Married At First Sight boyfriend Tim Calwell has broken his silence on the infamous cheating scandal involving his girlfriend Sara Mesa.
The online business owner, 31, was left heartbroken after his wife Sara, 29, told him she had to go “puppy sitting” – but it was later revealed she was visiting an ex-boyfriend.
Calwell said that in retrospect there were many clues that things were not good in their relationship, which he overlooked because he trusted Sara to be faithful.
‘She requested three days leave from MAFS. “I’m not really sure what she and her ex did or if they did anything physical,” she told the Podcast Sit with us.
Tim added that he later discovered that the puppy-sitting story was a lie, which made it difficult to believe everything Sara subsequently told him.
