Explosive Texts Reveal Secret Affair Between MAFS’ 2020 Stars Mikey Pembroke And Stacey Hampton

We officially have our first couple swap of 2020!

In last night’s commitment ceremony, Mikey Pembroke decided to ‘leave’ his TV wife Natasha Spencer following a rocky dinner party altercation between the pair.

However, per the reality TV show’s rules, Natasha was able to force her husband to ‘stay’ in the unhappy marriage for another week – but it seems that even this couldn’t stop Mikey from having wandering eyes.

Newly published texts in New Idea have exposed a secret relationship between Mikey and another one of the show’s brides, Stacey Hampton. The alleged messages, which show a flirty exchange between the pair, are time-stamped only a month into the filming of the show in October and see Mikey allude to a partner swap.

“If they let you swap, would u (sic) do it?” Mikey asks Stacey, suggesting that he would ask the show’s producers to begin the process of a couple swap.

As their exchange continues, Mikey tells Stacey how much he would like to kiss the 25-year-old mother of two, the stars appearing to discuss staying the night together behind their spouses’ back.

The incriminating evidence is undoubtedly Stacey’s message to Mikey, where she asks, “are you coming tonight?” before calling him out for leaving the next morning without giving her a proper goodbye.

After the story got out, Mikey confirmed to news.com.au that the pair did in fact have a “one night stand”. 

“I can confirm we did have sex, but it was clearly after Natasha and I had agreed with producers that our relationship was over, and Natasha knew we weren’t together,” he told the outlet, although he remained tight-lipped on the details of the encounter. “I actually didn’t want this (story) out as it’s not the best way to end my time on the show, but it did happen.”

Although Stacey later told Woman’s Day, “Nothing happened between Mikey and I. No sexual relations. Nothing. I can guarantee that”.

Last week, Mikey was quizzed after he hinted to an affair occurring on the show while speaking to Fitzy and Wippa. When the radio duo asked the star whether he would make a move on Stacey in a ‘cheating’ scandal, he instantly downplayed the affair, without ruling the possibility out completely.

“You know what? Probably not. She’s not my kind of girl. Like, I did say I didn’t like high-maintenance girls that are a lot of work. But she’s still attractive,” he said.

He then cheekily added: “[But] give me a few beers and I’ll go out and there’s not much I wouldn’t hit!”

Pembroke then confirmed that after incidents in past seasons, there is now protocol when it comes to partner-swapping on MAFS. Participants must now ask producers for permission and are also required to ask the other person in the relationship if they’re ok with them making advances on their spouse. Talk about awkward!
