MARRIED At First Sight groom Bailey Smith’s ex has posted a cryptic message about being “destroyed” – as fans slam his sham of a show marriage.
Viewers of the E4 series have seen the sales manager from St Albans wed wife Rebecca Fenney, 32 – after the pair first met at the altar in the matchmaking experiment.

Yet before trying to find love on the show, he was in an open relationship with his ex-fiancee, Lulu.
The Sun previously revealed how, despite a set of rules being in place for that relationship, Bailey “didn’t always follow them.”
Now the blonde bombshell has posted a series of screenshot messages to show her state of mind, as she suggested he “destroyed” her and “healing from wounds.”
She has uploaded a series of text messages written on white backgrounds, with one which read: “I hope you find someone who hates hurting your heart.”
Another read: “Do you know how strong you have to be to heal from wounds caused by someone who swore they loved you?”
A third, penned in red writing, quizzed: “Do you know how strong you have to be to believe in love again after the last time nearly destroyed you?”
One then mused: “May you attract someone who treats you like they’ve been waiting their whole life to find you.”
A telling upload then stated: “Loyal behind my back … that’s my type.”
OPEN RELATIONSHIP ISSUES
Bailey’s open relationship history has been thrown into the spotlight amid his time on the reality TV series.
A source close to the former couple previously told The Sun: “Those close to Bailey and his ex-fiancé know that the relationship was not monogamous, and as it was an open relationship, both parties hooked up with other people at different times throughout their partnership.
“The couple had some rules in the relationship, and Bailey didn’t always follow them, but has taken accountability for his mistakes and openly talks about them on MAFS UK.”
They continued to add: “He and his ex-partner remain friends, and there is a mutual respect between them. They shared some amazing experiences together and continue to support each other.
“All will be revealed on MAFS.”
BRIDE BLUES
Initially, Bailey’s MAFS bride Rebecca appeared less than impressed with her show partner.
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.”
On MAFS, Bailey told his new bride Rebecca he was 6ft 4, only for her to repeat it in disbelief before telling the cameras, “No, he’s 6ft 1.”
She was less than impressed with her groom when she saw him for the first time.
As she walked down the aisle, she laid out her expectations in a voiceover.
Rebecca said: “I am attracted to the alpha male. I won’t settle for anything less.”
“I’m not sure if he’s alpha or not”, the bride said, “He’s not my type.”
When about share their traditional wedding kiss, Rebecca asked Bailey to kiss her on the cheek instead.
There was also a fan backlash following some comments made by the bride.
Others are also convinced Bailey has split from his show wife after he appeared to drop a telling clue.
Yet all appears to have changed while on their Honeymoon, as the newlyweds kissed in the pool.
A cyclone hit, and the couple grew closer, with Rebecca telling the cameras: “Bailey is firmly out of the friend zone.”
Married At First Sight airs on E4.
