Married at First Sight continues tonight (Tuesday 19th September) with two more weddings \u2013 one of those is the wedding of events marketing manager Nathanial and clinic consultant Ella.<\/p>\n

In a preview for Tuesday night\u2019s episode, Ella could be seen looking pretty apprehensive as she talked to Nathanial on their wedding day.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not yet known if the pair stayed together after the show, which was filmed previously, judging by Nathanial\u2019s comments, it\u2019s not sounding good for these two.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the launch, Nathanial hinted that he had a better connection with one of the other Married at First Sight 2023 cast<\/a> members.<\/p>\n

Asked if he felt there was someone \u201cbetter suited\u201d to him in the process, the 36-year-old told RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press: \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI think there\u2019s things about the experience that are really positive that I\u2019ve learnt and grown and people that I\u2019ve met, but I think there\u2019s two sides of everything. There\u2019s a coin and it balances out to be equal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

His comments come after opening up about the issues he\u2019s faced due to his sexuality. Nathanial identifies as pansexual, meaning he is sexually or\u00a0romantically<\/span> attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender \u2013 something he says he\u2019s often judged for.<\/p>\n

Speaking of why he decided to join the E4 dating show, he said: \u201cI\u2019m a 36-year-old man. I\u2019m Black, I\u2019m queer, I\u2019m pansexual. I feel like there\u2019s a lot of doors that close on me with relationships. There\u2019s a lot of perceptions of what I am and what I get judged as, and through this situation I just wanted to meet someone \u2013 I wanted to meet in such a beautiful way where you could actually see how a pansexual man loves.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for the outset of everyone who is watching this show [they] can just see love and forget about the hate and just loving for loving someone.\u201d<\/p>\n
