Tamara was confronted about texting Mitch on the show

At the final Dinner Party, Tamara was confronted about texting Mitch ahead of exchanging final vows with her husband, Brent Vitiello. It led to the two of them deciding not to go ahead with marrying each other, exchanging some vicious words at the altar.

Meanwhile, Ella and Mitch appeared as a united front and continued along with the experiment. However, it appears that the marriage between the Victoria-based beautician and the financial planner from Queensland broke down just days before filming the reunion episode in January of this year.

And since then, Ella has been vocal about the fact that she now believes that Mitch and Tamara were in a relationship behind her back. Speaking on the Australian radio show Allan & Carly recently, she said: "The word is that they are together, and they have been for a while. That's what we've all been told. And the speculation is that it's been going on for quite a long time, and potentially even before filming."

Ella has accused the pair of dating behind her back

She continued: "I mean, it would make sense if they were kind of something this whole time, because no wonder Mitch wasn't committed... it would make sense. I don't even know the answers, and I don't think we'll ever get the answers."

Meanwhile, things have only gotten more complicated recently as it appears that there could be a romance brewing between the two wronged exes, Ella and Brent. Speaking to New Idea, Brent said: "Me and Ella have spoken. We are really, really close. We've had the conversation that if we had been matched, things would've turned out amazingly and we were a lot more suited."

He added that they hadn't taken things beyond a friendship because Ella was still healing after her split from ex Mitch, adding: "We are just spending time together as really good friends, and if something happens, it does; if it doesn't, it doesn't. We're kind of open to both of it."
