Heartbroken Married At First Sight UK star reveals shock split after five months and reveals reason it didn’t work out
MARRIED At First Sight star Jordan Gayle has revealed he has split from his girlfriend after five months together.
Earlier this year, Jordan, 27, went Instagram official with Australian beauty Melissa Golik,32, who works as a nurse.
But the pair have called time on their relationship, leaving the E4 star heartbroken just nine months after splitting from co-star Erica Roberts, 26.
Jordan took to his Instagram story to share the sad news.
He wrote: “It’s with a heavy heart that I announce I’ve gone through another break-up,” followed by a broken heart emoji.
Jordan continued: “When you are from the other sides of the world it makes it very difficult to work.”
He added: “I wish nothing but happiness for Mel.”
Back in August, Jordan shared a slew of snaps with Melissa.
In the images, the new couple were seen sipping on cockatils as they enjoyed romantic nights out in London.
Jordan couldn’t keep his eyes off the beauty as they partied in China Town and cosied up in a swanky-looking club.
Jordan wrote in his caption: “Life with you,” followed by heart and lock emojis and an Australian flag.
In July, the reality star reignited a very bitter feud with Erica, accusing her of recording ’14 TikToks about him’.
Exes at war
Jordan hit back at his ex in a podcast and claimed she has ‘dragged his name through the mud’ with her videos.
Erica, however, clapped back and insisted her videos are NOT about him.
But Jordan said on The Bro’Cast Podcast: “So she’s done 14 TikToks where everyone has assumed it’s about me.
“Everyone has flooded to my page, viewed my Stories, sent me messages, saying, ‘Look what she’s saying about you’… that I’m toxic or my behaviour was horrible. I’ve done this, this, this.
“She’s aware that people are assuming it’s about me.
“Whether it is about me or it isn’t, the fact that people are assuming it’s about me is bringing all this negativity. It’s making people look negatively at me.
“It’s dragging my name through the mud. To me, I would never do that because it’s not worth social media views and I wouldn’t do that to anyone.”
Jordan added: “If I don’t start defending myself, it’s going to run away. This has been going on for four months now.”
Jordan shared a clip from the podcast on his Instagram account and added screenshots from Erica’s TikTok account to it.
One was from a video of Erica rolling her eyes with the caption: “I focused on myself after the breakup and you had to go seek validation from multiple women.”
Erica has insisted the TikToks are nothing to do with Jordan, however, and hit back on his Instagram page.
She blasted: “You are genuinely clutching at straws here.
“Did I not message you 3 weeks ago to clear up that my TikTok’s were NOT about you as I’d seen you on multiple podcasts trying to run with this false narrative, so why are you still going please stop flattering yourself.
“I’ve not spoken about you or the break up once online you’re the only one still yapping on.”
She added: “Please go heal and move on.”
Jordan and Erica appeared on last year’s series of Married At First Sight and tied the knot within seconds of setting eyes on each other.
Their relationship appeared to be going well once outside of the TV experiment, but The Sun revealed they had split in February.
A source said at the time: “It was Erica that ended her marriage with Jordan… she did everything possible to make it work but sadly they struggled and in the end, she had no choice but to give up.”
Jordan previously spoke out and said he felt “a mug” for falling so hard and fast for Erica on the show last year.
The fitness fanatic admitted in another podcast: “I feel like a mug for falling as hard as I did.
“It’s weird because I’ve not got emotional about it for a long time because I think I’ve been holding it back a bit.”
He added: “I didn’t care about any of the fame or the opportunities or any of the money, so losing the relationship was like the be all and end-all for me.”
