Married At First Sight‘s boys’ night was a tense affair when Dion Giannarelli and Daniel Holmes came face-to-face.
The last time they were in the same room was when Daniel and Dion’s wife Carolina Santos’ affair was brought to light in the middle of a Commitment Ceremony. The couple controversially asked to re-enter the experiment together but were shut down by the experts and asked to leave.
When Daniel arrived at the boys’ night, the air was tense, and Dion was quick to blast him at the table.
“The way you handled yourself is truly disgusting, disrespectful, to not only me, to every person sitting here and to this experiment,” Dion said. “Carolina. She threw away a diamond, and she picked up a rock.”
Dion and Daniel went head-to-head at boys’ night.

“Yes Dion I’m sorry your feelings got hurt. I can’t say that enough. But come on like, how many Oscar awards do you want for these big elaborate speeches,” he said.
Daniel, who is currently still dating Carolina post-show, also stood by his affair and shared he would do it all over again, which didn’t bode well with Carolina’s on-screen ex.
“Obviously, things had to be said between Daniel and I,” Dion told 9Entertainment.
“I basically told him how I felt and that I don’t agree with the way he handled it. I don’t think it was an honourable way of doing it, and I found it quite childish and immature.”
Dion didn’t find Daniel’s apology sincere enough.

“Daniel’s sort of response was, ‘Oh look I apologise but I’d do it a thousand times over’,” he said.
“It wasn’t very sincere. It wasn’t humble. It wasn’t anything. It was just ‘I don’t care’ sort of thing.”
Despite the ordeal, Daniel and Carolina told radio duo Fitzy and Wippa on Thursday morning that they’re happy and don’t care what people think of their relationship.
When Fitzy asked, “When you go out into public now people have this perception of you. And that’s the way that’s your morals and your values. Are you okay with that?”
Daniel confidently asserted, “Let me answer that. Don’t give a s–t.”
Fitzy also questioned their decision to re-enter the show together even though it was causing issues with other contestants.
“Carolina and I are in love.”

It appears their risk paid off because Daniel revealed to TV WEEK that their relationship is going well, and they have even moved in together.
“Carolina and I are in love,” he said. “We’ve had our own struggles, coming together the way in which we did and the pressure it’s brought, but that’s only made us stronger as a couple.”
