MAFS' Olivia and Jackson split after cheating scandal: 'Heartbroken'

Married At First Sight stars Olivia Frazer and boyfriend Jackson Lonie were rocked by a cheating scandal on Saturday when a photo emerged of Jackson kissing another woman in Melbourne.

Yahoo Lifestyle can now reveal that the couple has now officially split, leaving Olivia heartbroken as she believed Jackson was ‘the love of her life’ and hoped to start a family with the MAFS star.

A friend of the couple tells Yahoo Lifestyle: “As of right now, they’re officially over. Jackson didn’t really apologise but instead said he hasn’t been happy for a while, which broke Olivia’s heart more."

“She’s now planning on heading overseas without him to stay a while with relatives."

The ‘intense’ backlash towards ‘villain’ Olivia has taken a toll on their relationship, and the star has found it difficult to find anyone who will employ her, which Jackson wasn’t prepared for.

Our source continues, saying: “Everything has been such an intense whirlwind since the show started airing and they haven’t spent more than a day apart. The pressure has got to them."

“When the show wrapped filming, Jackson knew the next couple of months would be tough - but he never thought he’d have to leave his life in Melbourne behind, spend every day defending Olivia to the whole country while paying her way as no one will employ her. This isn’t what he signed up for.”

'The kiss was innocent'

Shortly after the image surfaced on social media on Saturday, Yahoo Lifestyle spoke with the brunette woman named Hannah Hughes about what really happened.

"It was last night, I’d gone out with some girlfriends to dance and have some fun," the 20-year-old detailed.

"My friend pointed him out, so we approached him and had small talk. Olivia was not there, I’m fairly sure she left prior to me arriving. The kiss was innocent, a two-way street. It wasn’t anything more than that.

"Jackson seems like a nice guy and I have nothing bad to say on his behalf at all."

Olivia has been open about her struggles with her mental health after the show aired, saying that while she found ‘the love of her life’ on MAFS, she would not let her ‘worst enemy’ go on the show.

She recently spoke out about how she was feeling, saying that she’s ‘suicidal’ but did not want to take her life as she didn't want Jackson to come home to that.

The star did tell Yahoo Lifestyle that she was feeling ‘a lot more out of the woods’ earlier this month, but losing Jackson may have a big impact on Olivia.

The news of the couple’s split comes just a few days after Olivia officially launched her account on the adult subscription-based website, OnlyFans.

Eagle eyed-fans have pointed out that she continued to post images on OnlyFans not long after Jackson’s cheating scandal, wondering if it was all a publicity stunt. However, users can schedule posts in advance so it’s possible Olivia had the content planned prior to her break-up.
