MAFS Star Leah Reveals She’s Not Speaking to Leigh After ‘Tasteless’ Bride ‘Tried to Throw Her Under the Bus’

“Married At First Sight” (MAFS) has been a rollercoaster for many of its participants, and Leah’s recent revelations about her ex Leigh have added fresh drama to the popular reality series. Leah, who once appeared to have a promising connection with Leigh, has now publicly stated that she is no longer in contact with her former partner. The reason? Leah accuses Leigh of acting in a “tasteless” manner by attempting to undermine her on social media. This article delves into the details of their fallout, the tensions that led to their split, and Leah’s new chapter with a well-known footballer.

Why Leah and Leigh’s Relationship Fell Apart: The ‘Tasteless’ Incident

Leah and Leigh’s relationship on MAFS initially showed promise. The couple managed to navigate the early challenges of the experiment, even impressing viewers during the homestay period. However, things took a turn for the worse during the final vows, where their differences became more apparent. Leah has since revealed that despite her initial hope to remain friends with Leigh, this was no longer possible after Leigh allegedly “threw her under the bus” on social media.

In an exclusive interview, Leah shared, “The reunion was fine, but she’s done a few bad things on social media and tried to throw me under the bus for some weird reason. I’m not totally sure why. We don’t talk now. I’ve got no time for her at all. I just find it all a bit tasteless.” This statement highlights the depth of the rift between the two, emphasizing Leah’s disappointment and decision to cut ties.

One of the key issues that strained their relationship was Leigh’s vaping habit. Leah, a non-smoker, found it difficult to cope with Leigh vaping constantly, especially during intimate moments. “She didn’t compromise on that and I’m not a smoker. I did ask for a non-smoking person,” Leah explained. “Sitting in bed at 3am and smoking vape in my face – there’s an element of disrespect in that.” This fundamental difference in lifestyle preferences contributed significantly to their growing divide.

Rumors and Speculations Surrounding Leigh’s Loyalty

Adding fuel to the fire were rumors that Leigh was secretly communicating with her ex during the filming of MAFS. According to sources close to the show, Leigh was allegedly sending “love you” messages on cards during commitment ceremonies, which were purportedly meant for her ex, L’wren. These whispers of infidelity and divided loyalties created tension not only between Leah and Leigh but also among the cast members.

Leigh’s mother was also rumored to have suggested that Leigh’s participation in MAFS was more about boosting her career than genuine intentions to find love on the show. Such claims further complicated the narrative and cast doubt on Leigh’s sincerity.

When approached for comment, Leigh denied being in a romantic relationship during filming and clarified that her relationship with L’wren had ended prior to the show. She stated, “My relationship with L’wren ended at the end of 2024 but we remained friends. She was aware that I was going to do Married At First Sight and was in support of that.” L’wren also provided a statement confirming their breakup was unrelated to the show and dismissing the damaging rumors.

Leah’s New Beginning: Dating Footballer Maz Pacheco

Following the fallout with Leigh, Leah has found happiness with Maz Pacheco, a defender for Women’s Super League club Everton and a former England youth international. The two have known each other for over 13 years, but their relationship only turned romantic after Leah’s split from Leigh.

This new relationship marks a fresh start for Leah, who seems focused on moving forward and leaving the past behind. Her connection with Maz has been well-received by fans, who appreciate seeing Leah in a positive and supportive partnership.
