Maried At First Sight UK’s Jordan reflects on his relationship with Chanita

Jordan Emmett-Connelly of Married At First Sight broke his social media silence on Friday about his relationship with Chanita Stephenson, taking to Instagram with a lengthy post.

The account manager, 29, reflected on their experience — which ended with their relationship breaking up — as he admitted “if I could turn back the clock and change things, I would.”

And while admitting he still has “strong feelings” for the social worker, he vowed to “do everything I can to try and keep her in my life” — before revealing that they are still in daily contact.

Married At First Sight came to an end on Tuesday, with the couples all reuniting for the last time – showing an emotional Jordan and Chanita how they’d been doing since the show.

And with his 80.3K followers, Jordan shared a sweet photo of him and Chanita smiling in the post, before explaining his reasoning for keeping quiet on social media until now as the series came to an end.

He admitted that he needed “enough time to process/reflect the experience” before explaining that he wanted to be in a position where he could “handle everyone’s opinion and the hatred that comes with it.”

Writing: “I can’t express how difficult it has been to deal with the fact that I upset Chanita to the extent I have, I am not a bad person, but I handled the situation badly, and I take the full responsibility and learned an important lesson. If I could turn back the clock and change things I would, but unfortunately that’s not possible.

“Like everyone in the world, I have my own feelings and my own flaws. I sometimes don’t handle my emotions very well, sometimes I don’t think logically and my impulsiveness puts me in situations I don’t want to be in.

Whatever you think of me, I can say with all my heart that I went into that process one hundred percent myself, I wasn’t trying to paint a certain image, I didn’t play for the cameras, I didn’t want to be something after the show, and I was definitely not trying to fake a relationship. All I wanted was to find love.

He explains it all: Jordan shared a sweet photo of him and Chanita smiling in the post with his 80,3,000 followers, before explaining his reason for keeping quiet on social media so far as the series came to an end.

“I think when you go to these shows, you have to remind yourself that you are open to judgment regardless of the small percentage of your relationship that people see, and that you have to fully accept and value the opinion of those who are watching.”

Jordan continued to explain the hatred he has received since the show, noting a multitude of negative messages.

He closed the open post by calling Chanita a “great person” and revealing that they still speak “every day.”

“Chanita is a wonderful person, I still have strong feelings and I care about her more than she will ever know. From the bottom of my heart I just want her to be happy. I am so grateful that we shared this experience together.

“We’ve laughed, cried and experienced all the other emotions in between. We’ve really seen and done it all, and that’s why I love us. We continue to talk to each other every day and I will do everything I can to try to keep her in my life.
