MAFS fans believe Laura Vaughan and JJ Slater may be in a relationship.

Married At First Sight star Laura Vaughan, 34, has addressed rumours she is in a relationship with fellow contestant JJ Slater, 31, after the pair were pictured together on a night out.

The reality TV favourites are both single after Laura split from her partner Arthur Poremba, 34, and JJ ended his relationships with both Bianca Petronzi, 29, and Ella Morgan, 29, whilst on the show.

However it seems that there could be a new MAFS couple on the horizon after the influencers enjoyed a cosy get-together this weekend.

One user wrote: "I don't know no friends that sit like thattt 👀👀👀🤧😆"

However Laura was quick to shut down rumours the two were dating, commenting on JJ's post:

"Honestly guys, we are just friends I promise! Ella was meant to come with us on the night out but she couldn't make it last min and no, I am not holding anything, my hand is resting on my shin 😂😂😂😂"

JJ also captioned the image: "MAFS Friends (inbetweeners voice) 🖤", with Laura similarly posting: "Swipe for one of my MAFS best friends @johnjoeslater"

Currently only three of the couples who were matched on Married At First Sight are still together.

Peggy Rose and Georges Berthonneau, Tasha Jay and Paul Liba and Erica Roberts and Jordan Gayle are currently in a relationship after meeting on the show.

Similarly Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor are now a couple, after bonding once filming had ended. The pair were previously in relationships with Brad Skelly and Adrienne Naylor respectively.

Fans won't have to wait long to see the MAFS cast back on their screens, as the Married At First Sight reunion is set to air next year.

It was revealed that Luke Worley would not be taking part in the reunion special after his argument with Jordan Gayle.

The groom was axed from the show, alongside his wife Jay Howard, after Luke initiated a physical altercation with Jordan in his apartment.
