They are engaged and soon to be married after falling in love on Married at First Sight Australia in 2019.
And Martha Kalifatidis revealed on Wednesday that she and fiancé Michael Brunelli once discussed the idea of having an open relationship.
Speaking on KIIS FM drive show Will & Woody, Martha, 33, explained they spoke about it after The Bachelor star Abbie Chatfield announced she was in an open relationship with her boyfriend Konrad Bień-Stephen.
Martha said Michael had asked for her thoughts on open relationships, but eventually, they both decided the polyamorous lifestyle wasn’t for them.
“Michael and I spoke about this, not because we were wanting to explore it, but you know Abbie is in an open relationship. We follow Abbie and love Abbie. She announced it,” Martha recalled.
“Michael was like, ‘Good for her. I don’t know if I could do it, but what do you think?’ This was his way of tip-toeing around asking me. I was like, ‘I don’t know if it’s for me. I don’t know.'”
Martha then went on to explain how they had discussed how open relationships work and whether they would be okay with each other sleeping around.
“He was like, ‘I don’t get it. What happens? I go out one night, I hook up with some bird, I come home and have a shower and then jump into bed with you and I’m like, “Babe, love ya, kisses.’ Would you be okay with that?’ And I was like, “Not when you put it like that.’
“It’s not for us obviously… But with relationships you can just never judge. Everyone’s relationship is unique,” she added.
Martha then joked that it would be a case of tit-for-tat if they were to open up their relationship.
“The first thing that I would think is like, ‘S**t, now I have to find someone who is hot. S**t, I have to get out there and find someone else as well,'” she laughed.
Michael and Martha met on MAFS in 2019 and announced their engagement in December last year.
