Married At First Sight relationship expert John Aiken defends casting groom Tim Calwell after his shocking confession about his ex: ‘He had been cheated on a lot’

Married At First Sight expert John Aiken has rushed to the defense of groom Tim Calwell after he made a shocking confession about his ex-girlfriend during the show’s premiere on Monday.

In the episode, Tim, 30, stunned his bride Sara Mesa, 29, when he said he had only broken up with his former partner six months ago.

Relationship expert John Aiken, 53, shared Yahoo they assessed Tim’s past romances and determined that he was completely over her and suitable to appear on the show.

“Tim has been cheated on a lot, so you can’t really judge how ready they are just based on a timeline,” he said.

‘When we do an assessment, we end up in all kinds of different areas. And he was sure, as he said, “I’m ready, I’m over that.” Maybe that’s why he was so outspoken about it, because he likes to talk about it.’

During Monday’s episode, Tim and Sara had heartfelt conversations about their past relationships and Calwell surprised her with his confession.

‘She was unfaithful to me. We were together for six years. I wanted to propose to her this year,” he explained.

“Oh my God, that was unexpected,” Sara replied, before telling Tim that she was worried because the relationship had ended so recently.

Tim said he needed Sara’s “help” and she asked if he meant he still wasn’t over his ex, which led to him promising her that the relationship was in the past.

Elsewhere in the show, the episode featured one of the most shocking moments in the series’ history, with Channel Nine airing X-rated sexually explicit content.

Sara and Tim’s wedding quickly escalated from a dreamy romantic encounter to what can only be described as a full-blown car crash at a wedding.

And it was all thanks to Tim’s best man Ben, who clearly missed the memo on proper wedding etiquette.

Ben gave a light-hearted speech and instead left the bride and guests with a series of X-rated comments about Tim’s dating past, even calling Sara “experiment number 865.”

“He’s really into experimenting,” he announced, beginning a lurid list of Tim’s sexual escapades.

Sara’s bridesmaid Lauren was left shocked and nauseous, telling the cameras: ‘The comments about giving heads on the road are disgusting. That was a red flag if I ever saw one.”

“Oh my God, that was unexpected,” Sara responded, telling Tim she was worried because his previous relationship had ended so recently
