Interview 🎙️ | Are Cam and Jules of #MAFS really as smitten in real life? @francescasteele sits down with them to find out thetimes.co.uk/article/marrie…
Cynics may be inclined to believe that the couple is more contrived than their TV narrative may suggest. When they appear on Zoom, however, they are bubbly and genuine
It’s three years since they met and they have since tied the knot for real. They live together in Sydney and have a five-month-old son, Oliver
“It wasn’t love at first sight,” Jules says, laughing. “Cam wasn’t someone I’d have looked at twice in the street. We weren’t what each other ordered. But the experiment was about being open. From the moment we met it felt relaxed” 
They weren’t asked to stage anything on #MAFSAustralia, they say, although of course cameras were filming for 12 hours a day, producers checking in on every feeling. Sometimes after filming until 4am, the producers would still knock on their doors at 8am
On one occasion Jules had a meltdown, sobbing after one of the dreaded dinner parties. “It was just such a toxic environment. It was like being bullied at high school or something,” she says

They do still see Cyrell (“her heart is in the right place”), Cyrell’s “ex-husband” Nic (“he’s a really good bloke”) and Heidi, the radio host with the corkscrew curls who was a bridesmaid at their real wedding
What is a surprise is their newly acquired affection for Ines. Read more: thetimes.co.uk/article/marrie…
