The Confusing Untold Story Of Chris And Sam (An Investigation)

Hello and welcome to another special episode of the Maffs Funny Podcast where I'm going to be deep diving into the very confusing and kind of sad story of Married Up First Sites first gay couple in years Chris and Sam. After so much demand from viewers for the show to be more inclusive and represent the LGBTQ+I community this year, we finally got our wish. And as we first met Sam and Chris and watched a meeting from a viewer for the first time, Australia was filled with so much hope and potential. I'm ready to enjoy coffees on the Miranda sunset at the farm and all the little ordinary moments that turn into something special because I still want my happily ever after and I really hope it's with you. It really seemed like the experts had achieved the impossible. A successful match. Here's to hopefully being happily ever after yours. Sam, that was amazing. Thank you so much. I was both good. With sparks instantly flying as they shared their near identical vows. So, Sam and Chris are my new favourite couple and that was my favourite wedding. I really hope that nothing fucks anything up between them. I am so happy for this union. And Chris and Sam both knew from the second they were asked to go on this show. Their relationship was always going to be much bigger than them. You're the fourth, sign six couple on Miranda Fessant. Do you feel that I was once a reality? Yeah, I don't think I feel responsibility but I'm excited to represent the community and give it a wrap up crack, you know. And as their wedding, which was filmed in Sydney's glorious Palm Beach, Ed at the start of Mighty Grire here in Australia, it really did feel like we were going to get the gay fairy tale. We all so desperately wanted from these two handsome homosexuals. But sadly though, and he's often the case with this show, that didn't quite happen. And what when I'm watching on screen isn't the most accurate reflection of their relationship, which is all going to start falling apart in next week's episodes. And what's happened since they broke up and they've returned to real life? That's kinda sad. Actually, no, the whole thing from start to finish is quite sad. If I'm being honest with you. The producers of this show genuinely had the potential to do something great here. And not just for the two gay men, they chose to get married. But for the queer community, as a whole, but they didn't. They chose two men, who they knew, were never going to work. For the reasons I'll be revealing throughout this podcast. And not just that, but the producers also decided to introduce a man with very dangerous views. And Storylines exploring this question, is this guy a homophob or just a dickhead? Tell me about gay people. Gay people. Do you like gay people? That was quite a dangerous decision they decided to make. As those in charge of this show, they know it's watched by millions of people. And they know that the behaviours that are promoted on this, on Primetime TV, can and will be repeated out there in the real world. I just feel like that whole topic can really be pushed on us. I'm not really comfortable with it. I'm just being really honest. Another interesting point I want to make here though is, last year, at the time Chris and Sam film their wedding, gay hate crimes were on the rise across Australia. And that was all over the media. Four perth teenagers have been charged over what prosecutors are today calling homophobic hate crimes. The group accused of luring men by a dating app to a southern suburb street where they were attacked with crowbars and machetes. So again, that decision, which was made to feature a gay couple on this season, a decision made at that time when homophobia was becoming more and more prevalent across this country. Again, it had the power to do so much good and challenge so much bias and hatred and prejudice out there. Gay and bi guys are being targeted through hook-up acts like Grindr, being assaulted and robbed. What we do know is the police have made 35 arrests. But as I said, those pulling the strings decided, actually nah, let's do the opposite. They decided to cast the drama instead of genuine connection and introduce the twist in Tyson that they knew would perpetuate hate and create even more divide out there in the real world. But in this episode I'm not going to go too much into that or Tyson and all that drama. This is about Chris and Sam. And what went down between them on the show? What's happened since filming wrapped? What happened before they went on the show? And also, how do I fit into this big gay story? As always, let's start at the very beginning. August 26th, 2025. The sun was shining across Sydney. Spring was now days from springing. We'd all survived the never-winter and there was a sense of excitement in the air as news first broke that married at first sight was set to introduce a gay couple