MAFS groom is actually a good bloke.
“Sophie is not comfortable with Jake and I being friends and being in contact.,”
Mel Grieg said.
“Sophie felt uncomfortable with our friendship and felt that Jake was crossing boundaries and being disrespectful by being my friend and that played a big part in the break up.”

However, shortly after making those comments Mel said she’d spoken to Sophie and learned that there was a “bigger issue at play.”
“Sophie has made me aware of other issues which are concerning and I’m just trying to hear both sides of the story first, but out of fairness for Sophie it’s important for me to be transparent where I can be,” Mel said.

Daily Mail Australia understands that Rebecca and Ben first dated in June, prior to her appearance on the show, and have recently reconnected.
It was revealed earlier on Friday that Jake Edwards has split with his girlfriend, personal trainer Sophie, 32.
Swipe: In doing so, she took a swipe at her ex, Jake (right) referencing the matching tattoo he got with his now former girlfriend Sophie Guidolin. No tattoos, just love, Rebecca captioned a photo of herself and Ben kissing passionate in a hammock
The pair first met on March 10 and started dating weeks later.
Jake had to keep their relationship under wraps to begin with because his marriage to Rebecca was still playing out on MAFS.

The break-up appears to be amicable, as the exes are still following each other on Instagram and Jake has kept photos of Sophie on his account.
Meanwhile, Sophie has wiped Jake from her profile, but this is unrelated to their split.
Splitting up: The reason for the break-up is still unclear, but Daily Mail Australia understands no third parties were involved and no cheating was suspected
Scrutiny: Personal trainer Sophie, 32, had been the target of trolling since going public with Jake, 33, last month, and this may have put a strain on their romance
She had deleted all photos of Jake from her account before they broke up because the posts were being spammed with abusive comments.
Share We have all seen more boob on Insta then poor Jake ever did, one follower commented below the photo, adding two crying-with-laughter emojis.
This was in reference to the fact Beck and Jake never had sex on the show.
The look: Her decision to post such risqué content confused fans as Beck had previously complained about her MAFS husband Jake Edwards (left) objectifying her at the altar
Another critic noted that Beck had allowed men to post leering comments on the photo, despite throwing a tantrum when Jake glanced at her lustfully. Doesn t remove the comments from the men saying yum but Jake couldn t think the same..? they wrote.
