Married At First Sight star JJ Slater’s model ex has reportedly been revealed.
The TV star had teased that he used to date someone who modelled for the lingerie brand, saying on the show: “My ex was a Victoria’s Secret model and amazing to look at… I loved going out with her, she was really, really, really pretty and the relationship was pretty wild.”
And MailOnline has now identified his former flame as stunning model and actress Kelsie Jean Smeby. JJ didn’t identify Kelsie when chatting about their romance, but a deep dive into social media has revealed snaps and videos of the pair that suggest they were an item.

Another shot that has come to light showed that JJ – who lived in Los Angeles before returning to Essex – once rubbed shoulders with the likes of catwalk queen Kendall Jenner at one party. A show insider was quoted as saying: “JJ made some bold claims about his partying lifestyle in LA and the company he kept, and it’s not exaggerated. He had a wild and life enhancing experience out there where he mixed with some real A-listers.”

The source also said that at the time JJ was “loved up” with Kelsie, who also models for Guess. However, the relationship broke down and the reality show star went onto MAFS hoping to meet someone new.
He has been matched with business owner Bianca Petronzi, but irked some viewers when he appeared to fail to mask his disappointment when he first met his bride. Bianca recently shared a snap from their nuptials on Instagram as she admitted it hadn’t all been perfect, writing: “Happy newly weds… I think?

“If I’m being honest, being in that moment of when it was all happening felt so magical and special. In my eyes I thought the day had gone perfectly from start to finish and I had met the man I would finally say yes to. However, watching it all back looked so very different.
“We were strangers, we didn’t know a thing about one another and we were getting married. One of us looked in total hope, the other looked in total disappointment.”
“Did it hurt?” she went on. “Absolutely. But hopefully we can grow together, learn about each other and trust one another to build the relationship we both strive for.”
Married At First Sight UK airs Mondays to Thursdays at 9pm on E4
