Married At First Sight groom Teejay Halkias makes VERY surprising admission about his relationship with ex-wife Beth Kelly after series drama
Married At First Sight star Teejay Halkias has revealed he made a move to reconnect with his TV wife Beth Kelly after their dramatic breakup.
The 29-year-old groom made the shock admission he felt compelled to check in on Beth, 28, once filming was over.
'I tried to reach out and make sure she was doing okay. I know she was pretty upset during the show,' he told 9Entertainment.
'She wanted to chat about a few things, so we had a chat and that was that. We had a long conversation, it was good.'
While the reunion wasn't romantic, Teejay said their relationship is now on friendly terms.

'Things are obviously platonic between Beth and I. It won't be anything romantic... but amicable,' he said.
'If we see each other out we'll speak to each other and whatnot, but I wouldn't say we're best friends.'
It comes after Beth dramatically ended her relationship with Teejay just days before the couple were due to face one another at Final Vows.
In March, the hair salon manager from the Gold Coast made the heartbreaking decision to walk away from the experiment after weeks of feeling rejected by her TV husband.
Beth blindsided viewers and Teejay alike by calling it quits as the pair packed up their belongings at the eleventh hour, following an emotional fallout at the final dinner party.
Breaking down in tears, Beth confessed: 'That conversation [at the Dinner Party] has made me feel so s**t.
'It's obvious he doesn't want me, doesn't want this relationship, and I can't go to Final Vows and stand in front of someone that I've had feelings for, confess that I wanted a future with them, for them to tell me that again.'
Visibly upset, she added: 'I don't see a future with you. I'm not gonna put my energy into it. I'm not wasting my time anymore. Oh God, I'm so sick of crying'.
The brunette beauty, who wore minimal makeup and a simple white tank top as she sobbed during the emotional scene, reflected on how far they had fallen from the promising start of their relationship.
'I genuinely thought that we would walk out of this experiment together,' she said. 'I thought we were perfectly matched and now from going from that to where we are… it's so sad it didn't work out.'
Beth's shock decision came just days after she sat down with Daily Mail Australia to reveal the real reason behind her choice to quit the experiment early.
She admitted she reached breaking point after Teejay, a business development manager from Melbourne, repeatedly made it clear he wasn't invested in their relationship.
'My reason for leaving was purely because Teejay wrote 'leave.' He was obviously completely checked out,' Beth said.
'I don't think you can tell a person you don't wanna be with them any more than that.'
The fiery brunette admitted she initially tried to salvage their relationship but eventually realised she was 'chasing someone who didn't want me'.

Romeo Beckham's feud with brother Brooklyn deepens as tensions over Kim split escalate
AS Brooklyn Beckham lay draped across his wife Nicola Peltz in his most damning interview yet - his younger brother was going through a break up. After months of escalating tension amongst the once tight-knight Beckham family - Romeo and Kim Turnbull decided to call it quits. 5 But model Romeo, 22, didn't take the decision lightly and is said to be furious about how Kim, 26, was made the scapegoat for the family fallout. Insiders say he is not yet ready to forgive Brooklyn, 26, - after he is said to have refused to attend any family events if Kim was in attendance. The pair were thought to have dated briefly when they were teenagers - years before she met Romeo. The legacy has been an awkward issue between the two brothers which has been allowed to simmer again as Brooklyn distanced himself from his family. Mum Victoria and Dad David are said to be desperate to sort the situation with insiders revealing they are continuing to include Brooklyn where they can. A source close to the family told The Sun: 'Romeo is still very unhappy about how everything played out and that no one stepped in to support Kim. 'He doesn't understand why people can't see it's clearly not Kim who is the issue and has pointed out that Nicola had fallen out with the family before.' Romeo's break up with Kim is said not to be about the feud but friends can't help but wonder if the stress played a part in it. The insider continued: 'Romeo hates that Brooklyn will be smug about this because he's got his way and they all feel he can't just waltz back in after everything that has happened. "Romeo is upset about how Kim has been treated and still really cares for her.' The situation has left their parents with a new family challenge, with insiders telling us: 'David and Victoria are torn - they hate not speaking to Brooklyn but they are hurt by all the upset he has caused with his actions and there needs to be talks with them all.' The next public family event will be the premiere of Victoria's new show later this year and they have already started laying the groundwork to make sure Brooklyn is there. 'They have never stopped inviting Brooklyn and Nicola to events and trying to include them - it's very much in their court now.' An insider said David Beckham to finally be awarded knighthood after string of near misses & disappointments over more than a decade Those close to the family have said they are concerned Nicola has become a controlling presence in Brooklyn's life — with him no longer speaking to his parents or his siblings. Contact with his grandparents is also said to have been cut, with the family fearing he was being 'held hostage' by Nicola, who is accused of being hell bent on driving a wedge between them. But sources close to Nicola have been firing back, claiming she is being painted as the Gen Z version of Meghan Markle. They say she has done nothing but be a loving and devoted wife. Just last week the family were blindsided when the couple took a series of targeted swipes at them in a new interview. And fans were horrified to spot that Brooklyn has started to cover up his beloved Mama's boy tattoo - replacing it with a large floral design instead. Brooklyn has more than 100 tattoos and, in his latest Glamour interview, he was asked about which are 'particularly important' to him. Tellingly - his other tribute to his mum - a massive heart on his left shoulder with 'mum' written inside it, which he got in 2018, doesn't get a mention. Nor does the one dedicated to his dad, which saw him ink David's middle name Joseph — the same moniker handed down to Brooklyn — on his lower left arm three years ago. But while Victoria and David are willing to look past the slight, his fiercely loyal brothers could take more work - particularly newly single Romeo. Both brothers often speak about the importance of family - but it's time they start practising what they preach. 5

'Everything is swollen & my eyes have puss [sic] coming out of them!' Shona said her day started trying not to cry but it quickly spiralled. 'I started the day trying not to cry and ended up spending my day crying,' she admitted. 'I've left eye casualty now – I wasn't actually there for long – but I cried again because she said I can't use anything on my face. 'And I cried again because I've got my acne under control with the skincare I use and I just imagined that all going back to where it was before.' The telly favourite said she left the hospital with no prescription, but a firm warning to ditch her current eye drops. MAFS' Shona hits back at trolls who branded her promise ring 'pointless' after reunion 'proposal' 'They said not to take the antihistamine drops the pharmacist gave me, to continue taking the Chlorphenamine tablets (drowsy antihistamine tablets) and just put a cold compress on till the swelling goes down.' Doctors also advised her to avoid putting anything on her face and figure out what she might be allergic to. The reality star found fame on Married at First Sight UK in 2023 but left the show early because of her unhealthy relationship with Brad Skelly. She met her boyfriend Matt Pilmoor soon after through the show. The Sun told how Shona had found love with Matt, despite tying the knot to different people on the series. Matt married Adrienne Naylor, but the pair struggled to hit it off straight away. A REAL WEDDING Matt told OK! Magazine: 'We definitely want to get married. Getting married abroad would be lovely but, logistically, we would do it in the UK for family coming and stuff like that.' Shona continued: 'Yeah, we've spoken about getting married. Matt has said he will wear a kilt because my family are Scottish. We would get married here in the UK and have an amazing honeymoon, maybe in Bali. We've spoken about engagement rings, we just need the money first.'