onto the new series. And I found that out a few hours before everybody else did when the first article went out as my morning that day was interrupted by a ping on my phone and a message from a paparazzi contact. Hey mate, there's a gay wedding happening up here in Palm Beach. If you want to come crush it, looks like it's starting any minute though. As much as I wanted to go and cheer them on from the sideline, that day I couldn't. Mostly because I had worked, but also because if you've ever been to Palm Beach in Sydney, you'll know it is such an effort to drive to. And to be honest, I just couldn't be bothered. Oh no, way mate. I replied. I can't make it though. It's kind of firing on my bit because he brought semi-picks through once you see the groom's like, "I wonder if I know one or what if I've got one of them before?" Lol. As an hour or so then passed and I got back on with my day. I was interrupted again. I'd been sent two pictures of two different men, suited and booted both arriving at that ceremony. And as I zoomed in and looked at their faces, I thought, "No fucking way. What are the chances?" Phone in hand. Now oddly excited by the coincidence, I sent a voice message back to that paparazzi contact. Mate, you will not believe this, but I actually know one of those. Like, what are the chances? Why did I just know this was going to happen? Some of the other pictures as you get them all out, let me know if they hit it off, but I was laughing at it so pretty. I often joke about how this show haunts me in the oddest ways because around a year earlier, as I was doing my usual nightly doom scroll swipe of the dating apps, something unexpected happened. And I marched with a handsome chap with a big smile named Sam, who seemed like the ultimate catch. Good-looking, driven, ambitious, family-orientated, and as we started talking more, I realised he was wholesome as well. After a little bit of back and forth on hinge, we eventually took things to the next step. Dick picks. No, I'm joking, we didn't actually do that. I've just gone off script, let me do that again. Sorry for that, I'll be fully. After a bit of back and forth on hinge, we eventually took things to the next step, and we moved our chat over to Instagram and in the DMs. And well, that's when it all fell apart for I never quite was romance, because I then realised Sam had been lying to me. When we marched and started talking, Sam's profile and hinge stated that he lived in Sydney, which makes sense as my swiping radius is like 35 kilometres from my house or something. But once we moved things to Instagram, and I did a deep dive on his profile and virtually stalked everything about him, as we all do when we make that digital dating next step from app to Insta, I then had a question, "Wait, I've already lived in Sydney. Do you live in Adelaide?" Yeah, he laughed. I just changed my dating apps to Sydney because there's no one in Adelaide, he continued. But I am in Sydney quite a lot, so we should catch up when I'm next there if you want. I felt cheated, betrayed, broken. And I was searching for a man to bring it into my day today, not a long distance liver. How dare you? I said to Sam, "No, I'm just joking again. I did not say that to Sam." I was like, "You know what, fair enough, that's kind of smart to be honest, but not really something I want to keep entertaining to be honest, just because I've done the long distance thing before I hated it. So now, if someone isn't local or in Sydney, like to me, it's see you later before I catch feelings that would mean I've got to be catching flights every weekend to see that person." Anyway, after Sam's south Australia bombshell, things naturally really work. fizzled out between us, the chat kinda went dry and then over the like the odd Instagram story of reply here and there, we never really spoke again. But like, I never forgot him. You know how most people you briefly chat to, either on Instagram or a dating app just become people you soon forget, we're never destined to remember and you either unmatched or unfollowed because you never meet. But on the very odd occasion, I mean very rarely. You don't unmatch and you don't unfollow, even though there's no plan to meet. And that person, they don't just stick like in your newsfeed constantly popping up with their little updates, but they kind of stick in your mind a little too every time you see them pop up because they just had something sweet about them. Even if you know they were maybe not for you for whatever reason, you just remember, "Oh, they had a good vibe, so yeah, they can stay out my Instagram." And that was kind of sad to me for a while. But as I said, over the odd interactions here and there, we never really spoke again. Until those pictures pinged into my inbox on his wedding day. Now some knew about my pages and my involvement in my first site and as I found out some was on the show, I knew