"I have a lot of respect and care for Lacey," he told Yahoo UK. "We both wanted different things. I went on the show to find love, and sometimes things don’t work out, but everything happens for a reason, and I’m so grateful for the time we shared together."
"Whilst I was hugely disappointed by the break up, and heartbroken, I respected her decision to part ways and I have nothing but love and good wishes for her," he added.

Reflecting further on his experience on MAFS UK, Nathan said: "I have learnt that I am deserving of somebody who loves me for me, and that I am enough as I am.
"That I don’t need to hide who I am, and I learnt a lot from the experts about how to work through relationships, friendships, and that if you are with the right person, they will stay, and work through everything with you."
He also touched on his experience with ADHD, which he spoke about on the show, saying he is "proud" to be himself and that his ADHD "deserves love too".
