Carina continued: "I was like, I'm so busy leading up to us all catching up, I was running around, it was a really busy time in Sydney," she said.
She clarified what their post-MAFS relationship is like now by explaining: "We don't speak every day, we're obviously quite civil though."
"We just message back and forth on Instagram every now and then. That's it, nothing crazy," she added.
"I wish him all the best and wish he finds the girl that's meant to be for him. We're just friends, there's no bad blood at all."

Paul said he only wishes Carina the best.
"I know she's happy and I'm also happy. In the end, it's all good," he smiled.
