After her unsuccessful attempts at getting on reality TV over the past few years, the beauty CEO turned to the next best thing: dating ex-reality stars…

Married at First Sight 2023’s Melinda Willis used to date Season 7 groom Michael Goonan

Unfortunately, Melinda’s next ex is someone we know for all the wrong reasons.

And it’s no other than Michael Goonan from Season 7 of MAFS. Ick.

You may remember the ex-MAFS villain for cheating on his wife with co-star Hayley Vernon, and for being an overall pest.

Melinda had a fling with the former MAFS star around August 2020, not long after he came off the show. She’s since removed him from her page, but she used to post him on her Stories regularly.

A few weeks after they broke up, the MAFS bride complained about boys not being able to keep up with her.

But TBH, who would want Michael to keep up with them anyway? As Melinda would say, “For the bin.”

Married at First Sight 2023’s Melinda Willis used to date The Bachelor’s Darvid Garayeli

Last year, a So Dramatic! spy caught ex-Bachie star Darvid Garayeli holding hands with a new blonde girlfriend. And that mystery girl turned out to be no other than Melinda!

In episode 253 of the So Dramatic! podcast, a source close to the bride shares that the pair were seeing each other for a few months last year. During this time, Melinda shared a number of photos with Darvid on Instagram.

However, when approached for a comment, Darvid denied that he ever dated Melinda and said they were just friends. Ouch.
