This week we’re hearing the other side of the story. After our explosive chat with Chris earlier this week, his other half, Sam Stanton, joins us to set the record straight. Sam, the Adelaide gym owner, and one half of MAFS 2026’s first gay intruder couple. While their wedding looked like a fairytale, the honeymoon phase didn't last long. Today, Sam opens up about the "slow burn" that frustrated Chris, the red flags he saw on the very first morning, and why he felt he had to bring a journal to the dinner table. We also discuss his support of Bec throughout the season and now after. ____________________________________________________________________________ His socials INSTA instagram.com/sammystants My socials INSTAGRAM instagram.com/ellamayding instagram.com/ellaerapodcast TIKTOK tiktok.com/@emayding WEBSITE ellamayding.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
