d actually found Mr Right a few years earlier.
Woman’s Day can reveal the Three star has rekindled a romance with his Melbourne-based ex-boyfriend Jayden Jacobson, who he dated between 2014 and 2016, after they reconnected while Ben was still on MAFS with his husband Aaron Chisholm.
“My marriage was an absolute rock bottom and I had the realisation that I’d had a very good relationship with Jayden,” confesses Ben, 27.
“I messaged him to give him the heads-up that he might see me on TV and we just started chatting. The chemistry was still there. I realised that despite our break-up and my marriage, I’d always come back to Jayden. I’ve never been with anyone like him.”
