The photos were taken at the music event back in January, but were only shared by the Perth-based marriage celebrant after weeks of whispers the pair were an item.

MAFS viewers will recall both Jesse and makeup artist Janelle were cheated on by their respected partners, Claire Nomarhas and Adam Seed.

The couple watched the cheating episode together when it aired.

Drama played out on the reality program after Claire came clean to Jesse that she had kissed Adam on a night out, weeks after initially denying anything happened.

As a result, Jesse and Janelle bonded over their heartbreak and it seems love soon blossomed once filming of the series wrapped.

In a podcast appearance last week, Janelle – who recently moved from Perth to Sydney – confirmed they were “more than friends”, explaining they “trauma bonded” after being betrayed.

“There was a moment before I left for Sydney that me and Jesse were hanging out heaps, it was at the peak of when the cheating scandal came out [on TV] and potentially [it was] a trauma bond but we grew very close and we did share one peck,” she said on the Back to Reality podcast with former MAFS participant Al Perkins and Taku Chimwaza.

“There was a period where we both definitely liked each other, I was drunk one night and I told him that I had a low-key crush on him,” she added.

“But he’s been pretty vocal that I am his type as well, so it wasn’t weird territory.”
