Married At First Sight Australia kicked off on Monday night, and there’s already a feud brewing between the brides.
Within minutes of the women meeting each other, Connie ‘Coco’ Stedman clashed with Samantha Jayne after she made unkind comments about Sam’s ex-husband.
As the conversation turned to the ideal age of their partner, Samantha, 31, said she was hoping to be matched with someone older.

Samantha explained: ‘The father of my children is 16 years older than me, so I’ve always gone for older guys.’
‘How old were you when you got married?’ Coco, 30, asked, to which Samantha replied: ‘I was 21.’
Coco then asked: ‘How old were you when you got with him?’ Samantha answered: ‘Seventeen.’
Wishful: As the conversation turned to the ideal age of their partner, Samantha, 31, said she was hoping to be matched with someone older
‘Seventeen and 33? Mate, call the judge!’ Coco was shocked to learn that Samantha was a teenager when she first got together with her ex-husband and the father of her two children
Coco quickly did the maths in her head and blurted out: ‘Seventeen and 33? Mate, call the judge! I’m sorry, that’s a bit red hot, isn’t it?’
Shen then insulted the mother of two by whispering, ‘Can we get a check on that?’
Samantha told producers that Coco’s comments were completely uncalled for, saying: ‘Coco is disrespectful person. She’s the most outspoken. It’s not appropriate.’
She added: ‘It’s next level. It’s not…normal. She was judging me on the fact that the father of my children was older than me. It didn’t sit well.’
Offensive: Samantha was stunned Connie’s hurtful comments about her ex
The Canberra-based property developer added: ‘Whatever she wants to serve to me I’ll serve it back. You know bring on the tennis match.’
The two women then faced off, with Samantha confronting Coco, saying: ‘I watched you laugh and say, “Can I get a check on that?” when I shared with everyone here my partner that was actually older than me. I don’t respect that.’
Coco replied: ‘It is a large age gap. 16 years,’ Coco said in her own defence.
‘It is,’ Samantha agreed, but added: ‘That’s the father of my children. And for you to judge me…’
‘I’m not judging you. I’m saying that I’m very sorry that you found that disrespectful. I’m sorry for that,’ Coco said in apology.
However Samantha, who is is the founder and owner of a hair extensions brand, was only somewhat placated, but vowed not to forget the exchange.
‘You can’t undo what you’ve said. You can say sorry. But I’m always gonna know and I’m always gonna put that in my mind and I’ll remember that for later on,’ Sam said.
