Married At First Sight’s Drew Brauer FINALLY reveals the TRUTH about ‘dating’ his ‘hot housemate’ Jessie McKenzie – after ‘wife’ KC Osborne moves on with Michael Goonan
Married At First Sight star Drew Brauer has battled reports he is dating his ‘hot roommate’ Jessie McKenzie since he first appeared on the show.
And now, the 32-year-old has finally set the record straight about the rumours during an Instagram Q&A on Monday.
‘[She’s more] like a sister,’ the Cairns singer said. He then clarified: ‘[We’ve] never hooked-up, never will.’

He explained that Jessie is actually seeing one of his friends, with the loved-up couple actually dating for the entire time.
‘She’s actually seeing one of my good mates. [And] Ummm and has been the whole time,’ he revealed.
The revelation comes amid a report in NW magazine on Monday, which said Drew and Jessie were ‘exclusively dating’ after the show.

Just friends! ‘[She’s more] like a sister,’ Drew said candidly in response to the question, before clarifying: ‘[We’ve] never hooked-up, never will.’
‘It took Drew to go on the show for them to both realise how much they mean to each other,’ a source allegedly told the publication.
‘They’ve told us they’re exclusively dating.’
Jessie is a 27-year-old retail worker from Cairns, who lives in the same house as Drew.

Throughout the season, Drew made multiple references to his housemate Jessie, which sparked KC’s suspicions that they were more than friends.
At one point, KC found a Rick and Morty doll that Drew explained was sprayed with Jessie’s perfume so he wouldn’t forget her scent.
After the episode aired, Jessie appeared to take a cheeky dig at KC by changing her Instagram profile picture to a photo of the toy in question.

During the home stays, KC flew to Cairns to live with Drew at his house – but Jessie was noticeably absent.
Jessie and Drew have been living together for almost a year, and they enjoy socialising with each other as much as possible.
During their final vows last week, Drew and KC agreed to a long distance relationship between Cairns and Sydney, which did not pan out.
‘For this, MAFS, I do thank you, however I think I might stick to the more conventional ways of finding love from now on. Haha,’ Drew said after the show ended. Here with KC (L)
And on Sunday, the end of their relationship was largely edited out of the MAFS finale, leaving it to play out off-screen.
After the episode, Drew posted a picture of himself and KC to Instagram, captioned: ‘Unfortunately I didn’t find my happy ever after, but I did find a LOT out about myself.
It was later confirmed that KC is dating co-star, Michael Goonan, in the first partner swap of the season.
