SIMON DUMPED ME... and he’s already on Tinder!
It was only weeks ago that Alene Khatcherian and Simon Mcquillan sat down with Woman’s Day and spoke of their dream to have twins – even picking out their baby names. But to the dismay of fans, the Married At First Sight favourites revealed last week they’ve split.
“It was a difficult decision but we have decided to part ways,” the pair said in the joint statement. “We remain the greatest of friends and we will continue to be part of each other’s lives.” While everyone’s hoping they’ll reconsider, a source says it’s unlikely, with Simon making the decision to call it quits. “Alene was blindsided when he instigated the breakup,” tells a fellow “bride” on the show. “She’s heartbroken and devastated.”
Friends believe it might’ve been the distance that did it, with Simon, 39, living in Queensland and Alene, 31, in Sydney. And Simon, who had a sexy makeover on the show, hasn’t wasted any time moving on. The farmer is on dating app Tinder, and is getting plenty of female attention on Facebook.
