He’s the relationship expert guiding our favourite newlyweds through their first months of marriage on Married At First Sight.
But what do we know about John Aiken’s own love life?
After some investigating, we discovered the 48-year-old is married to a familiar face – and a stunning one at that!
“She is someone I am very grateful that I met,” John told 9Honey of Kelly Swanson-Roe, a glamorous former news reporter from New Zealand.
The couple, who share two children together, met across the ditch 14-years-ago. But Kelly’s backstory is a heartbreaking one.
John met Kelly in the years after her first husband, Jon Roe, was killed in a canoeing accident in Switzerland.
“She is a very resilient woman and quite inspiring to be around, someone who I look up to and who I have a lot of respect for,” he told the website.
From the start of their own relationship, John knew it was important to keep Jon’s memory alive for Kelly.
“Rather than saying, ‘No, I need to be separate with Kelly,’ I just said, ‘I’m going to bring her past partner into the relationship and really make him a part of it all.'”
