MAFS’ Shona and Matt confess they’re ‘in love’ after keeping romance hidden

Married at First Sight stars Shona and Matt have confirmed their secret romance

Shona and Brad had a tumultuous time on the show, and ended their relationship after a short period due to it being "too unhealthy".

However, back in June, Shona met Matt Pilmoor at the MAFS reunion, and the pair have been secretly dating since.

The 31-year-old opened up to OK! Magazine about her budding romance with Matt.

"We have a really healthy, happy, safe, fun, relationship - I really appreciate Matt so much, it's what I deserve, we deserve each other. I'm proud to be his girlfriend and it just works," she said.

Shona, who hails from Nottingham, explained how they kept their relationship under wraps.

"Matt would be driving and I would be in the back, we would be walking around Nottingham and I'd be all the way over there, we were like secret agents on a mission".

Matt reflected on whether they wished they had been paired together on the show originally.

"We had to do what we had to do, my experience was good but we were meant to go on those journeys to find each other," he said.

"Being together from the start would have been incredible but I think it happened this way around for a purpose."

Matt admits that he found Shona attractive from the moment he met her, but Shonda did not even know who he was until they met again at the reunion.

"I remember saying to Shona at the end of the reunion 'You should come to Harrogate' and she was like 'Ok, I will' but we didn't rush into anything," he said.

The 29-year-old had broken up with his partner from the show, Adrienne, "four or five weeks before" the reunion.

"We said to each other it's a bit soon, let's not meet straightaway, so it was about five weeks after the reunion when we met," he said.

Shona added: "I wanted to learn from my experience with Brad, I didn't want to go in head first, I wanted it to be a slow burner."
