Married At First Sight’s Teejay Halkias was put in the hot seat during Wednesday night’s dinner party when his co-stars interrogated him about his relationship with Beth Kelly. The intruder groom had confessed to his friends during homestays that he was still trying to figure out if he wanted a relationship with Beth outside the experiment because they didn’t have a “spark”.
On top of that, Beth was confused that Teejay had initiated intimacy with her after previously saying he needed an emotional connection to do so. Speaking with Yahoo Lifestyle about his relationship at this point in the experiment, Teejay admits he “absolutely” regrets sleeping with Beth and giving her mixed messages.
“I could make up any excuse in the book – Beth gave me the green light in her confessions letter, Alessandra [Rampolla] asked Beth if she needed an emotional connection in order to have sex and she said no. But regardless, it was my decision to initiate that,” he says.
“And even though Beth did say yes, it probably wasn’t the right decision on my behalf and I definitely appreciate where Beth’s coming from there. She would have been confused and watching it back I’m like, ‘F**k, why did you do that Teejay? That was so silly’. It definitely wasn’t the right move at the time.”

Teejay says he ‘needed to be honest’
This year’s season of MAFS has seen grooms being slammed for a variety of reasons, with Eliot Donovan criticised for being too honest with his feelings towards Lauren Hall and Dave Thomas Hand coming under scrutiny for not being honest enough with Jamie Marinos.
While Teejay has received backlash on social media for the way he discussed his feelings for Beth – or lack thereof – he argues that he didn’t do anything wrong.
“In my opinion, I don’t think I necessarily did something wrong other than tell her how I felt in that situation. I was never unfaithful, I never lied, I never degraded her or did anything like that, I just told her how I felt in the moment,” he says.
“Yeah, it was s**t, because no one wins in that situation. I don’t want to make Beth unhappy, and I know that telling her that information would have made her unhappy too, but I just needed to be honest.”
The former Big Brother star went on to say that he was transparent with his feelings throughout the experiment and always thought Beth felt the same way he did.
“A few weeks before homestays I was always saying, I don’t know whether this is a friendship – a really good friendship – or a relationship. And Beth would equally say she’s on the same page,” he shares. “I never wanted to tell Beth I was more deep into my feelings than I was, so I was definitely open about that for the entire time.”
He also admits their relationship “plateaued” around homestays when he started comparing their connection to their co-stars’.
“I was kind of seeing the relationships around us that were growing deeper and analysing mine and being like, ‘Okay, why isn’t mine growing deeper? Why aren’t Beth and I feeling more connected? Why aren’t I romantically inclined?’,” he recalls.
“Regardless of that, Beth and I had never stopped getting along or having a great time or doing things together, because we genuinely enjoy each other’s company.”
