EXCLUSIVE
MARRIED AT First Sight star Tracey Jewel has denied she was privately catching up with an ex boyfriend off screen, while taking the high moral ground with her TV partner Dean Wells on screen.
Jewel and Wells wed in a non-binding ceremony for the hit Channel Nine program and proved the most controversial pairing as Wells cheated on her with co-star Davina Rankin.
During this time, Jewel solicited national sympathy for her broken heart, but her ex-boyfriend, Patrick Kedemos, a Perth businessman and former diplomat, claims that Jewel caught up with him halfway through her union with Wells.

Kedemos confirmed he had seen Jewel between October and December, 2017, coinciding with production of Married At First Sight and her marriage to Wells.
Kedemos, 45, and Jewel, 35, began their relationship in 2016 but had split in late June, 2017.
Kedemos would not be drawn on the details of their reignighted relationship but News Corp has learned the pair were calling and texting one another during the show’s production.
They spent a weekend together in Sydney on November 17-19, during an off-weekend from filming.
It is understood Wells had no knowledge of Jewel’s meeting with Kedemos.
Kedemos also claims Jewel met with him when she was in Perth for the show to introduce Wells to her family.
News Corp understands Kedemos and Jewel were in daily contact during the show and were making plans for the future.
Speaking through her lawyer, Jewel denied ever catching up with Kedemos after their breakup.
Kedemos claims he and Jewel parted ways two weeks after filming wrapped in December, 2017.
“Tracey Jewel and I met in September 2016 and have had a rich relationship throughout 2017,” said Kedemos.
“Being a private person, I have consistently abstained from making any comment despite numerous media solicitations regarding several aspects of our relationship.
“She has chosen to live in the public eye, I have not. I wish her well.”
