Married At First Sight bride Jacqui Burfoot has revealed the truth behind recent pregnancy rumours which have emerged in the wake of her engagement to groom Clint Rice.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the reality TV star, 29, shared a direct message she received from a fan congratulating her on her happy news and asking if she was expecting.
Jacqui, who Clint, 44, proposed to during a MAFS viewing party on Sunday evening, was quick to set the record straight as she denied being pregnant.
‘No, we are not expecting and I am not pregnant!’ she wrote in the caption over the top of her fan message.
‘The media have been inaccurate on a lot and I don’t have time to see it all, but they should really fact check on these things when it comes to this because I know it’s a sensitive topic for a lot.
‘Come to me for the facts about my body, and Clint and I for our relationship news.’
It comes after Clint made his shocking proposal over the weekend, with footage of the Tasmanian businessman getting down on one knee being shared to TikTok.
It wasn’t long before an elated Jacqui said ‘yes’, scooping up her hunk and planting a joyous kiss on his smiling lips.
Later in the footage, Jacqui proudly flashed her blinding diamond ring to her adoring MAFS fans as she grinned with glee.
Jacqui and Clint’s relationship was the talk of the town during the dramatic finale of MAFS season 12.
Ryan Donnelly sensationally accused the pair of beginning their romance while Jacqui was still with the groom during filming.
During Monday night’s bombshell final episode, the controversial bride took to the couch with Ryan, 36, to discuss their three-month marriage and watch it play out on the screen.
However, despite rumours she and fellow participant Clint struck up a romance during filming, she has stayed firm on the fact they only connected after the experiment.
‘After Final Vows things ended pretty badly and I was pretty sad for about two weeks and crying. Clint and I had started talking and we developed a friendship,’ Jacqui told the experts.
‘We started bonding over our shared experience in the experiment and how disappointed we essentially were and then Clint invited me down to Tasmania.
‘So, I just took the leap, flew down with a one way ticket there and we just hit it off,’ she said, adding they have a lot in common and hate being away from each other.
Jacqui then dropped another bombshell about her exciting future with the pro-golfer.
‘Now I’m moving in with Clint,’ she shared.
However, the group’s reaction to the news set the bride off.
Her fellow MAFS participants burst out laughing while expressing their shock at the quick pace of Jacqui’s relationship.
‘Why is that funny?’ she questioned the group, wearing a serious face.
‘Everyone in this room signed up for an experiment where you were gonna marry a stranger, you were gonna spend three months of your lives [together]. It’s not a big deal. You all did the same thing.’
However, Jacqui’s former husband Ryan refused to believe she was loyal to him in the relationship, particularly due to the fast progression of her and Clint’s relationship.
‘I was living with her when you were talking to her mate,’ Ryan sensationally accused Clint.
‘I was there when we all exchanged numbers the first week that Clint came into the experiment,’ Ryan added.
He went on to say he didn’t mind the pair chatting as friends, however he did not realise the depth of their texts.
‘Jacqui told me and, actually, Clint confirmed it that after one of the commitment ceremonies, Jacqui called Clint at 3am,’ he said.
What’s more, Ryan claimed after rumours swirled about the pair just before Final Vows, he called Jacqui to ask if she was seeing Clint, which she denied, saying she really ‘loves’ Ryan and wouldn’t ‘disrespect’ him in that way.
However, Jacqui was having none of it and shut down Ryan’s accusations.
‘That’s not what happened,’ she said.
‘I’m so sick of it Ryan,’ she added, before he sensationally replied: ‘Sick of what? Being held accountable for your actions?’
