MAFS' Andrea breaks silence on 'romance rumours' with Timothy
Andrea's 'ex' Richard has also weighed in on the rumours.
Married At First Sight’s Andrea Thompson has addressed rumours that she and her co-star Timothy Smith are now in a romantic relationship.
Yahoo Lifestyle obtained a photo of the pair running errands together on Melbourne’s Chapel Street last week, with an insider telling us they have been “spending an increasing amount of time together”.
The season 11 participants were also photographed enjoying a drink with their co-star Jono McCullough last week, which was shared by @mafsgossip on Instagram and received plenty of speculative comments from fans.
“Tim and Andrea make a nice couple,” one person wrote, while another added, “These two would’ve been a much better match”.
“Tim & Andrea always had eyes for each other. I reckon they will get together,” a third shared, followed by someone else who said, “Tim & Andrea should have been matched from the start”.
