We finally know which The Bachelors Australia 2023 star was dating Married at First Sight 2023 star Harrison Boon until the day of his wedding.
ICYMI: It was previously revealed that the marriage experiment is to be rocked by its “biggest ever scandal”, after The Bachelors‘ Jessica Tomlinson revealed to bride Bronte Schofield that her new husband was, in short, a root rat.
Now, as reported in episode 244 of the So Dramatic! podcast, we can exclusively reveal that Abby Miller is the woman who Harrison had been dating for several weeks in the leadup to filming MAFS.
The 21-year-old was quickly out of the running for Jed McIntosh‘s heart. However, it seems her 15 minutes of fame is just getting started.
What happened between Married at First Sight star Harrison Boon and The Bachelors‘ Abby Miller?
According to a source close to Abby, she and the 32-year-old TV groom met on Hinge and had been “sleeping together for about three weeks, right up until the morning of his MAFS wedding”.
“It was only a few weeks, but they were meeting up regularly and things were going really well,” they said. “It was pretty serious between them.”
Abby reportedly was unaware he was even thinking about MAFS until he mentioned it a week before his wedding.
The source then explained that when Harrison told Abby about the show, he said that he wasn’t actually sure if he was 100 per cent doing it.
“Nothing else was really said about it and then they went out for dinner the night before his wedding day. Abby stayed over at his house that night,” they recalled.
“Then the morning after they woke up and he started packing his bags and left to go film his wedding.”
As we previously revealed, Harrison told Abby they’d keep in touch and still see each other during filming.
However, our insider said, “it never happened”.
“He blocked her on everything the day after the wedding.” YIKES!
In another plot twist, Harrison was originally cast for The Bachelor!
What ACTUALLY happened when The Bachelors’ Jessica Tomlinson told Bronte Schofield about Harrison Boon’s relationship
Turns out, Jessica was only a guest at Bronte and Harrison’s wedding, NOT the Maid of Honour as previously reported.
Sources close to Bronte have since explained to So Dramatic! how the whole sh*tfight went down, expressing that Jessica was SHOOK to see Harrison at the altar.
“She had this confused look on her face and was like ‘oh shit, like do I say something?’” they said. “She kept trying to make eye contact with Bronte the whole time she was getting married but Bronte had no idea what was going on.”
While the wedding went off without a hitch, the Bachie star pulled Bronte aside to spill the tea after the ceremony.
“Bronte was super confused [and] Jess said to her, ‘Just come with me’,” the insider recalled.
The TV bride “had no idea” that her friend had a microphone on and thought “it was a private moment.
“Then all of a sudden there were like 10 cameras pointing at them and Jess drops the bombshell.”
Married at First Sight‘s Bronte Schofield confronted Harrison Boon
The source explained that Bronte immediately confronted Harrison about his relationship with Abby.
“Bronte said something to him like, ‘Who the fuck is this 20-year-old you’ve got on the outside?'” they said. “Then Harrison just lost his shit. He couldn’t believe that Bronte knew.”
The former male stripper reportedly “tried to deny it” before his new bae said all the info was on Jessica’s phone.
“She said, “So the photo of your suitcase who took that?’ He was silent and then Bronte fired back, ‘The girl who was helping you pack your suitcase this morning. Who was that? You can’t tell me it was nothing.’
“Then he goes, ‘Well, yeah, there is this girl I was sleeping with up until this morning’, and admits to it all.”
Given it happened prior to their nuptials, Bronte accepted Harrison’s faux pas but demanded he cut ties with Abby after learning he’d made plans to keep in touch.
“[Bronte said] Do not f*cking tell her that you’re gonna continue to see her throughout filming, and then catch up with her on weekends and continue to date her after the show.”
The source said from thereon in, Bronte and Harrison “agreed to start fresh”.
What did Bronte Schofield’s family say about the drama with Married at First Sight‘s Harrison Boon?
According to insiders, Bronte’s family was “so upset for her”. So much so that her mum and sisters “started crying”.
“Her sister charged up to Harrison and went nuts at him. She was calm and collected but she did give it to him and confront him,” one source revealed.
Harrison reportedly confessed that he “never intended on telling Bronte” about Abby.
“Her mum was crying too because she didn’t want to leave her with Harrison. She was kinda terrified about the man she was leaving her daughter to be around,” they continued. “She also felt sad for Bronte as she had really wanted this to work out for her.”
While Bronte “assured her she was OK” and would give Harrison “the benefit of the doubt”, this incident was just the tip of the iceberg.
“From that moment on, it’s just chaos between Bronte and Harrison.”
Bronte Schofield and Jessica Tomlinson are no longer friends
Following the wedding day saga, So Dramatic! can reveal that Bronte and Jessica had a falling out and are no longer friends.
According to one insider, Bronte felt that Jessica sabotaged her big day for her five minutes of fame.
“Jess was only on The Bachelor for about two weeks and admitted she went on there for fame, not love,” they said.
“Her statement after she left was: ‘Oh well, I’m too hot for these guys anyway, I don’t want to be with somebody who I make more money than’.” Sheesh!
However, she reportedly soon realised that she “didn’t get enough screen time” and as such, the MAFS drama was born.
The source said Jessica’s decision to tell Bronte about Harrison on camera proves she just saw it as an opportunity to get airtime.
“She went up to the producers, gave them a heads up, got mic’d up, and then told Bronte all of the information. So clearly, she was looking for fame and didn’t have Bronte’s best intentions in mind,” they explained.
“I think she was pissed off and jealous that Bronte one-upped her by getting on MAFS and is going to be a bigger star than her.”
Further adding fuel to the fire, Jessica “started sh*t-talking [about Bronte]”.
What did Jessica Tomlinson say about Bronte Schofield?
Sources close to the duo told So Dramatic! that Jessica was “upset” that Bronte didn’t make her a bridesmaid.
She reportedly has also been telling people that the reason the bride didn’t select her was that Bronte was worried she would “outshine her”.
“Jess then started talking smack about Bronte’s bridesmaids,” they revealed. “Jess said Bronte only picked ugly women so they would make her look good.
“It got back to Bronte and she was so upset. After that, she was done with Jess. it just put a sour taste in her mouth.”
According to the source, Bronte and Jessica have spoken since but couldn’t come to a resolution because The Bachelors star “doesn’t understand what she did wrong”.
“She thinks she was a good friend by telling Bronte.”
And to think the season hasn’t even started yet…
