Married At First Sight bride Beth Kelly has revealed she is no longer on speaking terms with her on-screen husband Teejay Halkias following their brutal break-up just days before Final Vows.
In an interview with Daily Mail Australia, the hair salon operations manager, 28, admitted she has cut ties with Teejay after feeling rejected, humiliated and blindsided by his behaviour both on and off camera.
‘At the moment, no – we’re not on talking terms,’ Beth confessed.
‘I actually did think about messaging him this morning, but he’s seen me cry and seen how hurt I am, and he’s not taking any accountability.’
Beth explained she felt she never had the opportunity to get things off her chest.
‘He actually doesn’t know how angry I am and the things I never really got to say,’ she continued.

‘I am in two minds – I want to have a conversation with him, but at the same time, I don’t know if I ever want to speak to him again.’
The Brisbane-based bride sensationally quit the show at the eleventh hour, telling Teejay she would not be going through with Final Vows after weeks of feeling unwanted.
‘I don’t see a future with you. I’m not gonna put my energy into it. I’m not wasting my time anymore,’ she declared during their emotional farewell.
Beth told Daily Mail Australia she had seen red flags in their relationship long before it imploded, admitting Teejay’s decision to write ‘leave’ during a previous commitment ceremony was the final straw.
‘My reason for leaving was purely because TJ wrote “leave”. He was obviously completely checked out,’ she said.
‘I don’t think you can tell a person you don’t wanna be with them any more than that.’
Beth revealed she regretted trying to salvage the relationship after that moment.
‘If I knew he was going to write “leave”, I absolutely would have written “leave” as well. Definitely.’

Beth went on to slam Teejay’s ‘hypocritical’ behaviour after it was revealed he had followed fellow bride Tara Lee on Instagram and liked several of her photos – despite berating Beth for going on a date with another man during the show’s controversial partner-swap twist.
‘He actually had a bit of a go at me behind closed doors about going on the date,’ she revealed. ‘He said it was confusing, that I was going to look stupid, and it made me really upset.’
‘But then I found out that he had a great time on his date. He told me something different and he’s then followed her and liked her pictures. So to me, it’s just hypocritical.’
Beth admitted participating in the date week challenge only compounded her heartbreak.
‘To be honest, going made me feel worse,’ she said. ‘I definitely wasn’t attracted to [my date]… I felt like I played off that I had a better time than I did because truthfully, I was just thinking about Teejay the entire time.’
She had hoped the experiment would make Teejay appreciate their connection, but was left crushed when he confessed the date had done nothing for him.
‘I thought maybe he’d realise we had great banter, great chemistry. But he said it did nothing for him. That was sad.’
Reflecting on their split, Beth said the writing had been on the wall for weeks.
‘There were many situations where I felt he wasn’t attracted to me or into me at all, but I swept them under the rug,’ she said.
Ahead of the final dinner party, Beth made the decision to walk in alongside Teejay – but now admits she regrets trying to save face.
‘I wish I did walk in by myself because I think it would have made a bold statement,’ she said.
‘But at the time, I wanted him to feel comfortable. We started this experiment together, and I wanted to end it together.’
Ultimately, Beth says she has no regrets about doing the show – but is now focusing on moving forward without Teejay in her life.
‘I walked away with such beautiful people in my life,’ she said. ‘I don’t regret doing the show. I just wish I didn’t come out of it single.’
