Married At First Sight Australia star Julia Vogl has publicly confirmed her new same-sex relationship on TikTok, despite still being married to her on-screen husband Grayson McIvor in episodes currently airing. The 35-year-old confidence consultant hard-launched her romance with a girlfriend, sharing a video of the couple hugging and laughing with the caption: 'She just gets me…'
Julia, who identified as bisexual during her first episode, met her new partner during singing lessons after filming wrapped. Speaking on the podcast MAFS: After the Dinner Party, she said: 'Two months after the experiment finished, I went to do a singing lesson with this particular woman... I realised I didn't really want her to be my singing teacher and we've been seeing each other since then.'
The relationship marks the end of her marriage to Grayson McIvor, 34, which broke down during the third commitment ceremony. Grayson had previously predicted Julia would be better matched with a woman, telling Mamamia: 'I do think she wanted to actually be matched with a woman. Throughout the experiment, I was unsure, but watching it back now, it's become evident to me.'
Grayson also expressed confusion over why the experts matched them, citing a lack of common interests and Julia's focus on emotional connection over physical intimacy. He said: 'She said to me two days into the honeymoon that she was not sure if she wanted to be there... I feel like those boxes weren't ticked [with me].'
