Bombshell photos have emerged showing Married At First Sight grooms Jack Dunkley and Tristan Black together, dispelling rumours of animosity.
Daily Mail Australia spotted the pair greeting each other across the road from the Skye Suites Green Square, where the couples are housed during filming.
Gold Coast personal trainer Dunkley, 38, was seen looking cheery as he greeted Tristan, 30, on October 1, just days after his apology at the dinner party.
Jack became the centre of controversy after claims he referred to his co-star as a ‘whale’ during Tuesday’s episode.
Dunkley, however, has clarified that the comment was directed in jest towards two women in the experiment, not fellow groom Tristan as previously believed.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Thursday, Dunkley explained, ‘I walked into the pool, did a little dance, and made a joke to Lauren, saying, “The whales are here.” It was just self-deprecating humor, Lauren laughed, and then I continued to get into the pool.’
The misunderstanding spiraled out of control when Timothy brought up the comment during a group drinks night.
Dunkley believes this was a deliberate twist of his words, stating, ‘By this point of the experiment, I knew who was plotting together… if I looked sideways, mate, they would create a storyline out of that.’

Dunkley also revealed his ongoing friendship with Tristan, stating, ‘Me and Tristan had a fantastic relationship during filming. I was mentoring him throughout the show.’
Despite the initial hurt, Tristan forgave Dunkley after several apologies, which were made both off and on camera.
Dunkley even went as far as gifting Tristan a supplement store gift card, reinforcing their bond.

The gesture of apology was made in the presence of Timothy, despite Dunkley and Timothy’s strained relationship.
Dunkley reached out to Timothy as a sign of goodwill, recognising his significant emotional support to Tristan, ‘I put my ego aside, reached out to Timothy and said, ‘Hey, I want to do this with Tristan tonight at the dinner party.”
Married At First Sight continues on Sunday at 7pm on Channel Nine.
