Married At First Sight bride Brook Crompton has been photographed wearing what appears to be an engagement ring, adding another twist to the scandal surrounding her pregnancy and reunion with an ex-boyfriend. The 27-year-old part-time model was seen on a solo walk on the Gold Coast last Tuesday, attempting to conceal the ring with her jumper sleeve before accidentally exposing it during a phone call.
The revelation comes after news broke last week that Crompton had reconnected with her ex-partner Harry while still participating in the experiment and is now pregnant with his child. Daily Mail Australia has obtained footage of the pair kissing while decorating a Christmas tree last October, just weeks after her on-screen marriage to Chris Nield fell apart during filming in Sydney.
Insiders claim Crompton 'friend-zoned' Nield from the start, with her lack of interest compounded during Revelations Week when she saw his audition tape and was reportedly 'completely turned off by the attention-seeking, f**kboy energy.' Sources say she felt obligated to stay on the show due to producer encouragement, despite knowing her future lay with Harry.
Cast members allegedly noticed Crompton frequently returning to the Gold Coast on weekends, citing modelling gigs, but speculation grew that she was attempting to reconcile with her ex. An insider described the situation as 'a total betrayal of the experiment,' adding that 'everyone is filthy about it.'
Fans have expressed outrage on social media, questioning why Crompton participated in the show and whether her actions breach her contract. The scandal has overshadowed the new season, with many viewers complaining that the drama has ruined the experience.
