Married At First star Kristina Goodsell has revealed she is dating a mystery new man following her split from Kieran Chapman.
Kristina, who starred on the E4 show last year, was heartbroken when ex-husband Kieran ended their romance after spending weeks hanging out during the experiment.
The reality star said she is a ‘new woman’ and is currently in the ‘early stages’ of a new romance following her feud with ex Kieran who she confirmed she is no longer speaking to.
Kristina told me The sun: ‘I’m a new woman since Married At First Sight. It has taught me to be unapologetically myself. I love my single life, but I’m open to dating. I’ve been dating, but it’s still in the early stages.
“If someone wants me, they’re going to want me and I’m just going to go for it because I don’t change for anyone.”
Despite agreeing to remain friends after the split, Kristina has now said she “wishes him well” but no longer considers him a friend.

She added: “Unfortunately we are not friends, my perspective on a friendship and Kieran’s perspective on a friendship is very different. It’s been clear since the first reunion.
“I cherish my friends and need consistent friends. He’s unfortunately not a consistent friend, so I wish him nothing but the best and send him so much love, but 2025 is my year.”
It comes after Kristina was left ‘heartbroken’ by Kieran, who left their marriage to another woman shortly after they left the E4 show.
The revelation of Kieran’s girlfriend caused an explosive row during the filming of the reunion episode, as the cast expressed their shock at Geordie’s new romance.
But the biggest reaction came from Kieran, 28, himself, who broke down in tears over the realization that he had hurt ex-wife Kristina more than he ever intended.
After investing her heart and soul into the dating experiment, Kristina, 31, couldn’t hide her pain, sobbing as she was forced to confront the issue.
Kieran was accused of being dishonest after telling Kristina their relationship wouldn’t work due to his fear of commitment – before he started meeting someone new.
A TV source told MailOnline: ‘The cast were stunned to discover that Kieran had moved on so quickly after filming had happened for him and Kristina had finished.

Kristina said, “I’m a new woman since MAFS. It has taught me to be unapologetically myself. I love my single life, but I’m open to dating. I’ve had dates, but it’s still in the early stages.”

Kieran had expressed how difficult it would be for him to start a new relationship after being betrayed by an ex-girlfriend, but he met someone new shortly after his marriage ended.
“He was very emotional seeing how Kristina was dealing with him seeing a new woman as he still cares about her feelings.
“With Kieran in hysterical tears and Kristina trying her best to stay strong, the reunion episode was incredibly difficult for the former couple to film.”
An insider added: “Kieran’s post-wedding romance with Kristina ended before the reunion episode was filmed.”
Kieran’s new romance came after he and Kristina opted to leave Channel 4’s dating experiment after failing to make their marriage work.
The Geordie mechanic had expressed difficulty in dealing with Kristina’s premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a mood disorder that causes severe emotional, cognitive and physical symptoms in the run-up to menstruation.
He also said that a painful betrayal in a previous relationship, in which his ex-girlfriend slept with his best friend, left him struggling with commitment and Kristina even reminded him of his former partner.
Kieran also avoided any physical or sexual contact with Kristina for weeks because he had a cold sore, but said during an honest confession with the experts that he used it as an excuse to stay away.
Cracks in the couple’s relationship widened after they visited the show’s homestay separately instead of showing each other where they both live in the real world.
During their final scenes, Kieran said, “We kept our host family separate and that was because I didn’t want to take Kristina back to mine knowing where my head is at. I ask myself: do I see myself and Kristina still being together in ten years…’

MailOnline has contacted a Channel 4 representative for comment.
He continued, “I don’t know how much I have left in me for the amount of emotional support Kristina needs, that’s very important to me.”
Kieran said to his wife, “I’m really sorry for putting you in this position, Kristina, it was never my intention, I will always think very highly of you. All I know is that I can’t give you the best version of me.”
Kristina added, “I can’t just turn off my feelings overnight, Kieran knows that. I have been so patient, so understanding and so respectful. The ball has been in his court for ages… so I’m leaving.’
In the couple’s emotional ending, they thanked each other for the efforts they made during the process, vowing to remain close friends.
After their last time on the couch in front of the experts, Kristina was left confused, wondering, “How can I go from being your perfect match, the girl of your dreams, everything, to then nothing?”
