And as I picked it up...

and saw a number I didn't have saved, I decided to answer it anyway, which I rarely do, to be honest.

And as I answered it and heard what was being said on the other side, I was no longer hopeful for Chris and Sam.

Hey Josh, sorry I'm randomly reaching you out.

My name is Beep.

We have a mutual friend and they gave me a number.

I hope that's okay.

I actually know one of the gay grooms in the article yesterday and he was dating my friend literally weeks ago.

The stranger on the phone told me.

The person then explained how for the last few months, their friend had been seeing Chris to the point of like spending a few nights a week together, sleeping at each other's places.

This person also told me or claimed how a week or so earlier, as his friend was at Chris's farm with him, he remembers on a Wednesday night, Chris stepping outside to take a phone call, which lasted for like an hour or so.

And then when he came back inside,

he had a completely different vibe.

The following day, now Thursday, as this guy's friend left Chris's farm and went home to Sydney, he tried reaching out to Chris to confirm the Friday night plans they'd already penciled in, but there was no reply.

As more days then passed, there was still no reply.

And as he eventually tried calling Chris, it didn't connect through.

And then, after seeing my friend's paparazzi pictures of Married at First Sight's first gay wedding in the years, which were now all over socials and the press, and recognizing Chris, the man I was now on the phone to did two things.

Firstly, he phoned his friend and went, hey, mate, yeah, so I figured out where Chris went and why he's not replying to you.

The pair then speculated that that phone call on that Wednesday night, like almost two weeks prior to this, they believe was Chris being given the green light to appear unmarried at first sight.

And then when he stepped back inside to the guy he was seeing, who claims his whole vibe and persona had changed, that would kind of explain it.
