My Kitchen Rules star Romel's sex app outrage

"The Grindr profile isn't mine!" - by Nadia Elshawarby
  • 01 Oct 2019

My Kitchen Rules star Romel Kouyan has found himself embroiled in a bizarre new rumour after a local publication claimed he was using gay hook-up app Grindr to meet men.

The reality star denied using the app after the publication posted screen shots of his alleged profile.

“It's so silly - the profile on Grindr isn't mine,” he said in a statement to Daily Mail Australia.

"Ive known about the profile for a couple of weeks.

"A mate had seen it and taken a screenshot and sent it to me - he reported the profile and they've removed [my] picture."

The MKR star went on to explain that if he was to genuinely use the app, he would be sure not to use a real photo of himself.

He added that he'd “have a blank profile to remain anonymous and pick who he chooses to chat with.”

However, the reality star was keen to stress that there is no shame in using Grindr.

"I know professionals who are time poor that finding dating apps the easier option,” he said.

Earlier this year, Romel and his MKR teammate, Ibby Moubadder revealed they were left in debt by thousands of dollars after failing to win the culinary reality show, with the socialites revealing that they had injected $30,000 of their own cash in a desperate bid to win the $250,000 MKR prize money.

We are almost at the end of our @mykitchenrules journey, and what a journey it has been. I never thought I was capable of working as hard as I did during filming, it took a lot of will power and dedication to get to where we are. Which leads me to my partner in crime @ibby.moubadder. Words can't express the love I have for you. You pushed me and inspired me to keep going when I had nothing more to give. You are one of the hardest working individuals I have ever come across and have loved having you by my side sharing an experience only you and I will ever understand. Wether we win or not, the one thing I have gained through this experience is someone I consider to be my brother. You have an amazing heart and I can't wait to see where this journey leads us. Last but certainly not least, thank you to @channel7 and @mykitchenrules for all the love and support you have shown us ♥️
