Married At First Sight star Kristina breaks silence with swipe at Kieran after split

Married At First Sight bride Kristina Goodsell has opened up about her shock exit from the experiment and how she feels about her estranged husband. The fan favourite broke her silence on her brutal split with Kieran Chapman, which viewers saw play out last night on the E4 show.

Kristina shared a statement on social media, which appeared to take a swipe at her TV ex. The 31-year-old wrote: "It’s hard to fight for someone who isn’t fighting back for you…Stina has danced, Stina has HEALED, Stina is still dancing."

Kristina was supported in the comments, as one fan wrote: "You’ve been the most wonderful, natural, unique lovely woman on this year to date. He’s made a massive mistake letting you go. No one should ever use someone’s health issues against them."

Another agreed: "I just don’t get him!! Bangs on about how amazing you are and then just suddenly changes his mind! You deserve better!"

The dog walker from East Sussex was paired with Kieran Chapman, 28, from Newcastle on MAFS UK and they immediately fell head over heels for each other. Labelled one of the show's strongest 'marriages', Kieran soon made a u-turn and started comparing Kristina to his ex, leaving his 'wife' frustrated and hurt.

The final commitment ceremony saw Kristina make a heartbreaking admission and choose to "leave" the experiment. Following the airing of their split, Kieran wrote a lengthy message to his former wife.

He wrote: "Kristina, first of all I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there for you, I’m sorry that I’ve been trying to decide over the last couple of weeks whether I have it in me or not. I’m sorry I voiced that you have similarities to a previous relationship, and I never meant to compare you. I’m just sorry I couldn’t make it work.

"This sounds brutal, I know.. but I wasn’t the man for Kristina, and she deserves someone to put her on a pedestal. Someone who can give their whole self to her, someone who can support her through the highs and lows. But I’m afraid that just isn’t me anymore. In the past absolutely, I wanted to be a healer, a helper, someone’s world..."

He continued: "I’m not saying I’m the only one to ever go through really bad times in my life, not at all, but what I did go through has taught me exactly what I want and need from a partner, and although Kristina has a lot of gorgeous qualities, and is a beautiful human, I just can’t be the support that she needs, and that’s really sad.

"Kristina, first of all I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there for you, I’m sorry that I’ve been trying to decide over the last couple of weeks whether I have it in me or not. I’m sorry I voiced that you have similarities to a previous relationship, and I never meant to compare you. I’m just sorry I couldn’t make it work."
