Married At First Sight star Teejay Halkias has revealed he made a move to reconnect with his TV wife Beth Kelly after their dramatic breakup.
The 29-year-old groom made the shock admission he felt compelled to check in on Beth, 28, once filming was over.
'I tried to reach out and make sure she was doing okay. I know she was pretty upset during the show,' he told 9Entertainment.
'She wanted to chat about a few things, so we had a chat and that was that. We had a long conversation, it was good.'
While the reunion wasn’t romantic, Teejay said their relationship is now on friendly terms.

'Things are obviously platonic between Beth and I. It won't be anything romantic... but amicable,' he said.
'If we see each other out we'll speak to each other and whatnot, but I wouldn't say we're best friends.'
It comes after Beth dramatically ended her relationship with Teejay just days before the couple were due to face one another at Final Vows.
In March, the hair salon manager from the Gold Coast made the heartbreaking decision to walk away from the experiment after weeks of feeling rejected by her TV husband.
Beth blindsided viewers and Teejay alike by calling it quits as the pair packed up their belongings at the eleventh hour, following an emotional fallout at the final dinner party.
Breaking down in tears, Beth confessed: 'That conversation [at the Dinner Party] has made me feel so s**t.
'It's obvious he doesn't want me, doesn't want this relationship, and I can't go to Final Vows and stand in front of someone that I've had feelings for, confess that I wanted a future with them, for them to tell me that again.'
Visibly upset, she added: 'I don't see a future with you. I'm not gonna put my energy into it. I'm not wasting my time anymore. Oh God, I'm so sick of crying'.

The brunette beauty, who wore minimal makeup and a simple white tank top as she sobbed during the emotional scene, reflected on how far they had fallen from the promising start of their relationship.
'I genuinely thought that we would walk out of this experiment together,' she said. 'I thought we were perfectly matched and now from going from that to where we are… it's so sad it didn't work out.'
Beth's shock decision came just days after she sat down with Daily Mail Australia to reveal the real reason behind her choice to quit the experiment early.
She admitted she reached breaking point after Teejay, a business development manager from Melbourne, repeatedly made it clear he wasn't invested in their relationship.
'My reason for leaving was purely because Teejay wrote 'leave.' He was obviously completely checked out,' Beth said.
'I don't think you can tell a person you don't wanna be with them any more than that.'
The fiery brunette admitted she initially tried to salvage their relationship but eventually realised she was 'chasing someone who didn't want me'.
