MAFS' Nick Furphy says Jessika Power gave up on their relationship

"I probably still would have tried." - by Madi Spira
  • 04 Sep 2019

Nick Furphy has opened up about his split from Jessika Power, revealing she was the one to call time on their two-month-long relationship.

Speaking to his fans on Instagram, the Married at First Sight star— who rose to fame after appearing on season four of the controversial dating show—said he "probably still would have tried" to make things work, however, Jess had already given up. 

"Are Jess and I dating? No," he said during an Instagram Live video. "[With] all the articles out there and people guessing, I just want to put that to bed. Look, it was a mutual thing, but I probably still would have tried to hang in there a bit. But the distance...  and Jess... it wasn't working."

Although the seemingly loved up couple regularly flaunted their romance on Instagram, the reality TV star said their love for each other just "fizzled out". 

"Am I upset? A bit disappointed, but its early days. I think it was a mutual thing and we'll keep going forward."

When asked whether he's ready to try his hand at love again, Nick suggested that he's already speaking to other girls, however, is in no rush to jump into another relationship. 

"There are plenty more birds out there but there's no rush. I'm just going to live my life and take it easy," he concluded.

Three days after sharing a cryptic message on Instagram about moving on, Jessika announced that she'd called it quits with Nick in a heartfelt social media post. 

"I know there's a lot of speculation going around right now in regards to my relationship status with Nick," she began. "Regretfully after thinking of what's best for myself and Nick I decided to ended (sic) our relationship." 

She went on to thank her fans for their support, however, asked they respect her privacy. 

"I love you all and I appreciate the concern but this is fresh and private. I'm not ready just yet to discuss or go into detail but thank you all for the kind messages and support."

I like this girl 😘 @jessika_power

Despite insisting the split was amicable, doubts have been cast over Jess’ real motives for calling time on the relationship. A report from the Mail Online suggests that the 27-year-old’s new-found singledom conveniently coincides with the announcement that Love Island Australia has been confirmed for another season. Interestingly, Jess started following Love Island Australia’s Instagram account soon after revealing her split from Nick. Fans of Love Island will know contestants are expected to be single in order to take part.

The news of their breakup comes less than a week after Jessika and Nick— who also rose to fame on MAFS— were caught in a public spat after enjoying what was meant to be a romantic vacation in Bali. According to onlookers, Jessika was screaming and swearing at Nick during a heated argument at Ngurah Rai International Airport. 

"We heard some arguing and screaming near one of the lounges and as it got louder my friend and I walked over to have a look," the onlooker told the Daily Mail. "We couldn't believe it when we recognised it was her from Married At First Sight. Quite a few people were looking. She seemed really upset."

"She was so emotional and then they left on different flights back to Australia."

After suffering an ill-fated MAFS marriage to Queensland farmer Mick Gould, later propositioning Nic Jovanovic and then dating Dan Webb, Jess and Nick went public with their relationship in early July.
