The duo were initially matched with other members of the Married at First Sight 2023 cast<\/a> \u2013 Ella was in a marriage with Nathanial, while JJ was married to Bianca.<\/p>\n However, it soon became clear that Ella and JJ had a connection. After texting and a secret meet-up, Nathanial revealed that JJ and Ella had been chatting behind his and Bianca\u2019s backs, causing a big show at one of the dinner parties.<\/p>\n Nathanial then quit, and Bianca later let rip into JJ and Ella at the commitment ceremony<\/a> before leaving the show.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Ella and JJ were given another chance, as they reentered the experiment after sharing a kiss<\/a>.<\/p>\n So, are Ella and JJ still together?<\/p>\n Read on for everything we know so far.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Age:\u00a0<\/strong>29<\/p>\n Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Clinic consultant<\/p>\n Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Weston-super-Mare<\/p>\n Ella is a clinical consultant from Weston-super-Mare. She makes history on the E4 show as the first trans bride to take part, saying other shows like \u201cLove Island would never\u201d have her take part<\/a>.<\/p>\n Speaking ahead of the show, she said: \u201cMy parents weren\u2019t that shocked because I have done some crazy stuff \u2013 my transition is pretty big in itself \u2013 but I think the only way I was ever going to find someone was by putting myself out there and let someone else do the picking.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of guys interested, but as soon as they find out about me or it gets to a serious stage, they kind of cut it off because they\u2019re like \u2018I\u2019m a bit embarrassed by you. I don\u2019t want to tell my family and friends\u2019 and I don\u2019t want to be someone\u2019s dirty secret!\u201d<\/p>\n Ella was originally matched with Nathanial, 36, however, their relationship remained in the friend zone, with Nathanial \u2013 who identifies as pansexual \u2013 claiming he\u2019d asked to be matched with a \u201cmasculine\u201d woman or man. A spokesperson for Channel 4 denied this.<\/p> Age:\u00a0<\/strong>30<\/p>\n Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Fashion brand owner<\/p>\n Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Essex<\/p>\n He was originally matched with business owner Bianca, 29, however, he struggled to find the physical chemistry within their relationship.<\/p>\n Season 8 was filmed some time ago, meaning the couples have made their final decisions.<\/p>\n However, Channel 4 are yet to confirm whether Ella and JJ are still together or if they made it to the end of the experiment as a couple.<\/p>\n The pair are currently following one another on Instagram, which suggests that they\u2019re on good terms.<\/p>\n JJ recently defended Ella, as she experienced transphobic abuse.<\/p>\n As reported by\u00a0The Sun<\/a>, JJ answered a fan\u2019s question by saying: \u201cAm I bi now? No! I see Ella as a girl. I don\u2019t know how many times I have to say that. The thing is everyone in the experiment saw Ella as a woman and a girl because that\u2019s what she is.\u201d<\/p>\n While some of the cast has commented that this is the \u201chappiest\u201d they\u2019ve seen Ella, after she struggled to take her relationship to the next level with Nathanial, others aren\u2019t convinced there\u2019s a deep enough connection between Ella and JJ.<\/p>\n Upon their return to the the experiment as a new couple, Erica and her partner Jordan, and Adrienne didn\u2019t seem pleased as they questioned Ella and JJ\u2019s morals for treating their former partners in this way.<\/p>\n And some fans have shared their thoughts online, with one writing: \u201cI\u2019m not buying it that JJ has a genuine connection with Ella<\/span>\u00a0#MAFSUK.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cJJ<\/span> doesn\u2019t like <\/span>Ella<\/span>\u2026.<\/span>Ella<\/span> doesn\u2019t like <\/span>JJ<\/span>, he just gave her the attention that Nathaniel didn\u2019t. I guarantee they\u2019re <\/span>not<\/span> still <\/span>together<\/span> today. <\/span>#MAFSUK,\u201d another said.<\/span><\/p>\n As well as this, Ella has questioned her future with JJ<\/a>, and ahead of the vow renewal she cast doubt on their relationship<\/a> while admitting that she needed to do what\u2019s best for her.<\/p>\n As soon as we know more about the status of their relationship, we\u2019ll update you right here.<\/p>\n Married at First Sight UK 2023 airs on E4 on Monday to Thursday at 9pm.