I'd likely be seeing him around at some point soon. So I decided, "I'm gonna send him a message." Now some, I wrote, "Our paths are inevitably going to cross soon." And when I'm reported on you guys, saying there's a gay couple on the show or if I see you out and about while filming, rest assured, I won't mention it was previously chatting. I'm just gonna report with excitement, happy, this finely inclusion and wishing the best for you both. I just want to put your mind at ease in case you wondered. Best of luck with everything though, like Chris seems like a good match and I'll be rallying the guys to back you both. I sent that message on August 26th last year and I never got a reply until a couple of weeks ago, which I will get to later. But that lack of reply during filming, I fully expected and I was fine with that. I just didn't want some fearing like I'd one day jump out as they're filming with my phone, like, "Oh, hey Sam, good to finally meet you're after talking while producers are not there and then they'd then be assuming he's leaking shit to me or it could cause drama with Chris or whatever, like I just didn't want that because the day I sent that message, the day those pictures of them filming the wedding were taken, I genuinely thought like, damn, I really hope these two make things work." And not just because I knew Sam is lovely, but because a successful gay love story on a show of this size would be a win for all of us guys out there. So yeah, as I said, the day I sent that, I really was hopeful for them. But then the next morning, as Chris and Sam were waking up as newlyweds and I was waking up alone and still single in my bed, my phone started ringing. And as I picked it up and saw our number, I didn't have saved. I decided to answer it anyway, which I rarely do to be honest. And as I answered it and heard what was being said on the other side, I was no longer hopeful for Chris and Sam. "Hey, Josh, sorry I'm randomly reaching you out. My name is beep. We have a mutual friend and they gave me a number. I hope that's okay. I actually know one of the gay grooms in the article yesterday and he was dating my friend literally weeks ago. The stranger on the phone told me. The person then explained how for the last few months, their friend had been seeing Chris to the point of like spending a few nights a week together, sleeping at each of his places. This person also told me or claimed how a week or so earlier, as his friend was at Chris's farm with him, he remembers on a Wednesday night, Chris stepping outside to take a phone call, which lasted for like an hour or so. And then when he came back inside, he had a completely different vibe. The following day, now Thursday, as this guy's friend left Chris's farm and went home to Sydney, he tried reaching out to Chris to confirm the Friday night plans they'd already penciled in, but there was no reply. As more days then passed, there was still no reply. And as he eventually tried calling Chris, it didn't connect through. And then, after seeing my friends' paparazzi pictures of married at first sight's first gay wedding in the years, which were now all over socials and the press and recognizing Chris, the man I was now on the phone to did two things. Firstly, he phone his friend and went, "Hey mate, yeah, so I figured out where Chris went and why he's not replying to you." The person speculated that that phone call on that Wednesday night, like almost two weeks prior to this, they believed was Chris being given the green light to appear on married at first sight. And then when he stepped back inside to the guy he was seeing, who claims his whole vibe and persona had changed, that would kind of explain it. And then yeah, the second thing that guy on the phone to me did after seeing those pictures and telling his friend, like, "Yo, figured out the Chris thing." He then reached out to somebody else, I know, and said, "Hey mate, I need Josh Foxy's number." This guy, who I won't name, he also had text messages and stuff kind of from his friend and confirming his friend had been seeing Chris when I asked for proof because, as I say, a lot on this podcast, I get a lot of messages and a lot of it. It's just a load of made up bullshit. But then the guy on the phone told me the big bombshell. Also Josh, I bet he don't know that Chris is actually expecting two children. As he then detailed the lesbian best friend and the overseas surrogate with a few things that kind of proved this story was legit, we wrapped up that phone and I opened Instagram where there was another DM from someone that wasn't an anonymous page, it wasn't a burner while I won't name them. But this person said, "Hey Josh, follow you for a while. I love what you do. Please keep me anonymous." But I actually know that Chris guy, the gay one you posted yesterday, and he's actually currently expecting a baby with a woman that I know and Sydney. What