MAFS’ Tori Adams shares telling message as ex Jack Dunkley reveals new relationship – a year after shock split

Controversial MAFS groom Jack Dunkley seems to have a new love in his life, a year on from his split from Tori Adams.

Jack shared a video with his 98,000 Instagram followers of himself and his new mystery woman going for a walk, panning the camera to her as she smiled.

“Forever grateful, especially for the little things 🤍,” he wrote, adding the hashtag #5ftnothin.

Though Jack didn’t name or tag the brunette, friends and followers were quick to take it as a relationship announcement – especially as Jack made the video thumbnail a photo of her as his phone lock screen.

One of the first to show support was his MAFS ex Tori.

“Love this! 🥹,” she wrote.

“Always appreciate you 🫶” Jack replied.

The pair’s Season 11 co-stars, Andrea Thompson and Lucinda Light, also celebrated the new relationship.

“Cute Jack xxx,” Andie said, while Lucinda labelled the video “gorgeous”.

Tori and Jack ruffled feathers on MAFS 2024 but were one of the only couples standing strong at the end.

They continued their relationship post-experiment and lived together on the Gold Coast until their shock split after two years together in March 2025.

“We just kind of got to a point where we never took that next step of really falling deeply in love with one another,” Tori told nine.com.au of the split.

She called the break-up “the most boring, normal thing ever”.

Despite the end of their relationship, both Tori and Jack have made it clear they’re still close friends.

They even continued to live together as friends until Tori moved back to her hometown of Melbourne in January.

“Jack and I are able to maintain a really beautiful, close friendship,” Tori said in December.

“No one did anything wrong, which is why I’ve been able to live here for the past nine months … we’ve just been co-existing as friends and it’s been great.”

In November, they attended the TikTok Awards together and even holidayed in Bali with friends over Christmas.

Though fans of the series have expressed respect for how Tori and Jack have conducted themselves after the experiment, during the 2024 series they became one of the most controversial pairings in MAFS‘ history.

They faced scrutiny from the other participants who did not believe their relationship was real and Jack’s words regularly meant he was at the centre of drama, meaning many doubted their romance would last.

While things didn’t work out in the end, Tori told nine.com.au she still looked back fondly on their time together.

“Jack and I have had a massive two years. It feels like we’ve been together for five and we’ve gone through 10 years’ worth of life experiences,” she said.
