Married At First Sight UK star Ella Morgan, the show’s first trans bride, has spoken for the first time about her split from her Celebs Go Dating boyfriend Alex James Ali.
The reality star, 31, met hair stylist Alex while taking part in reality show Celebs Go Dating during the summer of 2024 but she has now confirmed they have separated.
Taking via Instagram Stories on Thursday, January 2, Ella wrote: “I’ve had a lot of questions over the last week or so regarding my relationship with Alex following the articles announcing we had split over Christmas. I was hoping to do this in my own time after the festive period so I could focus on spending time with my family.
“Unfortunately we made the decision to separate in December and I am so saddened by the decision, but it was the right thing to do to protect myself and ultimately, for us to both be happy.”
Viewers of Celebs Go Dating watched the early days of their relationship play out when the show hit our screens in August.
“Since meeting in July, my time with Alex has helped me grow massively as a person and I know now what I want from a man in my next relationship. I’ll cherish the memories we made. I wish Alex the very best.
“2025 is the time to focus on myself, and my career, and I can’t wait! Thank you so much for all your continued love, and the support around the news. Love always, Ella x.”