can I do for you? Does everyone know about these babies? I then sat with this information for a little bit, trying to piece things together and figure out like, "Should I put this out as a new story now?" Because it's kind of like a scandal that's never happened on this show before or should I hold it till the show ends? And as I was thinking about that, a couple of days later, somebody else reached out to me, also mentioning the babies. And on September 4th now, I thought, "All right, everybody seems to know about this. So to me, it's fair game to report on like, it's going to get out there very quickly. So an hour or so later, after recording a quick podcast, I dropped the podcast titled, the scandal that has never happened on my order for a site before. And on that podcast, rather than going into like the finer details of the lesbian friend and the surrogor and all of that, I kept things very vague. And I just said, "Hey, I found out there's one guy who's currently filming the new season who's also expecting two children with two women." And I purposely didn't name Chris. I gave zero context because to be honest, I low-key like this idea of everyone on set then getting paranoid wondering, "Is it my husband? Who is it? Who's expecting these kids?" "It's wild. Absolutely wild. But I'm pregnant. Not me obviously." But what I've since been told is very quickly after that podcast went live, a camera crew were quickly assembled and sent to Chris and Sam's room so they could have a very unscheduled chat. "Yes, obviously I want to do to like get to know me a bit first before I told you. I am going to be a, um, Dan, a donor Dan." "Yeah, congratulations. That's awesome. Thanks. Yeah, so cool. Yeah, I think it's great. I was in the moment. It was a bit of a shock." "The second part of the news is I'm also having a child of my own." "Yep. Yeah. Okay." On the show, it made it look like Chris was finally ready to share his big news with Sam after so long debating it. But a show source tells me, "Nah, he still wasn't quite ready, but he kind of just had to do ASAP because my podcast was now doing the rounds amongst the cast." And then when we watched this scene at the dinner party, "I have some good news. Do you want to hear some good news? Yeah. "Dark Chris." "Some positive energy to the group." "Um, I'm going to be a dad." "Woo!" "The funny thing is pretty much everybody who was there cheering and saying congrats. They already knew because most of them had listened to my podcast and they'd all figured out, "Oh, it's Chris, one of the new gay groups." Now Sam took the bombshell, "Well, he said congratulations, but as far as I'm told, he was a little bit like, uh, yeah, okay." Sam had said in his application, like, "Yeah, he's open to children, but did that mean he wanted to be much with someone currently expecting to? With one of them due literally days away? Probably not. No. I've seen so much commentary online about how hard it is for gay men to have children and how lengthy the process is and trust me. I know. But also, and maybe this is a little controversial for me, but if you're a about to become a first time parent to not want but two children in my opinion that needs to be your sole priority at that point in your life while keeping your life as stable as possible for the sake of those two children. Rather than deciding to take a long hiatus from work, go marry a stranger days before the first one is due and committing yourself to minimum two months of intense filming, long days and then public scrutiny for at least the next six months until the show is edited as finishes and people watch and respond. Like all of that in itself as we all know from previous cast members on previous seasons is a lot for anyone to deal with mentally and it does as we all know, fro cast members lives into chaos and confusion for at least six months as they navigate so many new extremes all at once. So now and again, my opinion as my podcast, Chris then saying yes to my edit for a site when he was phoned up about two weeks before he's wedded and asked do you want to be an intruder? Knowing all of this was on his horizon, him then going yeah, I think that was a stupid decision and if you ask me, producers purposely choosing Chris out of the thousands of other gay men who applied and didn't have two children on the way, I think that just wasn't fair. It wasn't fair to some, it wasn't fair to viewers who have been asking for a gay love story for so long and it wasn't fair to the gay community who just want to be reflected positively with an easy normal relationship without bombshells and drama, but it wasn't this revelation that marked the end for Chris and Sam because in all honesty, they were already on the road to nowhere, which they knew and that's not even factoring in the things of sins found out. Now, before I get too far ahead and you know, going to what actually caused Chris and