Married at First Sight Australia 2024‘s Ridge Barredo allegedly cheated on Jade Pywell with the two exes he DUMPED to appear on the show. And yes, we’re just as shook as you!
ICYMI: So Dramatic! previously revealed that Ridge had cheated on Jade MULTIPLE times since filming wrapped, which the groom later denied in a statement on social media.
However, the plot thickens because, as revealed in episode 369 of the So Dramatic! podcast, the two (?!) girlfriends Ridge had before the show admitted to speaking to him during filming and sleeping with him after, whilst he was still with Jade. Yikes.

Ridge also asked both ladies to wait for him so they could continue things where they left off after filming!
One of these exes, who we’ll call Woman #1 for the sake of anonymity, told So Dramatic! that she was seeing the groom when he decided to go on MAFS.
“We were full together, and he called me and said he was going on MAFS,” she said. “But then he asked me to wait for him and pick up where we left off when he was done.” And we can’t even…
Woman #1 also confessed that she was speaking to the psychiatric nurse during filming and that they’d also been in contact after filming wrapped, despite him and Jade still going strong.
“We slept together in January, and Jade knows about it,” she admitted. “He’s a piece of work, that’s for sure”.
Married at First Sight‘s Ridge Barredo tried to get back with his ex AFTER filming
Woman #1 then shared some JUICY screenshots of a conversation she had with Ridge after filming on February 20, while he was still with Jade.
In the texts, the intruder groom appears to be asking his ex to take him back.
“It won’t be the same this time, I respect you too much,” he wrote.
“You respect me, huh?,” Woman #1 replied, to which Ridge responded: “As long as I know no one else will get with you… I don’t do well sharing.” Yuck.
The ex then replied: “Well, Ridge, you’ve been the one making this difficult, not me,” explaining that she was keen to date him before he decided to go on MAFS.
However, Ridge then said he wanted to “prove” himself to her, hinting that he wanted a second chance.
His ex indirectly stated that because Ridge was still in a relationship with Jade, it wasn’t a good time to reignite any former flames.
“I was so into you, and I thought we’d start talking again, but you blocked me the day after we f*cked, which made me feel gross,” she added.
Ridge then said he “didn’t care” about the “outside noise” (gag) and that he was “running” back to her.
A SECOND ex of Married at First Sight‘s Ridge claims he also cheated on Jade with her
Meanwhile, a second ex of Ridges, Woman #2, claimed that the 27-year-old also dumped her to appear on MAFS and then cheated on Jade with her after filming. And we’re getting déjà vu!
Woman #2 told So Dramatic! that she was dating Ridge “before, during and after filming”, and had been in contact with him as recently as March.
“Ridge was FaceTiming me from his room when he and Jade moved into the Skye Suites when she wasn’t there,” Woman #2 dished.
She then revealed that she thought Ridge was the “love of her life”. Eep!
“I’m so embarrassed to admit that now, but he also said I was the love of his life and would also call me the ‘future mother of his kids’ just like he’s been calling Jade.” And he’s making Jack Dunkley look like a saint!
Not only that, but Ridge allegedly “begged” her not to watch the show and asked her to “trust him and wait for him”. And after continually gushing over Jade on national TV, we can see why!
Woman #2 continued: “He told me all about the show and said he didn’t love Jade enough to move to the Gold Coast.
“He’s already threatened me and told me that if I went to the press, ‘we’d be done forever, and he doesn’t want that’.” And this man gets worse by the second!
She then revealed that a few weeks ago, Ridge asked her to hang out so they could “talk”.
And to back this up, she sent us pics of her call log from March.
Married at First Sight‘s Ridge is BUSTED texting his exes on the same day whilst he was with Jade
Woman #2 also shared a voice note Ridge sent her on February 20, the same date he was messaging Woman #1 and begging her to get back with him.
“Can you please answer the phone right now? I really need to speak to you out of respect for what we had,” the groom can be heard begging. “Please give me the courtesy of talking to you… please answer your phone.”
To make matters worse, Jade knew all about this “but took him back 12 hours later”. And it’s giving Tori Adams…
Now, these two exes weren’t the only girls Ridge was cheating with.
“I also know of another girl he was speaking to before the show,” Woman #2 spilled. “He FaceTimed her when he first got to Skye Suites to show her the room. This guy is sick.”
And we can’t keep up with this BS!
