MAFS’ Jessika Power splits with boyfriend James Brown

Former Married At First Sight star Jessika Power has split with her boyfriend James Brown after four months together.

On Friday night, fans noticed that the pair had not only unfollowed each other on Instagram, but that they had also deleted all the photos of each other from their respective accounts.

When contacted for comment by Daily Mail Australia, Jessika, 28, confirmed that she and landscaper James, 35, had split.

‘We were having some problems and they got worse when I left the Gold Coast to go visit my family in Perth,’ she explained.

‘Unfortunately, we were unable to sort through them and he’s decided to move on,’ she added.

‘I’m just spending time with my family and friends right now and I’m looking forward to getting back to the Gold Coast to commence my studies on 6th of July.’

While the former couple had only been together for a few months, they grew close quickly after staying together throughout the COVID-19 lockdown.

During their relationship, Jessika often shared updates of the pair together and was often spotted playing with James’ young son.

While Jessika declined to go into any specific details about the split, she said that she and James ‘were in a bubble’ together during lockdown, and that once the restrictions eased and life returned to normal, they realised that they were better off going their separate ways. 

The former couple went public with their relationship in early March, but they started dating in February.

At the time, Jessika told Daily Mail Australia that she was happy to be dating a ‘normal bloke’ for once instead of guys from reality TV.

‘James is not someone who just wants to be with you for media. He doesn’t care what shows I’ve been in, he likes me for me,’ she said at the time. 

‘Obviously media is going to be a part of my normal life for a while but I can’t have this forever, that would be a sad life.

‘One day, I just want to take it easy and settle down with someone.’

Jessika was partnered with Gympie-based farmer Mick Gould on last year’s season of Married At First Sight.

She had an affair with Dan Webb, who was paired to Tamara Joy, and the cheaters were controversially allowed to re-enter the experiment as a new couple.

In April 2019, Jessika’s relationship with Dan ended. Seven months later, she and Mick settled their feud by catching up for a drink at a country pub.
