Jessika Power admits she was 'pig-headed' during her time on MAFS

Over the years we've seen plenty of big personalities clash and dramas erupt on Married At First Sight, but no bride has been more controversial than Jessika Power.

The now 30-year-old has reflected on the experience and admitted she was "conceited and pig headed" at the time.

Jessika, who is currently based in the UK, revealed what going on the show has taught her about herself and what she's looking for in a partner in an interview with The Sun.

The controversial bride appeared on the 2019 season of MAFS, where she was paired with Mick Gould.

But, when their relationship started to fizzle out, instead of ending things she opted to stay in the experiment to pursue a relationship with fellow groom Dan Webb, who was paired with Tamara Joy.

Their short-lived relationship not only hurt their respective partners at the time, but became one of the most heated and contentious moments in the show's history.

"I was only 27 when I took part in series six of Married At First Sight Australia, but it ended up being one of the best experiences of my life because it taught me a lot about myself," she told The Sun.

Jessika explained it taught her a lot about herself and what she needs to fix to be in a healthy relationship.

"I was conceited, pig-headed and thought the whole world revolved around me," she said.

"Watching it back, I thought: 'How could someone love me when it's clear I don't love myself?' I was alone for a long time after that because I was healing."

Since her time on the show, all of Jessika's relationships have been thrust into the spotlight and she admitted she's finally started to be more aware of red flags.

She added she would like to get married someday, despite it not working out during her time on MAFS.

One thing that has changed for the reality star is her ability to date now she's overseas.

Life in the UK means a lot of people have no idea who she is, which makes dating a lot easier.

Her struggles in finding love pushed her to join the show Celebs Go Dating, and there's a new man in her life now.

She's currently in a relationship with British podcaster Connor Thompson, who often features in her Instagram snaps.

Married At First Sight returns on Monday January 31, 2022 at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now. Catch up on 9Now.
