Married At First Sight’s Sara Mesa has finally addressed the whirlwind of speculation surrounding her loyalty to her TV husband Tim Calwell.
The controversy arose after Mesa refused to participate in the show’s phone switching task, a decision that raised questions about her loyalty.
‘We’ve known each other for two weeks, would you hand over your phone to a stranger? I feel like it’s something personal, you could say, it’s a bit of a diary. It’s not like I was hiding anything, I wasn’t talking to other guys,” Sara, 30, told Ny Breaking Australia.
“It was more like the pure principle that, you know, the phone is a private matter. I’ve known this guy for a week, I don’t really see the need to do that.’
Sara’s stance on the task was clear: ‘I didn’t want to jeopardize our relationship by involving the producers in any way. I know all these tasks were meant to rock the boat. They were meant to stir things up.”

The controversy arose after Mesa refused to take part in the show’s infamous phone switching task, a decision that raised eyebrows and fueled questions about her loyalty.
“It wasn’t really a task to get you to trust that person. It was more to start some kind of drama, and at this point,” she added.
‘Tim and I were actually on good terms and were hopeful for our future. So I didn’t really want to take the risk and rock the boat in any way.”
When asked if Tim had any reason for his suspicions, Mesa acknowledged that his past had been hurt by infidelity: “Yes, honest enough as he is. It was shown that he was cheated on multiple times with his ex, and he says he has trust issues.’
‘We know each other, would you hand over your phone to a stranger? I feel like it’s a personal diary, you could say, a bit of a diary. It’s not like I was hiding anything, I wasn’t talking to other guys,” Sara, 30, told Ny Breaking Australia
‘Tim and I were actually on good terms and were hopeful for our future. So I didn’t really want to take the risk and rock the boat in any way,” she explained
She continued, “I think it’s normal to have those trust issues, but I don’t think his trust issues with me had anything to do with me and more to do with his past. he either trusted me or he didn’t.’
“I don’t feel like I did anything to intimidate him other than speaking my mind and staying strong about my expectations and what I wanted and needed in a relationship.”
Mesa gave Tim advice and suggested, “I feel like Tim needs to speak his mind a little more.”
‘I think having an opinion, speaking out what is right. You know, sometimes it’s good to rock the boat.”
It seems like the couple tried to make their relationship work after the movie wrapped, but things may have fallen apart since then.
“He came to Sydney for my birthday, which was nice. And that’s about it,” she explained.
“I had a bunch of friends of mine over at Level Six (at the Ivy) for a little private party, and he came and gave a little speech, which was really cute… that was fun.”
Married At First Sight continues on Channel Nine on Tuesday at 7.30pm
