“There’s someone on my radar. There’s a man, actually,” she dished. “He’s always had love for me and we’ve been spending a lot of time together. He’s showing me how it should’ve looked.” Ooh!

The reality star spilled she’d been mates with her new bae for a few years. But like all good romances, they’ve found themselves in a real-life friends-to-lovers arc.

While Pat didn’t take Claire on dates, her new man is making her “feel special”.

“Watch this space; I think there’s something blossoming there for sure,” she gushed. Aww!

Why did MAFS‘ Claire Nomarhas and MKR‘s Pat Calleja breakup?

In June, Claire revealed she’d been taking a break from social media after quietly splitting from the TV chef.

“I’ve gone through a break-up, had to find a new home, tried to balance work and my mental health, and it was super hard,” she wrote to Instagram at the time.

“I didn’t know how to navigate it in private, let alone publicly, so I just disappeared.”

Claire explained that the pair broke up due to a lack of communication.

“I think it’s important to consistently check in and reflect in a relationship. Lack of communication is killer,” she added.

“You have to constantly work on yourselves as individuals and put effort into the relationship for each other. We stopped doing that somewhere along the way, and when you become complacent, romance dies.”

She also added that their goals didn’t align.

“I realise how much I value being with someone with the same mindset as me,” she said.

Despite their breakup, the duo remain on good terms.

“I can’t say a bad word about him because he’s a great human. Just not my human,” she finished.
