Married At First Sight Kristina Goodsell reveals she’s dating new mystery man – as she takes swipe at ex Kieran
MARRIED At First star Kristina Goodsell has revealed that she is dating a mystery new man after split from Kieran Chapman.
Kristina, who appeared on last year’s E4 experiment, said she has since fallen out with ex husband Kieran and they no longer speak.
The dog walker was left heartbroken when Kieran ended their romance – despite weeks of appearing like the perfect couple.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Kristina said: “I’m a new woman since Married At First Sight. It’s taught me to be unapologetically myself.
“I am loving my single life, but I’m open to dating. I have been on dates, but it’s early stages.
“If someone is going to want me, they’re going to want me and I’m just going to go for it, because I’m not changing for anyone.”
Kristina admitted that her friendship with ex husband Kieran is well and truly over – despite agreeing to stay pals.
She told us: “Unfortunately we’re not friends, my perspective of a friendship and Kieran’s perspective of a friendship is very different.
“It has now been apparent since the first reunion.
“I treasure my friends and I need consistent friends, he unfortunately is not a consistent friend, so I wish him nothing but the best and send him so much love but 2025 is my year.”
Kristina and Kieran quickly became fan favourites when the 2024 series of MAFS UK kicked off.
However, Kristina soon starting struggling with the lack of intimacy in their relationship.
Kieran later made the heartbreaking confession that “the spark had gone” and they split during a commitment ceremony.
Meanwhile, Kristina was left crying for a second time during the last reunion episode.
Kieran admitted he had briefly dated someone new after their split.
One viewer wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “The fact he dated someone right after the experiment was over shows how little he cares about Kristina.”
Another added: “I really feel for Kristina man. She loved Kieran.”
And a third chimed in: “Ohh god I feel for Kristina.”
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.”
