Viewers of Married At First Sight (MAFS) Australia were left wincing on Monday (March 13) after bride Melinda insulted her new husband Layton and said he was "punching" - meaning he'd been matched with someone out of his league. In the latest episode of the hit show, which sees couples matched by love experts meet their spouses for the first time at the altar on their wedding day, Melinda, a career-driven CEO of a fashion and beauty firm, was matched with Layton, the CEO of a firm making pet medications.
Both had described themselves as being hard-working and dedicated professionals with similar career-focused goals and passions in life - so viewers weren't surprised to learn that the MAFS Australia love experts had matched them together as a couple. Whilst Layton admitted that his obsession with his work had ultimately led to the breakdown of two of his previous relationships, it was clear the pair had been matched together with the hope they could become a "power couple". But unfortunately, Melinda did not immediately see this potential in her new relationship.
Shortly after marrying Layton, Melinda told the camera what she thought of him - and she certainly didn't hold back. "He may be punching just a little," she said. "I'd have swiped left. I'm a nine and a half, on a bad day!" For more TV news, go to this page of our website.
