MAFS couple Anthony and Selin’s relationship falls apart on honeymoon

A MAFS groom has accused his wife of being fake in front of the camera, as he seemingly fled the experiment after a lighthearted prank went horribly wrong.

One of the most promising couples to emerge on this season of Married At First Sight already appear to have called it quits on their relationship.

Anthony and Selin, who were both smitten on their Monday night wedding, got in an almighty argument on Thursday’s episode, with the groom abandoning his new bride during their honeymoon on NSW’s south coast.

After the wedding, things quickly stalled between the duo as Anthony, who’s been opening doors and running baths for his new wife, finds he’s struggling to break down Selin’s wall.

To dial up the romance, Anthony takes Selin to do a pottery class. The pair seem to be having a good time, with Selin rubbing clay into Anthony’s face as they both laugh it off. But when Anthony turns around and returns serve, a furious Selin feels this was “too far”.

“The rage … I want to put that bucket on his head,” Selin says.

It’s just like Ghost.

“I don’t mind when I’m the one with clay on my face, but Selin takes herself very seriously,” Anthony tells us.

In the car on the way back to their accommodation, Selin asks Anthony why he’s being “cranky”.

“I don’t know what to tell ya,” Anthony says. “You get a bit stroppy sometimes and you’re not much fun to be around. That was fun, you put clay on my face and I put clay on your face.”

But, Selin argues, Anthony’s clay placement was crossing the line.

“You put it in my mouth and in my eye. I can obviously react to it.”

Selin wasn’t having clay to the mouth.

After telling Selin to “have some fun, f**king loosen up”, Anthony storms out of the car and they don’t reconvene until the next day when his attempt at an apology falls flat.

“I feel terrible that I’ve made you feel bad,” he begins, before Selin steps in.

“I felt like, ‘Oh gosh he doesn’t know how to deal with his emotions. Right now, I’m not feeling the spark. I’m not feeling like I’m around someone who can protect me. I’m not saying you’re not a man, but its hard to … I feel like you need a lot,” she says.

A defeated Anthony then accuses Selin of being fake in front of cameras, before packing his bags and fleeing the honeymoon.

“When the cameras are off, she’s a different person. Behind closed doors she’ll be like, ‘Next time we get in front of the camera are you gonna have a little cry?’ Like, goading me,” he says in a piece to camera.

“I tried to be a good person, tried to get along but the effort hasn’t been matched. I’m just not gonna put up with it anymore.”

The episode ends with Anthony leaving the honeymoon with his bags.

Selin does admit to saying “smile princess” to her husband when the cameras weren’t rolling, but that his reaction was unjustified.

“I just said ‘smile princess’ and then he called me a bully,” she says.

“How he reacted is definitely not how a man should act.”
