Married At First Sight UK star Rebecca Fenney has publicly confirmed her new romance with Liverpool footballer Lily Woodham, sharing a series of intimate photos from their recent trip to Barry Island in Wales.
A New Chapter After MAFS
The 32-year-old beauty clinic owner, who split from her TV groom Bailey Smith earlier this year, made her relationship with the 25-year-old Welsh athlete official on Instagram earlier this month. The couple's latest outing saw them exploring the iconic Gavin and Stacey tourist attractions on Barry Island, with Rebecca dubbing the sunny day a "gorgeous" one in "Barrybados".
Fenney and Smith were hailed as the experiment's "strongest couple" during the latest series, but announced their separation months after filming concluded. Bailey later posted a heartfelt statement expressing his heartbreak over the split. However, Rebecca has clearly moved on, embracing this new chapter in her personal life.
Embracing a Same-Sex Relationship
In a candid caption accompanying a sweet clip of the pair singing in a car, Rebecca hinted that this is her first same-sex relationship. She wrote about a girl coming into your life in your 30s and making you "question everything you've ever known about yourself". She urged followers to "let love in" and not fight these feelings.
She has since posted further snaps branding Lily her "new love", describing the footballer as a "5ft 4' alpha". Her former MAFS UK co-stars were quick to offer their support and congratulations on the new relationship.
Support from Co-Stars and Moving Forward
Leisha Lightbody commented "Yesss my girl your glowing", while Ella Morgan added, "Omg I'm obsessed with this!!! So happy for you! I think I need to join the club." The posts signify a happy and confident new beginning for Fenney, who appears thoroughly smitten just weeks into her relationship with Woodham.
As the couple enjoy their time together, from trips to Barry Island to simple car journeys, fans are witnessing the start of a very public and loved-up romance following the end of one of MAFS UK's most talked-about partnerships.
