'She is smitten!' Claims Married at First Sight's Lauren Huntriss (left) has 'husband swapped' and is secretly dating Mick Gould (right) after split from 'former virgin' Matthew Bennett A spark formed, the source claims, and the pair have reportedly been seeing one another since Lauren's split from TV 'husband' Matthew Bennett, 29. 'Lauren has definitely told those closest to her about him and is smitten' the source alleges, but the pair are hiding their romance not to 'anger producers' on the show. Mick is paired with Jessika Power on the show but the magazine's source claims the part-time model 'never liked Mick' and turned a blind eye to his bond with Lauren. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Channel Nine for comment. A number of friendly, flirty social media exchanges between the pair have occurred recently. Most tellingly, when Mick posted a photo of his farm to Instagram last week, Lauren commented: 'wish I was there'. She also commented that he was a 'stud' under an Instagram post in which Mick is wearing a blue suit. They have also shared a number of in-jokes about pizza and champagne, with Lauren often responding laughing to Mick's online jokes. It comes after ' former virgin' and the make-up artist unanimously decided to part ways during Sunday night's commitment ceremony. 'I'm sorry I couldn't give you what you needed,' Matthew told a tearful Lauren, after she overheard him saying that he was not physically attracted to her.
