EXCLUSIVE: Married At First Sight brides at war! Evelyn Ellis and Melinda Willis awkwardly avoid each other at Logie Awards nominations amid ‘they aren’t friends anymore’ talk
MAFS brides Evelyn Ellis and Melinda Willis were at the center of a tense encounter Monday at the Logie Awards nomination breakfast.
Despite forming a close friendship during filming, it was clear that the former friends are no longer talking to each other.
Melinda, 33, refused to pose for photos alongside her co-star, who attended the event with her boyfriend Duncan James, 37, according to an eyewitness.
‘[Evelyn and Melinda] stood on opposite sides of the room, deliberately avoiding each other,” the spy claimed.
“It was very awkward because photographers expected them to pose together as MAFS won two awards.”

Sources have since told Daily Mail Australia that Melinda and Evelyn “haven’t spoken in weeks,” a surprising turn given their close relationship with the show.
The insider also claimed that Evelyn was “disappointed with certain things Melinda said about her relationship and about Duncan.”
“It’s sad, Eve thought they were really good friends…”

MAFS sweethearts Ollie and Tahnee, who were also in attendance at the event, continued to stir up the drama and remain puzzled by the unfolding feud, opting to stay out of the controversy.
It comes after Gold Coast beautician accused Evelyn and Duncan of ‘just dating for the hype’, implying their romance wasn’t real.
“I feel like in the beginning, maybe they didn’t realize it was going to be a real relationship. Maybe it was more of a hype, then it turned into a real relationship. That’s all I’m going to say,” she said Heat world last month.
