Turns out Domenica Calarco and her new boyfriend, Jack Norris (who also happens to be her ex’s bestie), matched on Tinder before she met her former husband, Luke Rodley.
ICYMI: So Dramatic! previously shared the messy circumstances surrounding Domenica and Luke’s divorce. Then, it was revealed the former MAFS bride’s new flame was the BEST MAN at their wedding!
Sources explained at the time that the romance “started over six months ago”, with those close to the situation “utterly shocked” at the pairing.
However, as reported in episode 304 of the So Dramatic! podcast, it seems that Domenica’s interest in her new boyfriend Jack has been long-standing.
According to a former friend of the Sit With Us co-host, “her and Jack matched on Tinder and went on a date before she met Luke”.
“Then she met Luke and found out pretty quickly that they were best mates,” they said.
As such, “she had to pick and she chose Luke”.
“In their speeches at the wedding, they both joked about how Jack almost ended up as the groom,” the source added. “They often talked about how ‘the better man won’ and all these kinds of jokes.
“They all thought it was funny at the time.”
Domenica Calarco says she ‘[wants] to grow old’ with her new boyfriend Jack Norris
During a June episode of her podcast, Sit With Us, the 30-year-old confirmed she was officially off the market.
“It’s a real thing, what we have,” she confessed. “I’m very happy. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.
“This is it, this is real, this is life. I wanna die with this person, I wanna grow old with this person.”
She also said she won’t be using her boyfriend’s name on the podcast at his request, despite having previously let slip that it’s Jack.
Friends of Domenica and Luke later told So Dramatic!‘s Megan Pustetto that they were “livid” at the reveal “especially because she said she had feelings for him before MAFS“.
“She also said she’s been close with him since before MAFS but went on it anyway.”
The insider added: “She didn’t break up with Luke that long before MAFS, so the timeline seems suss.”
This comes after another source close to the drama said Luke was the one to end his marriage to Domenica, rather than her claims of it being the other way around.
Sigh.
