MAFS bride Beth Kelly accuses groom Teejay Halkias of only appearing on the show for fame: ‘He wasn’t into me at all’
Beth Kelly has slammed her groom Teejay Halkias, suggesting that he is only on Married At First Sight for fame, not love.
After Teejay continued to send her ‘mixed signals’ Beth says that it dawned on her that their connection was wafer thin.
‘I don’t think he’s a bad person at all, but I think looking back now, he wasn’t into me at all’ she tells Yahoo.
‘And so the only thing I can really think of is maybe he just wanted to stay for as long as he could to get as much fame as he wanted’.
She added: ‘I feel like there must have been ulterior motives.
‘I think maybe he just wanted to stay on the show for as long as he could and maybe he had to string me along to do that until it was at the point where he was like, “Okay, I can’t keep doing this”.’

It comes after MAFS expert Alessandra Rampolla sensationally called out groom Teejay for sending ‘mixed signals’ to his wife Beth.
The sexologist, 50, didn’t hold back during Sunday night’s final Commitment Ceremony, tearing into Teejay after Beth bravely revealed they had been intimate – despite his ongoing claims that he needed a deeper emotional connection before engaging in sex.
‘You say there’s a connection issue,’ Alessandra began, narrowing her eyes at the groom.
‘But did you not think that she would take reintegrating sex into the relationship as a signal that you are feeling connected with her?’
Teejay appeared caught off guard, admitting, ‘I don’t think I thought about it like that at the time.’
He went on to explain his actions, claiming he believed Beth had given him the ‘green light’ and that he wanted to satisfy that part of their relationship, hoping it might lead to something deeper.
But Alessandra wasn’t buying it.
‘Yes, but there is a big difference in the type of sexual connection she was referring to,’ she snapped back, unimpressed.

A clearly rattled Beth opened up about the emotional whiplash she’s experienced since the confusing encounter, telling the experts: ‘I don’t know where it went wrong, because to me it feels like you kind of flipped a switch.’
Alessandra stepped in once more, determined to get to the truth.
‘I think it’s very confusing because of the mixed signals and miscommunication that have clearly been going on,’ she said firmly.
Then, with all eyes on Teejay, she delivered the ultimate question: ‘I want to know why you have been dishonest with Beth?’
The moment left viewers – and Beth – stunned, as the groom struggled to defend himself.
Beth took a swipe at Teejay after their disastrous Homestays in Brisbane last week.
While inviting each other over to their family homes, the reality TV star discovered her husband ‘couldn’t see a future’ with her and considered her just a ‘friend’.
Blindsided by the revelation, Beth has now accused Teejay of ‘leading her on’ her to stay on the Nine show.

‘It felt so embarrassing because my parents could see he wasn’t into me,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
‘And then in front of his friends the next day, he sits there and says he doesn’t see this progressing and doesn’t see a future with me. It hurts so much.
‘I just felt really disrespected and so blindsided. It really hurt my feelings.’
When asked directly if she felt Teejay had been gaslighting her into believing they had a connection up until that point, she agreed.
‘Yeah, now I look back, there were quite a few moments where I kind of felt like he maybe wasn’t into me, but I just ignored it,’ she said.
‘He was really good at saying the right things, but sometimes his actions would prove otherwise.
‘I kind of just swept it all under the rug. I should have really woken up and realised what the f*** was going on.
‘Just coming to Homestays, to me was a big deal. If he wasn’t feeling me before it, I don’t know why he came. It didn’t make any sense to me.’

Beth went on to say Teejay ‘played’ her and just ‘wanted to stay as long as he could’.
‘He went from this really nice guy I had so much fun with to being just so cold and it hurt. It was really upsetting,’ she said.
‘I just feel like, yeah, he kind of dragged me through the mud to try and maybe stay in the experiment as long as he could.’
‘I honestly feel like he came to Homestays because he kind of played along the whole time and he needed to come up with a reason [to blame Beth],’ she added.
