Jealousy flares on Married At First Sight as Layton grows concerned over Harrison and Melinda growing bond during the couple swap

Tensions simmered between Layton Mills and Melinda Willis on Monday’s episode of MAFS when the relationship experts introduced a shocking twist. 

The couple was told to swap partners with their arch rivals Harrison Boon and Bronte Schofield, which Layton, 35, initially refused to do.

Jealousy soon reared its ugly head when Melinda, 33, agreed to let Harrison, 32, move into her apartment to live for a few days. 

‘I don’t think I would’ve felt comfortable with any of the husbands coming in to live in the apartment that Mel and I had made a home. I strongly felt like it was against my values and principles,’ Layton told TV Week.

‘It really made me questioned whether Mel and I were aligned on what was important in our relationship.’

He went on to say he was ‘disappointed’ Melinda didn’t give him the understanding and support he wanted.

‘That was really hard because I felt like Mel was giving more support to Harrison than she was to me. I guess it was a lot of pent-up emotion that came out in a very real and raw way,’ he said.

The biotech CEO added: ‘It was very strange to see two people who considered themselves enemies bonding over a tea together in our apartment.’

Layton and Melinda clashed on Monday’s episode when he refused to move in with Harrison’s wife Bronte, 28, saying that while he was willing to participate in some kind of ‘swap’, he didn’t think it was right for them to live together.

Things took a turn for the worse when Harrison showed up to the couple’s apartment with his suitcase ready to move in.

‘I’m not going to go and move in with another woman. Fundamentally, this activity is not one that I agree with, but I’m happy to participate,’ Layton said firmly.

He continued: ‘But I can do it my own way, and I feel like I can do that without having to move in. I feel like I can do that from moving to a separate apartment.’

Melinda explained that while she wasn’t thrilled by the idea of spending a weekend with Harrison, she thought ‘you only live once’.

‘I always think yolo, getting outside your comfort zone grows you. It’s all self-development, it’s all growth. That’s just the way I look at life,’ she told producers.

‘Layton is quite southern, so he’s black and white. He’s like, “I only see it like this and this is how I see it,” and I’m just a little bit different.’