Sam to split up, let's just stick to the timeline here because as they were both coming to terms with this baby bombshell and filming those scenes in Sydney, Zetland where the cast lived during production in South Sydney at the same time, two other gay men had just found themselves unexpectedly crossing paths in ways they never expected because the guy that Chris had been seeing for those few months before the show and then ghosted to go and get married, he decided that week, hey, I'm going to get back out there and I'm going to download hookup app Grindr and as this guy who I'm going to call Will because I know from his friend, he doesn't want to be like named and id publicly as he's quite private, as he attempted to move on and you know, downloaded Grindr, he couldn't believe whose face he then saw on the Grindr grid just a few kilometers away and no, it wasn't Chris and it wasn't Sam but it was Chris's previous ex boyfriend who he was with before he started seeing him, who he'd been with for three years and who he initially started to oversee surrogate process with and then broken up with like not long before they started seeing each other. Hey, I'm told that Will then wrote to the guy, this is a bit random but we have someone in common, as those two then got talking, Will found himself stunned as Chris's ex boyfriend of three years who I'm going to call Dave as also, he likes to be private, he dropped the bombshell of his own. Wait, you've been seeing Chris, what do you mean? He said, Chris and I, yeah, we broke up a few months ago after three years but we've still been talking a bit like on and off and seeing maybe he could be work through things and get back together. Dave then sent Will a receipt for a couple's counseling session from July 24th, which he told Will, he'd attended with Chris and just to go back to the timeline of everything, July 24th was one month and two days before Chris married Sam. Will then said today, wait, are you serious? Because I started seeing Chris like, what, around June and in July, like I thought maybe, you know, we were getting close to becoming official. Dave then told Will how also in July when they booked that couple's counseling thing, thinking maybe they could, you know, pick things up where they left off earlier that year. He thought him and Chris were actually pretty close to getting back together. Dave and Will then both spoke about how neither of them expected a month later, now in August to then go online and see that, hey, Chris wasn't with any of them, but he'd actually gone off to marry a stranger. Like, you literally can't make this up kind of, the fact that those who stumbled upon each other on the grind of grid of all places is just like the chef's kiss to this gay drama. But also, before we get too carried away, here's the thing, I'm not insinuating that Chris was cheating on any of those guys or they some big betrayal here. He'd broken up with Dave and ended their free year relationship months before he started seeing Will. And like, yeah, he agreed to do the couple's counseling thing with him, whatever, but they weren't together, despite Dave believing that Chris maybe implied they could get back together at that time. And yeah, he was seeing Will and like, having sleepovers, staying at each other's places, all that. But also, they were just seeing each other. They weren't official. They weren't boyfriends and boyfriends. And I assume they didn't have the talk about, hey, are you seeing anybody else? So if we're getting technical here, technically Chris was single. And as he then decided to ditch both Will and Dave to go and murder first sight, still single. But was it a bit of a shame to do that when two guys are there? I'll let you decide that. There's obviously two sides to every story. I don't know Chris, never spoke to the guy. This is just the timeline of everything I've been told by multiple people now. But my biggest issue here is again, why did Married at first sight have to cast Chris? Out of the thousands of gay men who could have had an actual chance with Sam, they got the bloke who not only had two kids on the way, but already had two guys kind of on the back burner. And if you're wondering again, like why the hell would Chris even want to do maths when he's already got two children coming and two potential guys there? Well, why do most people say yes to this show? Is it the appeal of finding someone or is it the appeal of finding fame? Which brings me to the next part of this podcast. So what actually happened between Chris and Sam then? So as we know, Chris and Sam met at the wedding in Palm Beach, they bonded over their cute similar vowels and other cameras start rolling that night and they made their way to their hotel suite. Well, gay men are kind of horny. That's just a fact. And yeah, some people do prefer to take things slow, which I think sweet, but it's kind of rare. But with this