Married At First Sight star JJ Slater has admitted that he did have sex with Ella Morgan after he split from his initial match, Bianca Petronzi, despite denying it on the show.
After JJ failed to form romantic feelings for Bianca, he later admitted on the show that he had feelings for Ella, causing a whirlwind of drama which resulted in Bianca leaving the show.
JJ recently claimed to MailOnline that he and Ella were not intimate on the show, before revealing he was fearful of discussing their private relationship without Ella’s consent.
Now, JJ has the record straight and explained that he and Ella did in fact take their relationship to the next level and said it felt “natural” to explore his feelings with her.
He told the publication: “Yesterday when I was asked this question, I hadn't spoken to Ella… a lot of girls wouldn't want this to be public and again for me I'm quite private, so I didn't want to speak about it. But at the same time, we don't want anything that's not true to be out there so now I feel the need to put the record straight.
“Where we hadn't had the conversation, I didn't think it was right to speak about it until I had spoken to Ella, and I have now and she's comfortable with it being public. We did take our relationship to the next level.”
JJ explained that, while filming the E4 show, Ella and JJ visited his home in Essex where they felt the “pressure was off a little bit” and it was a “reassuring time” in their relationship.
The reality star also opened up on the homophobic abuse he received from online trolls due to his relationship with Ella. He described the comments as “unkind” and said they were hard to deal with, however, his friendship with Ella made the experience worthwhile.
The groom explained that he sees Ella as the woman she is today and doesn’t see it as “a big thing”.
JJ said: “Ella has been very open with her transition and shares the same genitalia as any other woman I have been with. Our relationship was important to both of us, and we are still really good friends”.
