MAFS: Connie Crayden’s cheeky response to Matt Agnew dating rumours

Married At First Sight’s Connie Crayden offers a VERY cheeky response to rumours she’s dating The Bachelor’s Matt Agnew

Married At First Sight’s Connie Crayden reportedly ‘hit it off’ with former Bachelor Matt Agnew at a social event in Melbourne recently. 

And on Monday, the marine biology student, 27, spoke about her rumoured romance with the handsome astrophysicist.

She told NW magazine: ‘I have always been attracted to a man with a very big brain. Matt seems like a highly intelligent man.’

Connie added: ‘I’ve always pictured myself with a man who has a PhD under his belt. I’m blushing, so there’s your answer!’

PhD is short for Doctor of Philosophy, a prestigious university degree awarded in recognition of original research. It’s also millennial slang for ‘pretty huge d**k’.

At last week’s commitment ceremony, Connie voted to stay while her ‘husband’, Jonethen Musulin, voted to leave for the third week in a row.

She was labelled a ‘stage-five clinger’ on social media for keeping Jonethen in the experiment, even though she insisted she was staying for her own ‘personal growth’. 

Reflecting on the criticism, she told TV Week: ‘I’m only human and words hurt.  

‘I didn’t want anyone thinking I was clinging on to something that wasn’t there. I’m not an idiot, I knew he’d checked out – even I was done. 

‘I just came in with high hopes that this was going to be it for me.’ 

Awkward! On the MAFS commitment ceremony last week, Connie voted to stay while and her 'husband' Jonethen Musulin was left 'speechless' as he had voted to leave.

It comes after OK! magazine reported on Thursday that Connie and Matt had ‘hit it off’ at an event in Melbourne.

‘Connie was chatting with Matt for ages,’ said an onlooker. ‘They seemed to really hit it off. There was definitely some serious chemistry between them.’

Matt has a history of dating scientists – he previously dated chemical engineer Chelsie McLeod after meeting on The Bachelor, but they split in November.
