Married At First Sight Australia: The secret friendship you won’t see on the show

Married At First Sight EXCLUSIVE: Jake Edwards and Cameron Dunne ‘bonded over their failing marriages’ – as their unlikely friendship is revealed

You wouldn’t know it from watching the show, but Married At First Sight’s Jake Edwards and Cameron Dunne became unlikely friends during filming last year.

The two men, both 32, formed a close bond on set, and even went out together several times – although their outings weren’t included in any storyline.

The grooms ‘bonded over their failing marriages’, a source said, with Jake unhappily paired with Beck Zemek and Cameron stuck with Samantha Harvey.

A well-placed insider claimed the pair formed a friendship while regularly catching up to discuss their turbulent TV marriages.

Last month, the pair were thick as thieves during a break from filming after they returned to Sydney to shoot the reunion episode.

Cameron also discreetly showed his support for Jake on the show this week by wearing an item from his clothing brand, Speak Clothing.

Meanwhile, Jake has been spotted wearing a range of different Speak T-shirts, singlets and hats during his time on Nine’s social experiment. 

He teamed up with Melbourne professional boxer Adam Fenton to launch the brand back in 2018.

All profits are donated to charity every three months.

It comes just days after Daily Mail Australia revealed Cameron had consulted Jake during filming hours before meeting with Coco Stedman for a secret rendezvous.

According to an eyewitness, a nervous Cameron was pacing up and down the lower lobby of the Skye Suites apartment complex when Jake walked over for a chat.

‘Jake could see Cam looking tense while waiting for a producer and walked over to see how he was going,’ the on-set spy said. 

Cameron and Coco’s affair will play out on Married At First Sight in the coming weeks, with a recent trailer showing them kissing for the first time.
