Ashley Dommett, a 35-year-old participant from Wales in the tenth series of Married at First Sight UK, has ignited speculation about a potential new romance after being spotted on a night out with two brides from the show’s previous season. Currently paired with midwife Grace Law, 31, on the E4 reality series, Ashley’s relationship with Grace has been rocky due to their differing values and senses of humor, leading to noticeable tension on-screen.
Recent developments have further fueled rumors of a split between Ashley and Grace. The couple, who remain together in the ongoing episodes, have reportedly unfollowed each other on Instagram, a move that fans and insiders interpret as a sign their relationship may have ended after filming concluded. An insider told The Sun, “Grace has gone rogue recently and been slamming the show and the edit on socials, and now her and Ashley aren’t following each other, it’s pretty clear they aren’t together anymore.”
Adding to the buzz, on Wednesday, October 22, former MAFS UK participant Hannah Norburn shared a video on social media featuring herself, Season 9 bride Sionainn Carmichael, and Ashley enjoying a lively night out. The trio was seen dancing and smiling at the camera with drinks in hand, set to the tune of Justin Bieber’s Baby. Hannah captioned the post, “Mini MAFS reunion with a new recruit and the world’s most unlikely trio,” prompting fans to flood the comments with questions about a possible romance brewing among the group.
Ashley was quick to clarify the nature of the outing, stating, “It was actually Leisha Lightbody that organised the night but then had to work late and bail last minute.” He emphasized that the group were “just friends,” dispelling romantic speculation for now.
Both Hannah and Sionainn have had their share of drama on MAFS UK. Hannah, a Season 9 participant, faced a tumultuous journey after clashing repeatedly with her matched groom, who eventually cut off communication with her. She also endured harsh criticism from fellow brides, who accused her of flirting with their partners. During the show, Hannah found solace in a connection with co-star Orson, who was navigating his own relationship challenges.
Similarly, Sionainn’s experience on the show was far from smooth. She exited the series after a heated argument with her groom, Ryan, who allegedly admitted to “faking it all” and treating the show as a “holiday romance,” according to Sionainn’s revelations to fellow contestants.
The video of the trio sparked some negative comments directed at Hannah, prompting Ashley to come to her defense. He wrote, “She’s actually a really nice person mate, had a class and needed fun night with them both last night,” highlighting the camaraderie among the group.
As MAFS UK fans continue to speculate about Ashley’s relationship status and his connection with Hannah and Sionainn, the unfolding drama keeps viewers hooked on what might happen next for this “unlikely trio.”
