Everyone Has An Ex

Mamamia Podcasts

100 episodes · in order · Explicit

Exes. We’ve all had one and we’ve all been one. And while breakups can be painful and heart-breaking, a complete surprise or a total relief, there’s always a story to be told.

More about the show

This documentary-style series, narrated by Georgia Love, brings you a collection of unconventional stories about relationships past, through the eyes and the hearts of the very people who lived them.

Tales of public humiliation and prison to forbidden love and funerals; we bring you the good, the bad and all the juicy details in between.

Everyone Has An Ex explores the deep intricacies of relationships, the curve-balls life throws at you and overcoming adversity through resilience, honesty and a few glasses of wine.
