MAFS’ Michael Brunelli and Martha Kalifatidis stumble through a VERY awkward interview as they address cheating rumours – before revealing they ‘aren’t living together and can’t remember the last time they had sex’
Michael Brunelli and Martha Kalifatidis have split… or at least they’re about to.
Despite choosing to stay together on Married At First Sight on Monday night, the couple seemed very distant during a radio interview on Tuesday morning.
Speaking on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, the pair squirmed when asked about cheating rumours and their still-unresolved living situation.
Did they split? Despite choosing to stay together on MAFS on Monday night, Michael Brunelli and Martha Kalifatidis seemed very distant during a radio interview on Tuesday morning
At one stage, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson asked Martha, 30, about questionable photos that surfaced last week of her on an apartment balcony with an ‘ex-boyfriend’.
‘There’s been a couple of photos where you’re on the balcony with your ex-boyfriend in like a bra, so what was that about?’ she asked.
‘That’s not my ex-boyfriend. He is like one of my oldest friends. We were just hanging out,’ she said, adding that Michael knew they were spending the day together.
Jackie then asked Martha about another set of photos, originally taken in December, which appear to show her on a date with fellow MAFS contestant Samuel Ball.
‘Those photos of Sam and I were taken, like, actually on Christmas Eve in Byron [Bay]. I was in Byron with my family… and Sam lives down there,’ she said.
‘He we just literally walking past [the restaurant we were at] and he came and sat and had like a few drinks with my parents.’
Elsewhere in the interview, Martha and Michael, 27, hesitated and gave awkward answers when asked if they are still together.
They also stumbled over basic questions about whether they will be moving in together. At present, Martha is still living in Bondi and Michael resides in Melbourne.
‘I haven’t moved to Bondi yet,’ Michael said. ‘We haven’t put a timeline on it, we just wanted to see how things went outside of the experiment.’
Martha also said she prefers living Bondi because it is ‘beautiful’ whereas the Melbourne suburb she grew up in is ‘ugly’.
In a particularly cringeworthy moment, radio host Kyle Sandilands asked bluntly: ‘How long since you guys last had sex?’
After a long pause, Martha said: ‘I don’t remember actually… Michael, you can answer this one.’
They eventually agreed upon ‘last week’, which prompted Kyle to remark that it can’t have been that memorable if they’d already forgotten about it.
