Married At First Sight star Polly Sellman’s new romance revealed after failed marriage and explosive showdown
MARRIED At First Sight star Polly Sellman has met a new man after her failed show marriage and explosive showdown.
The former careers advisor – whose marriage to Adam Nightingale, 33, gripped fans of the E4 series – quit the UK shortly after the episodes aired.
But now, a source close to the reality star and influencer has revealed that she’s moved on with a hunky new man after starting fresh in Sydney.
Polly, 29, has headed on dates with her mystery brown haired lover, from an outdoor cinema to trips to the beach.
According to the source, they’ve also got weekends away in the diary and things are going “just as they should be” between the pair.
They told The Sun: “Polly and her new man met when she landed in Sydney, and they’ve been on lots of lovely dates planned by him.
“They’ve been to a wildlife centre, cinema, and are planning on some weekends away with friends, as well as long beach days booked in too.
“Polly is really enjoying her newfound romance, because they’ve been honest with each other about what they want and had the initial hard conversation about what they’re looking for.
“They want to find their feet in Sydney without rushing into things, and enjoy each other’s time as much as they can, knowing it’s just them.”
The source went on: “Polly is enjoying having validation and honesty from someone about what they want from the relationship.
“And she feels it’s a lot better than what she had with Adam, because he’s actually into her and definitely isn’t scared of showing PDA when it’s just them together.
“It’s a breath of fresh air for her.”
The stunning star – who found fame on MAFS – was partnered with groom Adam.
They were beset by problems from the very start of their relationship, but the pair tried to make things work.
But an explosive row saw her throw a glass of wine over him in tense scenes, as their marriage crumbled.
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.”
Polly was told by Adam that she wasn’t his type when they met, as he said that he usually goes for “petite brunettes.”
Yet she seems to have had the last laugh with her recent boost in body confidence and exciting relationship status.
Prior to her new man, fans speculated that Polly had struck up a romance with Kieran Chapman.
The pair appeared on the E4 show last year, but both of their marriages crumbled under the pressure of the show.
Fans declared that they’d spotted clues that they were an item, as she marked Kieran’s birthday with a loved up message, sharing a collection of smiley pics of them together at an event.
But it’s now confirmed that it was nothing more than a friendship between the pair, with Polly starting afresh down under, with a new man by her side.
