Married at First Sight Australia star Natalie Parham has revealed she's dating someone new following her split from Collins Christian.
The reality TV star appeared in this year's series of the hit dating show, matched with Collins. The two were the first couple to quit the experiment, with Natalie walking out on her groom after the first commitment ceremony, claiming Collins was giving "an Oscars performance".
In a new interview with news.com.au, Natalie confirmed that she has since moved on from the break-up and is now in a new romance with a woman.

While Natalie didn't share too many details on her new relationship, she did call her new partner "special".

It was Natalie who called time on her marriage to Collins on the show, who felt her groom was not being genuine towards her.
During the first commitment ceremony, Natalie wrote "leave" while Collins voted to stay, meaning the couple remained in the experiment for another week.
MAFS expert John Aiken had stern words for Collins during the sofa session, advising him to "fight" for his marriage in the next week.
In their first meeting after the commitment ceremony, Natalie asked Collins to give her an example of when he was happy in the marriage, not including the wedding day.
"Every moment I see you, I am happy, because that's what I'm here for," he responded.
An unconvinced Natalie claimed Collins was acting, with her feeling like she was on "the set of Neighbours or Home and Away".
"It just feels so manufactured," she told the camera. "If this is the real him and that's him forever, I could not do that. It's exhausting."
