Martha Kalifatidis ‘traumatised’ by Married At First Sight experience as it airs in the UK

Married At First Sight’s Martha Kalifatidis says she feels ‘traumatised’ by her experience on the Channel Nine social experiment as it airs in the UK… but still signed up to appear on the reunion special earlier this year

She’s one of the biggest names to come from the sixth season of Married At First Sight, which is currently airing in the United Kingdom.

But her time on Channel Nine’s social experiment wasn’t as euphoric as it seemed when it aired in Australia in 2019, with Martha Kalifatidis labelling her experience as ‘traumatic’.

Speaking with OK! Online, the 32-year-old explained she felt as if she could not trust anybody after starring on the dating series.

‘I think that what the contestants go through is so traumatic and polarising that afterwards they feel they can’t trust anyone,’ the former bride said.  

Martha’s said her appearance on the show, where she met ‘husband’-turned-boyfriend Michael Brunelli, had her feeling as if she was unable to speak with family or friends because she ‘just couldn’t relax’.

‘You become distanced from your friends and family because it feels like no one can understand you, since they haven’t experienced it themselves, which then isolates you even more, and then it becomes a viscous cycle,’ she said. 

The beauty’s comments come after the Kim Kadashian lookalike and her beau Michael happily signed up to appear on the MAFS reunion special, earlier this year. 

Meanwhile, the brunette also revealed in her interview with the publication that she and Michael, 29, were in the early stages of planning a wedding.

The pair are considering walking down the aisle again – but this time in a legally binding ceremony.

‘I think there may be a wedding on the cards but I guess that’s a question you’ll have to ask Michael!’ she said.
