MAFS star Divarni has been targeted by a woman claiming to be his ex, who has leaked his DMs and texts online.
Divarni Groce-Balogun is participating in the new series of the E4 show, and has married Julia-Ruth, with viewers so far seeing the couple head off on their honeymoon.

But off screen, the dad-of-one has been the subject of some angry rants on social media, from a woman claiming to be his ex.
They took to social media to leak DMs and texts online, claiming that Divarni had sent them to her, and claiming they were dating when he went on the show.
The videos of the texts and DMs have since been deleted after the clip of them went viral on TikTok.
She also shared a video, writing over the top: “My honest reaction seeing Divarni on MAFS UK 6 months after I found out he was engaged to a greek woman while me and him were planning to travel the world together.”
But a source has said that this definitely wasn’t the case.
They told The Sun: “Divarni was texting this person, but everything came to an end in January – before he met MAFS bosses.
“Now she’s clearly upset and has made a series of TikTok videos slamming him. They never met in person and they were never even official.”
It comes as MAFS viewers are convinced that there is more to a story after Julia-Ruth and Divarni fell out on their honeymoon.
The couple instantly hit it off after meeting for the first time on their wedding day, with Divarni saying his new bride took his “breathe away”, while Julia-Ruth admitted she had a big “crush” on her man.
But just hours into their honeymoon, the pair seemed to have formed a dislike to one another out of nowhere.
E4 viewers took to social media to share their theories – saying “it doesn’t make sense” and we must have “missed something”.
One wrote: “Something has happened between Julia-Ruth and Divarni that we haven’t seen because that switch in behaviour?”
A second posted: “I think something is off with Julia-Ruth, I can’t put my finger on it.”
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
A third said: “I feel like we’ve missed something, why does Julia-Ruth hate Divarni so much?”
This person shared: “I agree – she’s not ugly, physically, but I think that she is, personality-wise. It’s the way that she disregards poor Divarni’s ‘woes’, and chastises him for them. I feel sorry for him. Just because she’s had a ‘pampered existence’, doesn’t mean he has.”
Someone else asked: “What did Divarni do to make her look pi***d?”
This viewer wrote: “What the hell is Divarni apologising for? What did I miss?”
Another added: “Still don’t quite get how Julia-Ruth and Divarni crashed and burned so fast.”
In recent scenes, Julia-Ruth and Divarni woke up in separate rooms after she asked if they could spend the night apart.
She told the camera: “He was really mad at what I said and what happened at the camel ride”.
Julia-Ruth then claimed: “Last night when we were travelling back to the resort, Divarni just started shouting at me, out of nowhere.
“He was coming at me with a lot of energy. One of my deal breakers was temper and anger – I’ve been very clear about that.
“There was no need for it.”
But Divarni then shared his version of events.
He said: “On the way back I spoke to Julia-Ruth about how annoyed I was.
“I was coming from a dinner that was very intense, there was a lot of emotions and I’m feeling like I’ve been mugged off and that’s something I’m not standing for in this experiment, I want to be respected.”
Julia-Ruth admitted she needed more space as she reassess things.
In the evening, the pair reunited for dinner as Divarni tried his best to move on from their issues.
He told her: “I missed you today.
“Yesterday was an emotional day from the conversation at dinner, then the elevated levels of stress then went through the roof.”
Julia-Ruth said: “There was just no need for that situation to happen,” to which Divarni replied: “Just in the heat of the moment.”
But his new wife explained that it wasn’t appropriate, which led him to apologise for being “too strong” and “not articulating it right”.
She accepted his apology and they agreed to take “baby steps” going forward.
