Former Married At First Sight couple Stacey Hampton and Michael Goonan recently rekindled their friendship.

But it appears the 28-year-old businessman hasn’t quite got over his ex-‘wife’, as a source tells Daily Mail Australia he is secretly hoping they will reconcile romantically.

‘They’re good friends now, but Michael wants her back,’ the source said on Monday.

‘Michael doesn’t approve of her new relationship and is doing everything he can to try and get Stacey to visit him on the Gold Coast,’ they added.

It comes just days after Daily Mail Australia revealed that Stacey was planning to relocate from Adelaide to Melbourne to pursue her new romance.

‘Stacey’s head over heels for her new man, and I have never seen her happier,’ a source close to the mother of two said last week.

‘She’s already started to pack her bags and she’s ready to get on the first flight out once border restrictions are lifted,’ they added.

Last week, Stacey and Michael proved they had put their differences aside by catching up for lunch in Adelaide.

Their friendly reunion came after Michael had made a public appeal on Instagram for her to give him another chance – as mates.

Earlier this month, he shared a throwback photo of the former couple in happier times and wrote: ‘So publicly Stacey. Wanna be my friend again?’

The millionaire’s plea to Stacey came after his break up with fellow Married At First Sight star KC Osborne in July.

KC blamed their break-up on Michael’s unwillingness to change his ‘playboy’ ways. 

Friends again: He then shared a loved up snap of the pair and captioned it: 'So publicly @Staceylhampton Wanna be my friend again?'
