MAFS UK star goes Instagram official with stunning new girlfriend after being axed from the show in shock scenes
MAFS star Luke Worley has gone public with his new girlfriend.
The unlucky in love reality star has had a string of failed relationships since finding fame on Married At First Sight in 2023.
He was paired with Jay Howard during the experiment but while the former couple appeared to hit it off immediately, the cracks started to show.
They split shortly after leaving the show, and last year Luke was in a new relationship but that ended just six months later.
More recently he has claimed to have proposed to and been turned down by a mystery woman in Dubai.
But now things seem to be looking up with Luke sharing a picture of his apparent new girlfriend Thalia Pearce.
Sharing a picture of blond beauty Thalia, Luke wrote: “Back with the bestie.”
The post sparked comments from fans with them assuming he’s finally found love after a disastrous run.
When appearing on MAFS Luke and Jay were forced to make an early exit after Luke’s bust up with his co-star, Jordan Gayle.
Fans had high hopes for the couple despite that, however when Jay and Luke returned to our screens for the reunion.
But it couldn’t have been further from what they hoped.
Jay confirmed they went their separate, confessing to her co-stars: “He literally basically just said, like, we are better off just being friends.
“I asked him what he wanted, but he couldn’t answer the question.”
Last year Jay opened up about the real reason why they split.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, she said: “I agree with us leaving at the time that we did because the altercation between Luke and Jordan shouldn’t have happened.
“At the time I would have liked to have completed the experience with Luke but on reflection I’m grateful that I didn’t because it showed me that not every relationship is meant to last and that me and Luke weren’t right for each other.”
Jay continued: “When we left the experiment we went on holiday, everything was good and we were really strong but then things changed when we came home.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
“He went back to Essex and I came back to Accrington.
“I felt like he changed and he couldn’t be bothered to put in the effort.”
