It comes after New Idea reported that the couple called it quits just two days after filming their final vows last year.
According to the magazine, Heidi, 38, ended her relationship with the Gold Coast electrician after discovering he ‘had felt pressured to say he loved her’.
‘Heidi couldn’t deal with it,’ the source said, adding that Mike was already flirting with other girls at bars within a week of the split.
Mike has struggled to convey his feelings for Heidi throughout the MAFS experiment, once memorably telling her during homestays: ‘I’ll try to fall in love with you’.

Meanwhile, Mike also revealed on Monday that he blamed fellow contestant Jessika Power for the downfall of his TV marriage.
During the final dinner party, which aired last week, Jessika had told the group that Mike ‘wanted to say no at final vows’ because his relationship with Heidi was so bad.
Mike told TV Week that these comments were ‘really harmful’ because he and Heidi were ‘already on shaky ground’ at the time.
‘We’d been through so much turmoil – we could hardly afford another scandal. Having Jessika say I was planning to leave was really harmful to us,’ he said.
