Married at First Sight Australia 2022‘s Olivia Frazer has revealed her ex, Jackson Lonie, has undergone a huge personality change since their shock split in August 2022.

As one of the experiment’s most controversial couples ever, Olivia and Jackson repeatedly ruffled feathers long after the show — and their relationship — wrapped.

Now, it seems Jackson’s the one causing a stir with his ex-girlfriend, despite previous claims of an amicable breakup.

Chatting to Yahoo! Lifestyle, Olivia said she has complicated feelings towards Jackson.

“To be fully transparent, we tried to maintain a friendship and be really good mates, and I think we still are,” the 29-year-old revealed.

“However, he hurts my feelings a lot.”

Olivia Frazer weighs in on why ex-Jackson Lonie is frosty towards her

According to Olivia, Jackson believes she’s still hung up on him and keeps her at arm’s length to avoid “lead[ing her] on”.

She described how the former tradie was usually “very big and warm and lovely” and has become “an icy person” around her.

“He’s quite cold, and it’s really hard to go from being in a loving relationship to trying to be friendly exes,” she explained.

“For him to put up that wall and be quite conservative with me is a big change, and I don’t like it.”

This is in contrast to “all her exes”, with whom she’s “capable of being warm and lovely”.

Despite his behaviour, Olivia is still in Jackson’s corner with “love and respect”.

“There just needs to be a bit of space at the moment,” she concluded.

Talk of Jackson’s “frosty” behaviour comes after he hit out at Olivia’s claims that he was dating one of the MAFS 2023 brides.

The 32-year-old said he’d been chatting to a number of participants and giving them advice about life after the show.

“I think she misunderstood talking for ‘talking’”, he told So Dramatic!, later telling Pedestrian.TV that the pair don’t discuss who they’re dating.

“She can’t handle it… I did tell her I was talking to some of the contestants, so she must have just taken ‘talking’ out of context.”
