Married At First Sight star Domenica Calarco makes bombshell claims her ex-best friend Ella Ding 'stole' from her - after slamming her sponsored pregnancy post
Domenica Calarco has taken another savage swipe at her ex-best friend Ella Ding, accusing the Married At First Sight star of stealing from her. The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star, 32, also slammed her former podcast co-host, 31, last week for making a sponsored pregnancy announcement. But now it seems their online feud has gone to another level as Domenica alleged Ella and her brother 'stole' something from the former reality TV star. Domenica made the serious accusation—which is unproven—in the comments section of an article about Ella defending herself against recent backlash. The podcaster wrote: 'Nah just pissed cos she needs MORE money after her and her brother stole from me. It's okay, the story is coming.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ella and Domenica for further comment on the matter. It comes after Domenica called out her former best friend Ella for announcing her pregnancy with a sponsored post. Ella took to Instagram last Tuesday morning to announce the exciting news alongside a series of photos including a positive Clearblue pregnancy test. 'Somewhere between healing and hustling, the next chapter quietly chose us,' she captioned her post. 'Baby Palermo you've already made our story sweeter & given us the best news of 2025 yet #ad #ClearblueConfirmed.' The announcement was reposted by the @ Instagram page. Domenica took to the comments section to slam Ella for 'monetising her pregnancy'. 'Even has to monetise her pregnancy announcement. Some people will never change. Wow,' she wrote. Ella's pregnancy was announced two months after Domenica revealed she was expecting her first child. In March, Domenica posted a series of clips showing her positive pregnancy test, her ultrasound and telling her friends and family. She captioned the sweet post: 'Been a little MIA working on my greatest project yet... Baby.' She added: 'Due September 2025 #pregnancyannouncement #pregnancy #pregnant.' Days after her announcement, Domenica exclusively confirmed to Daily Mail Australia she will be raising her child as a single mum, as she addressed the breakup rumours with Bondi skater Jarod Bogunovich. Domenica and Ella pulled the plug on their podcast Sit With Us in August 2024, and rumours have swirled it was due to an interpersonal conflict. On a recent episode of Domenica's new podcast Mad Woman, she explained where the rift with Ella really began. 'The breakdown of our friendship really started when the backlash from Sit With Us happened,' she began, referring to the controversial conversation the podcasters had with MAFS 2024 'villain' Jack Dunkley. The controversy erupted after Domenica and Ella faced criticism for their interview with Jack, who previously sparked outrage by telling co-star Jonathan McCullough to 'muzzle' his wife Lauren Dunn during a dinner party. The interview prompted a heated response from fellow media personality Abbie Chatfield, further intensifying the scrutiny on the podcast hosts at the time. Domenica said she and Ella 'had very differing opinions and views on the way to handle the situation. For me, I wanted to face it head on, I didn't want to bury my head in the sand.' At the time, Domenica's social media posts were inundated with comments from fans asking her to address the podcast controversy. While Domenica chose not to provide a statement during this period, she did assure several fans she and Ella would be responding to the backlash 'very soon'. Domenica and Ella have since unfollowed each other on Instagram, marking the end of their nearly four-year friendship.

The former reality TV star, 31, exclusively confirmed to Daily Mail Australia in March that she had split from her boyfriend Jarod Bogunovich, days after announcing she was pregnant. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Domenica sat down in front of the camera and filmed the video barefaced, wearing a green-and-white dressing gown as she completed her nighttime skincare routine. In the clip, the former reality star admitted to feeling unusually sad and emotional for no apparent reason. 'Today I went to the obstetrician. I saw my doctor, I saw baby, and I had a good day. But for some reason, I've been really down today,' she shared in a video uploaded to TikTok. 'I've been really sad and emotional for what seems to be no reason. 'The more that I think about it, I know the reason. I know that I have so many hormones coursing through my body right now and I know that I've been through a lot in the last six months.' Domenica added that she remained hopeful, as she prepares to welcome her first child. 'I'm not crying for any particular reason,' she continued. 'I'm crying purely because of the hormones. Yes, I'm sad that I've struggled through my pregnancy. I'm sad that I struggled through my first trimester.' She reminded herself that tomorrow is a new chapter and a chance to feel better. 'Sometimes I forget to stop and look inwards at my life and go, "You're allowed to be sad Domenica",' she said. 'This is the thing about being pregnant and hormonal – it doesn't discriminate. This is when my anxiety and depression comes in. It can hit you at any time. 'I'm coming on here to say if you need to have a cry today and get rid of some emotions - do it. 'Have a cry and know that tomorrow is a new day.' Domenica ended her video by saying she intended to have a hot shower, get into bed and watch some 'pointless' TV, and wake up feeling refreshed. 'It's okay to be sad sometimes. It's totally fine to have a sad day. I've had a shower and I'm going to watch some pointless TV and get in bed. Tomorrow is a new day.' Domenica, who rose to fame in 2022 on season nine of the hit series, told Daily Mail she is embracing the journey to solo parenthood 'wholeheartedly'. 'Been a little MIA working on my greatest project the MAFS alum captioned her pregnancy announcement post in March. She added: 'Due September 2025 #pregnancyannouncement #pregnant.' Domenica's followers noticed there was no sign or mention of Jarod in the announcement, and took to the comment section to ask if everything was all right. 'I am incredibly excited about this next chapter in my life and feel truly empowered by my decision to step into motherhood on my own terms,' she said. 'While I will be welcoming this baby as a single mum, I am grateful to have the support of the father in a co-parenting capacity.' Domenica asked fans to respect her privacy regarding her relationship breakdown. Earlier this year, Domenica sparked concern that she had split from her boyfriend Jarod by deleting all trace of the Bondi skater from her social media. The brunette bombshell set off an internet firestorm when she commented on a TikTok by influencer Sasha Morpeth, who was discussing a painful breakup: 'Join the club, argh,' she wrote. The pair had gone Instagram Official in September, after rekindling their romance after Domenica's MAFS marriage to Jack Millar crumbled. Domenica and Jarod met on Bumble in 2021, and she went on a date with him before she was cast on Australia's ratings bonanza television show. In her Instagram Stories, Dom revealed she was 14 weeks pregnant. Jarod was absent from the post. As recently as last October, Domenica told Daily Mail Australia 'the universe brought me a good one,' as she detailed their romance. 'Jarrod stuck by me,' she continued, referring to the period of time she spent in hospital working on her mental health after a very pubic friendship break up with her ex podcast host Ella Ding.
