Married At First Sight's Hayley Vernon CONFIRMS her split from David Cannon

Married At First Sight‘s Hayley Vernon has confirmed her split from ‘husband’ David Cannon.

The Melbourne-based finance broker, 32, told Fitzy and Wippa that the couple had ended things during the experiment, despite their repeated efforts to reconcile.

She added that ‘things get better’ between them in upcoming episodes, before abruptly ‘going south’.

Hayley blamed David’s devout Christian parents, Michelle and Kelvin, for contributing to their relationship breakdown. 

‘I honestly reckon [my past] wasn’t on his mind that much but it was on his parents’ mind and they got into his ear… and that’s been eating him up inside,’ she said. 

Hayley had hoped that David, 31, would look past his parents’ opinions, but unfortunately this didn’t happen.

‘[David is] one of those guys who sits next to mummy and daddy and really listens to what they say. The fact that he wasn’t matched with this wholesome Christian girl with a clean past, that meant more to him than seeing me for who I am,’ she said. 

David’s parents certainly didn’t hide their disappointment during their son’s wedding to the bodybuilder, which aired earlier this month. 

‘I don’t know if she’s the right style of woman for David,’ Kelvin told producers.

On Sunday night’s episode, Hayley and David clashed during their therapy session, but eventually apologised to each other and chose to stay in the experiment

‘This is not his usual type for a long-term relationship. I think David has definitely got his work cut out,’ he added. 

Hayley also told Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam and Browny on Monday that her past addiction to crystal meth meant that her and David’s relationship was doomed from the start. 

‘I think ultimately [David] was more angry with the experts. He had this ideal checklist of the woman he wanted to be involved with. I fell short, so he had a chip on his shoulder,’ she said.

When asked whether she believes the experts matched her and David ‘for drama’ rather than romance, Hayley replied: ‘100 per cent, 100 per cent.’