relationship, Chris and Sam did both decide to take things slow because they said they wanted to build a connection or whatever. We've actually taken them two weeks until they eventually got round to doing bits. Chris and I, we are, took the next step in intimacy, which is great. I just wanted to take this moment to thank Chris because I am a bit of a slow burn and I was. But as far as I'm told, it actually took them two weeks to get to that because they're just not each of us type. Like I've seen pictures of Dave and Will. Chris is two X's and they're both a fair bit older, bigger broad guys and like kind of bears. And as for Sam, Will, given how he matched with me like a skinny tattooed mess of a man with a mule, I cut myself at home, I couldn't be further from Chris who's like quite manicured and has filler and all that. And so yeah, I'd take a guess that Chris wasn't Sam's type either. Like, Sam wasn't Chris's. But despite that, there were both still committed to at least trying, you know, this is an experiment. Get out of your comfort zone. But the further the into the experiment they got, they found themselves growing in different directions. But not in the usual way that couples do. And I mean more in the sense of Sam found himself attempting to keep the piece amongst a group gravitating to the quiet Akas members and diffusing drama at dinner parties. Hey guys, I just wanted to say something to the group. Holy crap, that's quick. I know there's some apologies to be made tonight. And Chris found himself full by Gia's side, her latest little minion and becoming part of the drama and falling into the whole mean girl squad. Are you kidding? It was like constant, constant. Really? Even David. The things that she said about them is so like she said, Oh my god. So then we've got minimal attraction, barely any intimacy and this slow realization that there are also two very different people. It was never gonna work. And then this coming week happened, which we're watching next week's episodes, and that's when things truly fell apart. When some pause Chris up on something that isn't a huge deal, but some felt was important to address, presumably any usual calm and sensible manner. And again, I'm told from multiple people on the show that rather than listen and chat through this, apparently Chris took it as more of an attack and then went on the attack. I'm not entirely sure what the exact issue will see on screen is that is the catalyst of this, but I've been told one thing that did come between them at some point during filming again by multiple people, and I don't know whether this will be shown or not, but that's the way Chris would speak to Sam about the fact that Sam lives in a sharehouse can add a lead as if that's something to look down on and is beneath him or somehow suggests like, he's a failure at his age. So you know something like that. Again though, I don't know if that is the reason we'll see them fight about all this something else, but one thing I do know and can tell you about is what happened once they split up, which again, is just kind of sad. So next week we'll see Sam and Chris start to fall apart, but it will be a couple of weeks until they eventually leave the show. And you know what I'm told, Chris did as soon as they did, eventually leave the experiment, and he was a free man once again. He reached out to Will, the guy he'd been seen for a few months open to the experiment and then ghosted to go chase reality television fame, instead of actually developing the connection they had prior to the show. And as far as I'm told by a friend of Will's, you know Chris reached out, he apologized for how he treated him, he asked if they could catch up to clear the air, and you know he was apparently hinting, maybe we could pick things up again. And much the Will's regret now aren't told that he briefly fell for it and went to meet Chris. And now this is where things get a little bitchy. According to Will's friend, as Chris attempted to pick things up we will and they did meet up, he decided to like shit talk Sam as a way to minimize his whole married at first sight experience as if it meant nothing. And Will has told people how Chris said, and I'm gonna say allegedly here because I can't confirm this. I wasn't there. Only Chris can when he's doing interviews and shit wants to show ends on TV. But yeah, Will has claimed to his friends who have told me that this is the stuff Chris was saying when he tried to get back with him. And that's how he disliked Sam from the very star, how Sam was apparently all smiles for the cameras, but just ignored him, were not filming. Chris also said, you know, we were never intimate in the slightest and he was apparently also talking up to his new best friend, Gia, like she was an I quote, superwoman. And here's the more interesting one. Will has claimed to his friends who tell me that Chris allegedly also told him