Fans are eagerly anticipating whether Ella Morgan and her match Alex are still an item following their intense initial meeting on Celebs Go Dating. Though the Married At First Sight UK star dated multiple suitors, it appears that Alex has truly won her heart. The couple has even made their first public appearance away from the show, with Ella bringing Alex to the MAFS launch event last week.
Sources have now confirmed that their romance is genuine, with Ella and Alex remaining together since filming concluded months ago. An insider shared, “Ella and Alex have been inseparable since they met on Celebs Go Dating and have stayed together since filming ended in July.”
The source also told The Sun: “They’ve finally made their relationship official, as Ella has taken Alex as her plus one to several recent high-profile events, including the Married At First Sight launch. She has expressed to friends how happy she is and how Alex makes her laugh and feel safe compared to her past relationships.”
Additionally, the insider noted, “He identifies as a straight man and sees Ella simply as a woman, not defined by any labels, and has been very supportive of her. They’ve discussed falling in love and envision a future together. Ella has even introduced Alex to her family, and he has done the same.”
Viewers have witnessed Ella and Alex’s growing connection over the past two weeks, particularly during one of the show’s retreats. When Ella fell ill and needed to step away from filming, Alex demonstrated his caring nature by sending her flowers to wish her a swift recovery.
Despite dating expert Paul Carrick-Brunson’s attempts to shake things up by introducing Ella’s former matches, she politely rejected her other suitors, reaffirming her commitment to Alex. This decision did not sit well with a contestant named Reece, whom she met early on.
Ella has since labeled him a “red flag” due to his overly eager demeanor and desire for exclusivity after just two dates. The show’s finale tonight will feature a pool party to close out the season, and Alex has a surprise planned for Ella. While their relationship seems solid, an unexpected visitor from Ella’s past may complicate matters.
