Overview
- Mae Hunter posted a TikTok on Sunday featuring Divarni with the caption, "Well if they're sleeping with us. They must like us?" followed by, "Their partners did, in fact, not like them."
- The clip was interpreted as a swipe at Julia-Ruth, who on Married At First Sight UK said she was not physically attracted to Divarni and later expressed interest in fellow participant Steven.
- Julia-Ruth responded on Monday with a TikTok lip-syncing to Ariana Grande’s 'Break Free' and on-screen text reading, "When your ex can't stop talking about you, cute," while flipping her middle finger.
- Viewers welcomed the unexpected collaboration, with supportive comments praising Divarni and calling the pairing a favorite moment on TikTok.
- Reports linked the video’s theme to Mae’s similar experience on BBC’s Stranded on Honeymoon Island with partner Moray despite private intimacy, and noted Julia-Ruth’s prior Instagram reflection that the process was "tough, trying, challenging and chaotic."