how Sam constantly stank of B.O. Now if you thought the straights will mess you, welcome to the gay world. And as the investigative journalist I am, I've looked into this claim that Sam is allegedly a smelly man because if I'm being honest, this shocked me the most out of everything just because he actually always looks so fresh while clean shaven and well dressed, but are those nice sweat as he wears and shirts just deployed to distract from the smell, wreaking out from underneath? The answer to that, it turns out is no, they're not. Hey mate, random one, but just Sam stink of B.O. by any chance, don't ask. Ha ha, I text one source connected to the show last week. No, lol, they replied, is this like a weird gay fetish thing? Ha ha, WTF. Now mate, someone just said he stinks, so I'm investigating it. My source then replied, which is fair, Josh, you need to get a proper job. Now back to the story though, and you know, me now confident that poor Sam who was not only matched with a bloke with two kids and two backup guys on the side, but he's now copying accusations that he stinks. Now confident that, you know, he doesn't stink. There was one last thing I needed to investigate. Here's the best bit, my source, whose friends we've will, text me recently. You know that Chris also asked Willie if he'd meet up with him and Gia in Bondi at the end of last year to like hold his hands and pretend to be together because they'd organize paparazzi to come down and get them near the beach. And this, as far as I'm told, was the final straw where Will, when, what am I doing? Why am I even briefly entertaining the fore of having this man back in my life? Did Chris really ask Will to pretend to be together for some paparazzi pictures while out in Sydney with Gia? Again, I can't say for certain because I'm not Chris or Will. But what I can tell you is, Chris and Sam, they broke up and left the show in mid-October. They then filmed the reunion towards the end of November which was like when he started chatting to Will again. And then guess what happened in Sydney on December 8th last year, in Port Point which is a short drive from Bondi? Chris and Gia made their red carpet debut together while attending an active wear launch alongside some of her local influences. Nobody's heard of. And guess who was also there with them as they arrived? A paparazzi from Daily Mail who did a range to whole thing with. And when that photographer wrote up his pictures for the Daily Mail, he soft-watched the paras, once to watch apparently like making no secret of the fact the three of them were working together on pictures and stories. This is what the article with those pictures read. Gia, who is yet to make her reality TV debut and was pictured with co-star Chris Robinson, looked right at home among the flash bulbs as she strutted into the exclusive bash with the confidence of someone who knows she is about to become a household name. You know the funniest thing about that article is it's the fact that at the time it was published no one had any idea who Gia and Chris were because the show would only just stop filming. There were still a good couple of months away from being on the telly and why would they even be invited to this let alone popped unless they'd arranged it all with said paparazzi which would in fact confirm that yes, Chris and Gia were incidentally together the end of last year and arranging pictures with paparazzi. So to circle back to did he maybe ask will hey do you want to fake be my boyfriend for pictures? That feels a little bit more like it probably happened. Anyway, to now conclude this unnecessarily long podcast I'll recap my main takeaway. Married at first I had the potential to do something powerful here at a time when the gay community was and still is facing so much hate. But as usual, that is decided to do the opposite which is what we all just come to now expect from this show. And also actually before I wrap this, if you're wondering like what did some message me recently when he finally replied to the message I sent. He said and drumroll please. Hey Josh, can you recommend any good deodorant? No, I'm just joking, he didn't say that. I'm just laughing at how silly that body ought to think is, it's just so dumb. Nah, I haven't got my phone next to me but some basically said something like, hey Josh, I can reply to you back then. You know that not allowed to speak to media in that. I'll speak to you once the show finishes on TV and he's actually allowed to because, yeah, remember in the maths world unless cast members go rogue which we all knew Sam would never do, he's too nice for that. They aren't able to talk to media, a journalist or podcast unless it's all authorized through nine. And as you know, I'm kind of like listed from nine which I kind of enjoy. And then yeah, the second rule other than don't speak to media is also don't speak to Josh like ever. See ya.
