Married At First Sight’s Ella Ding and Domenica Calarco have unfollowed each other on Instagram, marking the end of their nearly four-year friendship.
The pair, who were recently pictured together, have confirmed that they are no longer on speaking terms, further fuelling rumours of a rift that have been circulating for months.
Ella, 30, and Domenica, 31, both addressed the situation, confirming that their once-strong bond had come to a close.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday, Ella stated, ‘I’ve got nothing to say but I wish her the best of course, always will. All good things come to an end.’
Meanwhile, Domenica echoed her sentiments, saying, ‘We definitely unfollowed each other. I don’t even know where to begin.’
This revelation follows reports that Ella had ‘distanced herself’ from Domenica during a difficult period when she was hospitalised.
Sources close to the pair claimed that Ella treated Domenica ‘like a mental patient’ and acted as though she was a completely different person, which strained their relationship further.
The news of their unfollowing comes just days after the two were seen together in Sydney, quashing earlier rumours of a feud.
Ella had shared an Instagram Story last Thursday showing Domenica in a casual yet stylish outfit.
Domenica was dressed in a red midriff-revealing top paired with blue track pants adorned with red love heart detailing down the sides.
She completed her look with leopard print sandals and posed cheekily for the camera, flipping the bird at Ella in what appeared to be a light-hearted moment between the two.
Despite this seemingly amicable reunion, fans were quick to notice that the former friends had stopped following each other on social media, prompting speculation about what might have happened in the days since their last public appearance together.
The end of their friendship also coincides with the conclusion of their popular podcast, Sit With Us.
The podcast’s abrupt ending left fans wondering if the duo had grown apart.
In an emotional Instagram Story, Ella tried to shut down these speculations, explaining, ‘I wanted to make my personal comment on the Sit With Us podcast and how, yes, it has come to an end. It’s not a sad thing, it’s not a bad thing. It’s a positive. It’s exciting.’
Ella reassured her followers that there was no bad blood between her and Domenica, insisting, ‘There is no issue with Dom and I. There are no problems. It is just a chapter closing, and that is okay! And all good things do come to an end.’
Domenica also shared a heartfelt message on their podcast’s official Facebook page, expressing her gratitude to their fans and explaining the decision to move on.
‘As I sit down to write this, my heart is filled with gratitude for each and every one of you,’ she wrote. ‘Ella and I have come to a joint decision: it is the right time for Sit With Us to come to an end.’
She continued, ‘This decision was not made lightly, and it comes with a mix of emotions. We have loved every moment, and ending this chapter is bittersweet. However, we believe it is the best step forward for both of us.’
While the end of their friendship and podcast has left many fans saddened, Domenica concluded her message with hope for the future, stating, ‘I am excited for what the future holds and am committed to continuing this journey online with the same passion and dedication that has brought us this far.’
