Married At First Sight star Carina Mirabile was spotted looking visibly downcast as she strolled through Sydney last year during a break in filming.
The photos, which were taken after she learned her husband Paul Antoine decided to meet up with blonde bombshell Hannah Brown, captured her strolling alone.
Carina appeared downbeat as she drank from a takeaway coffee cup and made her way through a scenic street.
The digital marketing manager kept her look casual in a black one-piece exercise leotard paired with a grey jacket and Nike sneakers.
She wore her jet-black hair in a ponytail and tuned out the world with oversized headphones worn over her ears.
Carina’s casual look was worlds away from her usually glamorous public persona.
Her troubled expression mirrored the turmoil that’s unfolded in her relationship with Paul, who has faced heavy criticism after agreeing to meet Hannah despite Carina’s firm stance against it.
Carina’s outing coincided with one of the most shocking events ever in MAFS, in which the remaining couples had their relationships put to the test on Monday night, in a challenge that has been described as ‘the most f***ed in the show’s history’.
They were given the opportunity to meet with another potential love match the experts found during the audition process.
It seems curiosity got the better of French groom Paul Antoine, who decided to meet up with blonde bombshell Hannah Brown.
This, despite Paul insisting at the beginning of the episode that he and bride Carina could not be in a better place.
‘My relationship with Carina at the moment is absolutely amazing,’ he gushed.
‘I’m just on a little cloud. Our feelings are strong. We are united.’
However, that unity was shaken when Paul was met with the chance to catch up with Hannah.
‘The experts have done an amazing job at matching myself and Carina,’ he said.
‘We are very compatible, so if someone else is out there that is compatible with me I’m very curious.’
For her part, Carina said she had no interest a meeting as it was ‘borderline cheating’.
‘Paul and I are the perfect match,’ she said.
‘We have something so good established. I want us to continue the fairytale. I really like Paul. So, an easy decision – the grass isn’t greener on the other side.
‘My decision is going to be a “no”. It’s black and white. I don’t want to go on a date with another person. It’s borderline cheating.’
However as Carina played the dutiful wife, folding Paul’s underpants and cleaning back at their apartment, her groom was inspecting his options.
Paul’s date was 32-year-old Sydneysider Hannah and the blonde beauty appeared eager to get to know Paul – however the alarm bells quickly started ringing.
She appeared nonplussed when Paul explained he and Carina were very happy and he had agreed to the date out of sheer curiosity.
As her body language toward Paul visibly shifted after his admission, Hannah revealed to producers: ‘I do not want to be in a relationship with someone as curious as Paul.’
And the curious groom received an even frostier reception upon returning to Carina and admitting his ‘indiscretion’.
Instantly sensing Carina’s displeasure with his decision to go on the date, Paul started speaking a mile a minute in an effort to justify his actions.
Carina was having none of it though, explaining to Paul that his sneaky date had embarrassed her, especially after just taking him home to Perth to meet her family.
