Just when you thought Married at First Sight’s Jake Edwards’ love life couldn’t get any more complicated, it turns out that his girlfriend is related to another MAFS star.

Yup! Adding to the twisted web of reality TV, Jake’s new bae, Clare Rankin, is none other than cousins of Davina Rankin! What a small world!

As reported in episode 130 of the So Dramatic! podcast, one super=sleuth revealed the detail, even sending in a pic of the cousins when they were younger!

A+ for this student!

It’s not a stretch that Jake and Clare met, in fact, they may have been introduced through Jason Engler who was friends with Davina before he went on MAFS. Plus, Jake and Jason have been hanging out on the Gold Coast!

What Has Jake Said About Clare Rankin?

Taking to his Instagram on November 8, Jake shared a carousel of videos and pics of his new boo.

“Never been happier ❤️” he captioned the post. “You have the biggest heart, you ground me, you’re smart, you’re beautiful and yes you’re funny 😂 In fact, you’re perfect. Thank you for being you 🥰” CUTE!

What Happened Between Jake Edwards and Sophie Guidolin

Before there was Clare there was Sophie [Guidolin]!

Sophie and the MAFS star announced their romance following Jake’s dramatic experience on the social experiment with a very dramatic beach photoshoot that nobody asked for.

While the pair really seemed to be end game — Jake even had Sophie’s name tattooed on himself — the pair split in May after Sophie allegedly discovered Jake was messaging other women! Naughty, naughty!

A close friend of Jake’s told So Dramatic! in episode 74 that the pair are “extremely volatile and impulsive” and that Sophie does not want Jake to have any female friends under any circumstances after he claimed they were only messaging as friends. Charming!

Sophie meanwhile got back with her ex, before breaking up with him. Again.
