Letting off some steam: His relationship with single mum Joanne Todd isn’t exactly going swimmingly on Married At First Sight – and James Susler seemed to have a lot on his mind as he went for a jog in Sydney during filming on October 9
He wore a Ralph Lauren T-shirt and navy Tommy Hilfiger shorts, which he teamed with black Nike sneakers and aviator sunglasses.
At one stage, James stopped to take a breath and stretched out his hamstrings.
Despite being in the middle of a workout, James’ well-groomed hair looked barely out of place.

The businessman was also still wearing his wedding ring, in spite of his marital problems on the show.
On Monday, Married At First Sight viewers saw Joanne and James’ troubled union come to an explosive end.
Joanne revealed they’d had an argument after Sunday’s commitment ceremony, then asked producers if she could sleep in a separate room.
The next morning, Joanne returned to their shared apartment, only to find it empty.
‘It doesn’t even look like he’s slept in the bed. He has kept his wedding band here though,’ she said, after finding his ring in the bathroom.

She added: ‘That’s his wedding ring, and like he said to me, that no matter what happens, he would never take it off.
‘So where’s he gone last night where he doesn’t want to be known that he’s married in an experiment? Like, he’s taken it off.’
Joanne said discovering James’ abandoned wedding ring was ‘very hurtful’ – especially after he ‘humiliated’ her by joking he was ‘in love’ with one of the show’s relationship experts, Alessandra Rampolla, at the commitment ceremony.

When James returned to the apartment, Joanne demanded answers.
However, he told her he ‘just had to get away for a bit’ to clear his head.
‘Why can’t you give me the time of day or speak to me? I tried calling you, I tried messaging you… We’re still supposed to be in this experiment together,’ she fumed.

Joanne reiterated that James walking out on her had been ‘disrespectful’, which prompted him to retaliate with a cutting response.
‘To who? To you? Why is it disrespectful to you? Who are you to me? You’re nothing,’ he told her.
A hurt Joanne stormed out, leaving James alone in their apartment as she declared she was ‘done’ with their marriage.
Married At First Sight continues Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
