Who is Jack Dunkley's bride on MAFS?
In the first week of MAFS, Jack was paired with Tori Adams. While they seem to be interested in each other, things were already looking rocky when Tori's best friend expressed doubts during the wedding ceremony and now, Jack has admitted to having a girlfriend a mere six weeks before filming began.

Why did Jack Dunkley sign up for MAFS?
As mentioned above, Jack says he signed up to find a partner who fits his list of requirements. But his application wasn't without scandal.
In August 2023, The Daily Mail were first to report on a scandal brewing behind the scenes. According to the publication, Jack was labelled a "love rat" and tensions grew on set when it was claimed Jack had "abruptly ended" his latest romance to appear on the show.
The Daily Mail and Yahoo Lifestyle both reported that Jack's ex-girlfriend, Courtney, was shocked at his decision to join MAFS. She alleges that he "dumped" her right before filming commenced.
"Breaks up with me right after I met his family and he told me he loves me. Tells me it's for [a] 'work opportunity in America' only to find out he's on MAFS in Sydney," Courtney wrote on The Wash's Instagram page.
Jack addressed the rumours during the season's first dinner party - and while Tori herself seems ok with the situation, many other contestants and even the MAFS experts have a *few* more questions regarding the relationship timeline.
“I’ve got a disgruntled ex basically,” Jack told everyone during the dramatic episode. “It’s all out of context."
"It was a very casual but exclusive relationship...She fell a little bit harder for me and a little bit quicker."
"She’s thrown me under the bus," he added before drawing attention to her "colourful past" and inability to read the writing on the wall that their relationship was over.

Jack confirmed to his fellow dinner party guests that he did try and end the relationship "about six or seven weeks ago" - long before he knew he was participating in the experiment, but the excuse was quickly disputed by the MAFS experts who revealed he was "well into the experiment process" by then.
