‘Our values, wants, needs and lifestyles didn’t align, and that’s ok. I wish him nothing but the best,’ Aleks wrote on Instagram at the time. 

‘Please respect my privacy on the matter as just like anyone out in the “real” world, some relationships just don’t work out.’

Meanwhile, Ivan similarly insisted there was no animosity and described their short-lived relationship as ‘magical’.

'Ivan and I are two completely different people. We are civil and he will always be someone I respect for giving me his time in the experiment,' she wrote

‘Mine and Aleks’ relationship is a magical one that I’m sure everybody wants answers on and one I can only speak about in the highest light…’ he wrote at the time. 

‘Our relationship is one that I pay a high level of respect and gratefulness towards.’

Despite forming a close bond, Aleks and Ivan often left their MAFS co-stars bewildered by their relationship, which seemed more like a friendship.

They went out of their way to avoid discussing intimacy at the group dinners, and refused to reveal whether or not they’d actually consummated their ‘marriage’.

During one of the show’s heated group dinner parties, Aleks was even accused of cheating on Ivan with a man she’d recently met at a ‘Serbian event’.

A furious Aleks denied the accusations, before she and Ivan both stormed out.
