Married At First Sight bride Jamie Marinos has continued to fuel romance rumours after her recent flirty comments about groom Eliot Donovan hinted at a couple swap.
Jamie, 28, who was initially paired with Dave Hand, and Eliot, 35, who was partnered with Veronica Cloherty, had tongues wagging over the weekend after they shared a bed at Daily Mail Australia’s exclusive reunion party.
Now, the account manager has broken her silence on speculation about their relationship as she appeared on Nine’s Today Show on Tuesday.
When asked if she was ‘on’ with former groom Eliot by Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, Jamie let out a nervous giggle.
She then informed the breakfast show hosts she hadn’t seen the Queensland-based business-owner since the reunion dinner, which was held on Sunday night.
Jamie went on to reveal the pair developed a close friendship during filming which has since carried into real life, before hinting at romance on the horizon.
Married At First Sight bride Jamie Marinos, 28, has continued to fuel romance rumours after her recent flirty comments about groom Eliot Donovan, 35, hinted at a couple swap
‘I mean, it’s not the worst thing that could happen,’ she said.
Karl, 50, let out an ‘oh yeah’ at the flirty response and had a little dance at the prospect of another post-MAFS couple swap.
‘I mean, he’s only human guys,’ Jamie quipped, as the presenters let out a chuckle.
However, Sarah, 39, then turned the heat on Jamie, asking if something could blossom between the unlikely duo.
Of course, in typical Jamie fashion, she turned to humour to dodge the question.
‘We would make the funniest TikToks!’ she said, adding they would ‘break the internet’.
Jamie and Eliot began as bitter rivals when the groom first walked out of the experiment during his honeymoon with Lauren Hall, only to return later with bride Veronica.
But the pair have since developed a blossoming friendship, which appeared to come to a head at Daily Mail Australia’s exclusive Reunion Dinner at the Ovolo Hotel in Woolloomooloo where they shared a bed together on Saturday night.

In exclusive footage, the fan-favourite bride said viewers were worried about what happened between her groom Dave and Veronica, but joked they should have been worried about her and Eliot instead.
The moment began when Eliot read out a question about his experience on MAFS.
‘Did you ever hook up with or kiss another MAFS cast member who wasn’t your match?’ he read, as his co-stars began to laugh.
Eliot looked bashful as he shrugged his shoulders and seemed reluctant to answer as Jamie quickly touched his arm and said: ‘Sit down, Eliot.’
But Awhina Rutene promptly shouted out, ‘What did I walk into this morning, Eliot?’ hinting she caught Jamie and the groom in bed together.
‘Not yet. Not yet,’ Eliot said of his romantic experiences with other brides, with Jamie agreeing: ‘The night is young guys. Don’t c*** block me.’
Jamie and Eliot also seemed unable to keep their hands off each other during the reunion dinner, as the groom was seen placing his arm around the bride and across the back of her chair while they sat with each other.
At one point, as a waiter handed Jamie a cocktail, she gestured for them to hand one to Eliot too, saying: ‘Oh, thank you. Oh, and then one for my husband.’

As everyone looked at her in a state of shock, she added: ‘Sucked in guys. You thought it was Dave and Veronica!’
Another moment saw Awhina, 31, tease Jamie about how she missed frequently having sex with her former groom Dave with Jamie making yet another raunchy comment about Eliot.
‘That’s what Eliot’s for… And you thought it was Dave and Veronica. Fools!’ she said.
It seems the unlikely pair bonded after they were left heartbroken when their respective matches developed a close relationship during Feedback Week when couples were asked to swap partners.
