MAFS 2023 Bronte and Harrison
Bronte #Bronte
Season 10 of the infamously drama-filled reality TV show we all love-to-hate, Married At First Sight has introduced a bombshell couple Bronte and Harrison.
The wedding between Bronte and Harrison got off to a very positive start but the reception was where the real juice erupted.
And with the first moment we met Harrison, we knew he was trouble (when he walked in… Swiftie fans will get it).
The tradie was quick to admit that, “girls think I’m hot… so if you find a better guy, I’ll beat him by 10%.”
After the ceremony, a friend of the bride then pulled Bronte away to drop a drama-filled bomb that she has a friend who has been dating Harrison for the past month and a half.
The friend even had proof in the form of screenshots of the text conversation Harrison was having with this supposed girlfriend of his.
Bronte understandably confronts Harrison. His response? “I was seeing a number of girls before this. I was a single guy in Sydney.”
He goes on to say he wasn’t in a relationship with them, and then admitted that he “connected” with someone he had a crush on a week before he entered the show.
It was later revealed that the mystery girl even helped him back his bags for the experiment! And Harrison was talking to her on his wedding day.
During the first dinner party in 2023 season, Harrison was challenged by fellow bride Melinda, which he clearly didn’t enjoy. But Melinda’s points struck a chord with Bronte as she realised his excuses weren’t quite air-tight.
“I don’t appreciate being attacked like that,” he told the camera crew.
Bronte was visibly upset yet Harrison never confided or apologised but rather bought her a little cupcake – which she didn’t appreciate.
“I didn’t know you were crying,” he told Bronte. “What do I have to apologise for?”
“It’s amazing, you’ve turned this entire thing into something about Bronte… I’m also going through a lot of things at the moment.”
He then turned the conversation around, asking what effort Bronte was putting into the relationship. After just a few minutes of living together, the pair already moved into separate apartments.
Harrison hoped the experts would hold Bronte accountable during the commitment ceremony but was quickly shut down as they questioned his true intentions, claiming he had been minimising the scandal from the beginning.
“I kinda resent the idea that I don’t deserve the opportunity to have a relationship because of what I was doing a week before coming into here,” he said.
“My attitude was I’m not going to stop living my life going up to essentially an experiment with someone I’ve never met before. I just didn’t feel the need to be faithful to someone I didn’t even know.”
Harrison then wrote he wanted to leave the experiment, betraying Bronte once again. But Bronte chose to stay.
After a few days of tension, Bronte reveal she wanted to move on and start fresh in order to mend the relationship. Harrison responded he wouldn’t hold anything she has done in the past against her.
“She’s done the right thing,” he said. “I just need to see that commitment from Bronte.”
The pair built a strong bond in only a short period of time, so when Harrison then showed his true colours once again, Bronte turned a blind eye.
After throwing another groom under the bus, Harrison eventually revealed he got a girls phone number while at the bar and claimed he deleted it straight away.
Bronte completely trusted his story as “girls are gonna find him attractive” and she is secure.
Despite multiple warnings from her fellow brides, Bronte refuses to believe their comments that she is being ’emotionally manipulated’ by Harrison and says she is in a happy relationship.
