MAFS star SPLITS with DJ boyfriend – just weeks after dad’s sad death
FORMER Married At First Sight star Jessika Power has confirmed her split from British DJ Brent Anthony, following a challenging few weeks marked by personal loss.
The 31-year-old reality star, who first gained fame on the sixth season of MAFS Australia, subtly revealed the news on social media.
Earlier this month, Jessika took to Instagram with a sultry photo where she was dressed in pink lingerie.
She captioned the post: “Dreamy day of content, you know where to see the rest”.
One follower who was clearly in the know expressed sadness over her break up with Brent, commenting: “I’m sad you and Brent broke up, you looked so happy with him.”
Jessika responded candidly, saying: “I really wasn’t and I hid a lot of my emotions and embarrassment from the internet.”
Hints of the split had surfaced days prior during an Instagram Q&A, where Jessika mentioned that her dog Sushi was living in France with her ex.
She explained: “Sushi is with my ex because I had to leave in a rush for my father’s funeral.”
The reality star added that she was trying to arrange a flight for Sushi to the UK as she feels bad for Brent having to look after her dog despite the couple not being together anymore.
The split appears to have been amicable, as Jessika added: “Brent and I have a lot of care for each other.”
In recent weeks the devastated TV personality shared the heartbreaking news of her father’s passing with followers.
She shared a pictured of herself with her late dad and wrote: “…doesn’t feel real. We love you dad. I hope you’re up there having a port with your mates and looking down on us missing you forever.”
The MAFS favourite had a closer relationship with her father Troy than with her mum, whom she distanced herself from some years ago.
Troy and Jessika were estranged for many years but reconnected and formed a strong bond six years before she starred on MAFS in 2019.
Speaking on Lads Dads And Couple Of Beers Podcast, Jessika previously opened up about her tough childhood.
“My mother has sold stories on me, I’ve had best friends sell stories on me,” Jessika claimed.
“My mother and I haven’t had a relationship in about seven years but she decided four years ago that we were really close and sold stories that were completely fabricated and false.”
