The surprising reason why Married At First Sight’s Michael Goonan stayed silent when his wife Stacey Hampton’s affair with Mikey Pembroke was exposed at the dinner party
Michael Goonan is one of the most outspoken grooms on Married At First Sight.
But he hardly said a word after his ‘wife’, Stacey Hampton, was exposed as an adulteress at Tuesday night’s reunion episode.
And there was a very specific reason why the company director, 29, stayed silent as Stacey’s one-night stand with Mikey Pembroke was discussed at the dinner table.

After the episode aired, Michael revealed on Instagram that he didn’t ‘bury’ Stacey in front of the other couples because he was being considerate of her children.
The law graduate, 26, has two sons from a previous relationship, Kosta and Kruz.
‘Even when you are wronged in life, you weight up the image you can cause someone and their children,’ he wrote.

‘No child needs to view their mum in a bad light. I had a split decision to bury her or let her hold her grace.
‘We all f**k up, believe me. I’m no saint. Thought it’s me and only me that was betrayed (Mikey was single), I’m not hurting anymore.’
Michael then thanked Stacey for cheating on him because it allowed him to meet his ‘perfect match’, KC Osborne, whom he has been quietly dating for several months.
He concluded: ‘In the end, I won in a strange way. That’s life, karma and lessons learned. Thanks, Stacey.’
The father-of-one was praised for his dignified response, with one follower commenting: ‘You are a classy guy, Michael. So glad you are in a better place now.
‘That was heard to watch you crushed like that. Your way of showing such dignity and respect at that time was something to see.’
Another wrote: ‘I admire you for that. It says a lot about your character.’
A third supporter added: ‘You have done well… you are my favourite this season as you saw [through] all the bulls**t. Good luck to you and KC.’
