MARRIED At First Sight Australia’s Jules Robinson has slammed Jessika Power’s claims she knew Cameron Merchant before meeting on the show.
Businesswoman Jules branded her co-star’s comments as “disappointing” and “unbelievable” as she discussed her marriage with Cam in a new interview.
Speaking to The Times, the 38-year-old reality star said: “It’s really disappointing. Anyone who knows us knows that’s completely not true.
“We’d have to be bloody good actors, that’s all I can say.”
Although they are happily married now, Jules admitted it wasn’t ‘love at first sight’ but rather “vibe” at first sight as she expected a tall suitor while Cam envisioned a blonde match.
Jules shared: “No, no, it wasn’t love at first sight. Cam wasn’t someone I’d have looked at twice in the street.”
To which, Cam added: “It wasn’t love at first sight, but it was a vibe at first sight”.
Her comments come a week after her co-star Jessika Power bizarrely claimed Jules and Cam knew each other BEFORE meeting on the show.
The 28-year-old – who cheated on her husband before swapping husbands – dropped a bombshell about the show’s success story.
She told Metro: “I have this weird conspiracy theory about Cam and Jules, and everyone thinks I’m weird and insane but I’m sorry…. There’s no way you’re going to meet a complete stranger, do everything that we did, and completely love that person, every aspect.
“They never had one fight, they never had one disagreement, they never had anything. My conspiracy theory is that they were together before the show.
“MAFS hadn’t had a successful couple story in a very, very long time. I feel that they needed to have that, so I think what they’ve done is they found a couple that were already together.”
Despite Jessika’s thoughts about the show being staged, a spokesman for the happy couple insisted: “I can confirm that Cam and Jules had never met before and all contestants genuinely took part in the experiment as strangers.”
The pair got engaged at the end of the show and married in November 2019.
It was originally aired on Australian news show A Current Affair, hosted by presenter Tracy Grimshaw.
The event was held at the Camperdown Commons’ Acre Eatery in Sydney, with MAFS co-stars Heidi, Elizabeth, Cyrell, Mick, Melissa, Billy and Bronson all attending.
Then just six months later the happy couple announced they were expecting a baby together.
Oliver Chase Merchant was born on October 3 last year.
