They looked to be one of the strongest couples in the experiment but Married At First Sight‘s Aleks Markovic and Ivan Sarakula have hit splitsville.

Not only did bride Aleks, 27, admit she doesn’t find Ivan ‘physically attractive’, OK! hears groom Jonethen Musulin and Aleks have connected – with Jonnie, 27, admitting he wished he’d been paired up with Aleks, rather than his TV bride Connie Crayden. Wow!

“He was telling other contestants he wanted to be paired with Aleks over Connie because she was more his type, had a better personality and got his sense of humour!” the source tells OK!.

And despite the fact that Connie, who turns 28 this week, has pulled out all stops to make her marriage work, Jonnie has all but checked out.

“He’s saying he’s going to take Aleks on an “official” date in the very near future,” our source adds.

In fact, OK! has learned that Aleks and Jonnie have already been meeting up!

“They’ve been spending time in Sydney and hanging out at a low-key bar owned by one of Jonnie’s mates,” the source tells.

Jonethen and Aleks have sent tongues wagging with their suggestive social media interactions.

The pair haven’t been working too hard to keep their relationship under wraps after both openly flirted with one another on social media.

“They’ve both been liking and commenting on each other’s pictures,” a fan noticed.

In one of Aleks’ posts, Jonnie wrote, “New hair who dis?” with Aleks cheekily writing back, “@jonethen all for @ivansarakula,” adding a flirtatious winky emoji.

Rumours have also emerged that Aleks and Ivan, 30, have been faking their relationship anyway.

“They both want to be famous and that’s why they’re on the show,” a source tells.

“But in real life, Aleks and Ivan are well and truly over!”
